Claim 14:
15. An apparatus comprising:
means for a data fusion module and a decision and control module in a computer memory;
means for a sensor suite, wherein the means for the sensor suite is to obtain a sensor data regarding a position and orientation of a load;
means for a computer processor to execute the data fusion module and to thereby determine a state estimate of the load in a coordinate frame based on the sensor data; and
means for the computer processor to execute the decision and control module and to thereby control a thruster to output at least one of a lateral force or torque on the load based on the state estimate of the load in the coordinate frame and to thereby control the load; wherein
the thruster is configured to be located at, on, or proximate to the load at a bottom of a suspension cable beneath a carrier.
