Sound-generation hardware for remote-controlled vehicle/drone.
Systems and methods control sounds produced by a remote-controlled vehicle during operation of the remote-controlled vehicle are described herein. One or more components of the remote-controlled vehicle may be controlled and/or manipulated so that the remote-controlled vehicle produces sounds during operation that match a predetermined set of sounds. The control and/or manipulation of the one or more components of the remote-controlled vehicle may be effectuated without alternating a path of the remote-controlled vehicle.
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
This disclosure relates to controlling sounds produced by a remote-controlled vehicle during operation of the remote-controlled vehicle.BACKGROUND
Remote-controlled vehicles, such as multi-copters, are popular for recreation. The sounds of multi-copters propellers during operation can be loud and annoying.SUMMARY
One aspect of the disclosure relates to a system configured to control sounds produced by a remote-controlled vehicle during operation of the remote-controlled vehicle. In accordance with one or more implementations, resultant sound from a remote-controlled vehicle propellers and/or other components may be controlled to make a predetermined set of sounds rather than noise. By way of non-limiting illustration, the rotational speed of the propellers may be set to match a particular pitch and/or tone at specific points in time. Active actuators may manipulate the vehicle's thrust to control position and/or orientation. Position of the remote-controlled vehicle may be directly dependent on propeller rotation per minute. In order to decouple sound from thrust, active actuators may be utilized.
In some implementations, one or more configurations of one or more components of the remote-controlled vehicle may be controlled to make a predetermined set of sounds. In some implementations, control of components of the remote-controlled vehicle may be performed without altering the remote-controlled vehicle's navigation path. In som
1. A system configured to control sounds produced by a remote-controlled vehicle during operation of the remote-controlled vehicle, the system comprising: one or more physical processors configured by machine readable instructions to: obtain operation control information, the operation control information including control signals that dictate one or more of an amount of thrust, a direction of travel, and/or an orientation of a remoted controlled vehicle; obtain sound profile information, the sound profile information specifying associations between configurations of components of the remote-controlled vehicle and one or more values of one or more attributes of sound produced by the remote-controlled vehicle during operation of the remote-controlled vehicle; obtain sound production information, the sound production information specifying a set of sounds to be produced by the remote-controlled vehicle during operation of the remote-controlled vehicle; generate sound control information, the sound control information including sound control signals that dictate changes in the configurations of the components of the remote-controlled vehicle to cause the remote-controlled vehicle to produce the sounds in the set of sounds during operation without altering one or more of the amount of thrust, the direction of travel, and/or the orientation of the remote-controlled vehicle; and effectuate transmission of the sound control signals to the remote-controlled vehicle so that the remote-controlled vehicle produces the sounds in the set of sounds during operation without altering one or more of the amount of thrust, the direction of travel, and/or the orientation of the remote-controlled vehicle.
11. A method to control sounds produced by a remote-controlled vehicle during operation of the remote-controlled vehicle, the method comprising: obtaining operation control information, the operation control information including control signals that dictate one or more of an amount of thrust, a direction of travel, and/or an orientation of a remoted controlled vehicle; obtaining sound profile information, the sound profile information specifying associations between configurations of components of the remote-controlled vehicle and one or more values of one or more attributes of sound produced by the remote-controlled vehicle during operation of the remote-controlled vehicle; obtaining sound production information, the sound production information specifying a set of sounds to be produced by the remote-controlled vehicle during operation of the remote-controlled vehicle; generating sound control information, the sound control information including sound control signals that dictate changes in the configurations of the components of the remote-controlled vehicle to cause the remote-controlled vehicle to produce the sounds in the set of sounds during operation without altering one or more of the amount of thrust, the direction of travel, and/or the orientation of the remote-controlled vehicle; and effectuating transmission of the sound control signals to the remote-controlled vehicle so that the remote-controlled vehicle produces the sounds in the set of sounds during operation without altering one or more of the amount of thrust, the direction of travel, and/or the orientation of the remote-controlled vehicle.
