Trajectory determination in a drone race

This invention describes a system to help drones navigate a race course. It works by reading special markers on each gate to understand the course layout, then calculating the best possible path for a specific drone based on that drone's abilities, like its speed and battery life. If the drone flies too far off this calculated ideal path, the system steps in to provide navigation assistance.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in real-time computer vision and AI-driven path planning. Modern embedded vision systems and machine learning algorithms can now more efficiently determine gate poses and generate complex optimal trajectories.
