摘要: An example carriage is configured for mounting to an unmanned aerial vehicle. The carriage generally includes a housing assembly configured for mounting to the unmanned aerial vehicle, a movable grip mounted to the housing assembly for movement between a capturing position and a releasing position, a latch device, and a driver. The latch device has a latching state and an unlatching state, is configured to retain the movable grip in the capturing position when the latch device is in the latching state, and is configured to permit movement of the movable grip from the capturing position to the releasing position when in the unlatching state. The driver is operable to transition the latch device from the latching state to the unlatching state.

摘要: A fluid distribution system that uses a hovering distribution device and methods for using such a system are provided. In one example, the system may include a reel that provides a hose for the hovering distribution device. The hovering distribution device receives pressurized fluid from the hose, and includes at least one nozzle configured to distribute the pressurized fluid and provide lift for the hovering distribution device using the pressurized fluid. A control system may be configured to execute a fluid distribution plan by controlling at least one of a position and an orientation of the hovering distribution device in a three dimensional space using a direction of the nozzle.
