Fujifilm had four patents in robotics during Q2 2024. The patent filed by Fujifilm Holdings Corp in Q2 2024 describes a control apparatus that rotates a distance measurement device to measure distances between the device and a target object at multiple locations. Based on these measurements, a flying route is set for a flying object to follow along the target object. The flying object captures images of the target object using an imaging apparatus, with the control apparatus ensuring constant pixel resolution of the images.

Application: Control apparatus, base station, control method, and program (Patent ID: US20240111311A1)
The patent filed by Fujifilm Holdings Corp. describes a control apparatus that includes a processor and memory to rotate a distance measurement device, measure distances between a target object and the device, set a flying route for a flying object based on these distances, and maintain pixel resolution of an imaging apparatus on the flying object. The apparatus can adjust the rotational angle of the drive apparatus, use LiDAR scanning for distance measurements, control the flying object's posture based on imaging data, and maintain pixel resolution even when the distance between the object and imaging positions changes.
The patent also includes claims for a base station incorporating the control apparatus, a control method involving rotating the distance measurement device, measuring distances, setting a flying route, and maintaining pixel resolution, as well as a computer-readable storage medium storing a program to execute these processes. The apparatus can use multiple distance measurement devices, correct positions based on imaging data, and ensure constant pixel resolution during imaging. The technology described in the patent aims to enhance control and imaging capabilities for flying objects in inspection and surveillance applications.
