Launching unmanned aerial copter from mid-air

This is a drone designed to be launched by a user throwing it into the air. It senses the upward motion of the throw, specifically by detecting a certain level of upward acceleration. Once thrown, it automatically calculates and applies power to its propellers to ascend to a predetermined height above the user's remote control device.

Why it matters: The miniaturization and cost reduction of inertial sensors and wireless communication modules since 2016 make the hardware for this system more accessible. Additionally, advancements in drone flight control software simplify implementing the required launch and stabilization logic.
