Abstract: An agricultural chemical spraying drone with improved safety is provided. The drone includes an altitude measurement sensor and a speed measurement sensor and controls not to exceed an altitude restriction and a speed restriction of an airframe by using a flight controller. The sensors are desirable be combination of multiple types. Particularly, the altitude is desirably measured by a GPS during take-off and by a sonar during chemical spraying. Weight of the airframe is measured from time to time, and the altitude restriction and the speed restriction may be adjusted according to the weight.

Abstract: A drone (an aerial vehicle), able to maintain improved safety for operation by non-specialists, is provided. A farm field data stored in a cloud at take-off is compared to an environment data read by a sensor, and a control to prohibit take-off is performed if any danger is considered. In particular, it is desirable to prohibit if there is a traffic, where people and cars may pass, between the farm field and a current location, and if a direction of the drone, installed, does not point to a direction of an intrusion pathway to the target farm field. Furthermore, it is desirable to prohibit take-off if a predetermined maintenance is not performed by referring to a maintenance history.

Abstract: In a battery mounting unit to/from which a battery device is attachable and detachable, a configuration that enables easy attachment and detachment of the battery device having various shapes is obtained. A battery mounting unit 1 includes: connection terminals 13 configured to fit to external terminals 110 of a battery device 3 and having a shape along which the external terminals 110 are slidable at least in one direction; and a lever 30 rotatable about a fulcrum and located at a side at which the connection terminals 13 are located when seen from the battery device 3 in a state where the external terminals 110 are fitted to the connection terminals 13. The external terminals 110 are configured to be elastically deformable to fit to the connection terminals 13 by sandwiching the connection terminals 13 therein. A lever 30 is configured such that action parts 32 apply a force of causing the battery device 3 to slide in a direction in which fitting between the external terminals 110 and the connection terminals 13 is canceled when the lever 30 rotates about the fulcrum by a force applied to a gripper 35.
