G05D 1/24 Arrangements for determining position or orientation
Introduced: January 2024
Full Title
Full titles differ between systems:
Control of position, course, altitude or attitude of land, water, air or space vehicles, e.g. using automatic pilots > Control system inputs > Arrangements for determining position or orientation
Control of position, course, altitude or attitude of land, water, air or space vehicles, e.g. using automatic pilots (drive control systems specially adapted for autonomous road vehicles B60W60/00) > Control system inputs > Arrangements for determining position or orientation
IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 7 subcodes exist in both systems.
2 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
IPC defines codes here since 2024.
