Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A manned vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aerial vehicle comprises: a body comprising a cockpit having pilot-operable controls; a propulsion system carried by the body to propel the body during flight; a control system comprising a sensing system, a processor, and memory storing program instructions configured to cause the processor to determine a state estimate of the aerial vehicle within a region, a repulsion vector based on a repulsion potential field model of the region and the state estimate, and a collision avoidance velocity vector based on the repulsion vector and the state estimate; determine an input vector indicative of an intended angular velocity and an intended thrust of the vehicle based on pilot-operable control inputs; determine a control vector based on the collision avoidance velocity vector and the input vector; and control the propulsion system such that the manned VTOL aerial vehicle avoids an object in the region.
