A computer cockpit including a cockpit body, a driving module, a sensing module and a controlling module. The cockpit body includes a seat, a backrest and a display interface all movably disposed on the cockpit body. The display interface and the backrest are respectively located at two opposite sides of the seat. The driving module and the sensing module are disposed to the cockpit body, and the sensing module is configured to provide sensing data. The sensing data includes a seat pressure sensing value and a backrest pressure sensing value. The controlling module is electrically connected to the driving module and the sensing module, and configured to send an adjusting command according to the sensing data. The driving module is configured to receive the adjusting command to synchronously rotate the seat, the backrest and the display interface to a working angle and reduce a difference between the backrest pressure sensing value and the seat pressure sensing value.

Systems and methods provide technology for inspections including receiving image data from a sensor, the sensor operable to scan an object, where the object is a manufactured object, generating a 3D image record for the object based on the image data, comparing the 3D image record with a stored design model for the object and/or a stored baseline image record of the object, and generating findings data based on the comparing, where the findings data is indicative of a discrepancy identified between the 3D image record and the one or more of the stored design model for the object or the stored baseline image record of the object. The sensor can be mounted on a moving platform such as a robotic arm, a track mounted assembly or a drone. The technology can further include a motion or flight plan for moving the sensor relative to the object.

The present disclosure provides a control method of a UAV, a control device of a UAV, and a computer-readable storage medium, and relates to the technical field of UAVs. The control method of a UAV includes: determining a deviation between a vertical mapping point on the ground and a landing point of the UAV, the deviation comprising a deviation in a horizontal axis direction of a camera coordinate system and a deviation in a vertical axis direction of the camera coordinate system; and generating speed control amounts of the UAV in the horizontal axis direction and the vertical axis direction of the camera coordinate system by a controller, using the deviation in the horizontal axis direction and the deviation in the vertical axis direction.

A method for detecting and dynamically updating an end stop position of a slide-out assembly comprises the steps of: synchronizing a movement of each of at least two slide-out actuators during an extension operation; detecting a decreased speed of each slide-out actuator of the said at least two slide-out actuators; stopping each of the at least two slide-out actuators when the speed reaches an end-stop position threshold; comparing a travel distance of the at least two slide-out actuators to the said last saved travel distance; and updating the said last saved travel distance to a new saved travel distance, if the travel distance is greater than or less than the last saved travel distance. A control system for detecting and dynamically updating the end stop position is also provided.

A photovoltaic system includes the photovoltaic module, an electric energy conversion apparatus, an inverter, and a computing device. The computing device determines whether output power of the photovoltaic module meets a first preset condition, where the first preset condition is that the output power is greater than or equal to a first preset output power; when the first preset condition is met, the computing device determines to set the photovoltaic module to a default configuration direction, where the default configuration direction is a photovoltaic module orientation in which sunlight is irradiated onto the photovoltaic module with a minimum incident angle; and when the first preset condition is not met, the computing device determines to set the photovoltaic module to a target orientation, where the target orientation is different from the default configuration direction.
