MUMBAI, India, July 25 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202527065015 A) filed by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Tokyo, on July 8, for 'tipping risk detection method, tipping risk detection device, and flying body.'
Inventor(s) include Imaeda Ryunosuke.
The application for the patent was published on July 25, under issue no. 30/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This falling risk detection device (100) comprises a first orientation angle information acquisition unit (101), a second orientation angle calculation unit (102), an orientation variation calculation unit (103), and a falling risk detection unit (104). The first orientation angle information acquisition unit (101) acquires first orientation angle information pertaining to a first orientation angle of a probe (1) based on the inertial system. The second orientation angle calculation unit (102) calculates a second orientation angle with respect to the orientation angle of the probe (1) relative to the gravitational acceleration direction on the basis of the orientation angle information, the gravitational acceleration direction of a celestial body with respect to the inertial system, and shape information about the probe (1). The orientation variation calculation unit (103) calculates an orientation variation of the probe (1) on the basis of the second orientation angle at the current time and the second orientation angle at a start time prior to the current time. The falling risk detection unit (104) detects a falling risk when the probe (1) lands on the celestial body on the basis of the orientation variation and positional relationships between the leg tips of legs (20) grounded on the celestial body and the center of gravity of the probe (1)."
The patent application was internationally filed on Mar. 06, 2023, under International application No.PCT/JP2023/008245.
