摘要： A reconfigurable system capable of autonomously exchanging material from unmanned vehicles of various types and sizes. The system comprises an environmental enclosure, a landing area, a universal mechanical system to load and unload material from the unmanned vehicle, and a central processor that manages the aforementioned tasks. The landing area may comprise a one or more visible or non-visible markers/emitters capable of generating composite images to assist in landing the unmanned vehicle upon the reconfigurable, autonomous system.

摘要： A method for controlling a landing gear of an aerial vehicle includes determining whether a relative height of the aerial vehicle is greater than a height threshold and, in response to the relative height being not greater than the height threshold and the aerial vehicle having not lowered the landing gear, adjusting the relative height to the height threshold or above, and lowering the landing gear. The relative height is a vertical height of the aerial vehicle with respect to an object, and the height threshold is a safe flight height.

摘要： A method for automated assignment of a staging pad to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes: launching the UAV from a launch location; tracking a drift of the UAV from the launch location; determining a subsequent position of the UAV after the launching based upon geofiducial navigation; calculating an estimated position of the launch location by offsetting the subsequent position by the drift; attempting to match the estimated position to an available staging pad of a plurality of staging pads; and assigning the UAV to the available staging pad when the estimated position successfully matches to the available staging pad.

摘要： The present invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle safety protection technologies, and in particular, to an unmanned aerial vehicle safety protection method and apparatus and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method includes: obtaining ultrasonic information and a flight status of an unmanned aerial vehicle, where the flight status includes a normal flight state and a descending state; and performing safety protection on the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the ultrasonic information and the flight status. The implementation can reduce an occurrence probability that an unmanned aerial vehicle crashes at a high altitude when ultrasound encounters abnormalities to get out of control at the high altitude and fail to descend, rise, move to the left or move to the right and land without slowing down to violently hit the ground, so that the safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle is enhanced, and user experience is improved.

摘要： Provided is a target member for accurately guiding a moving body to a target site. A target member 10 is used when performing control for guiding a moving body 20 to a target site, and the target member 10 is formed by using two or more different feature members 11, 12 that are set such that a shape of a target member image 44 that corresponds to the target member 10 captured by an image capturing unit 21 (an image capturing apparatus) that is mounted in the moving body 20 changes according to a measurement distance that indicates a distance between the target member 10 and the moving body 20.
