Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and method of controlling a boomerang. The apparatus includes: a detection unit for detecting moving information of a boomerang including a plurality of wings; a movement prediction unit for generating movement prediction information of the boomerang by using the detected moving information; and a control unit for controlling an angular velocity of a rotation shaft connected to the plurality of wings or a flap angle of the plurality of wings of the boomerang according to the generated movement prediction information. Accordingly, the boomerang may accurately move to a target place by controlling flight of the boomerang by using moving information of the boomerang. Also, a flight distance of the boomerang may be increased by switching a flight state from non-power flight to powered flight.
