Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) return method and apparatus and a UAV. The method includes: performing real-time fusion to generate velocity information of the UAV; determining, through integrating the velocity information, displacement information of a current location of the UAV relative to a takeoff location; determining a return starting point location of the UAV according to the displacement information; obtaining a return instruction, and determining a return mode; and controlling, according to the return mode, the UAV to return from the return starting point location to the takeoff location. In the foregoing manner, the present invention resolves the technical problem of poor accuracy that a current UAV returns by relying on GPS location information, and improves the returning accuracy of the UAV.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle and a method for controlling a gimbal thereof. The method for controlling a gimbal includes: generating, by a flight control system, a yaw angular speed instruction of the unmanned aerial vehicle; and controlling, by a gimbal control system, a yaw axis motor of the gimbal according to the yaw angular speed instruction of the unmanned aerial vehicle. In the present invention, the yaw axis motor of the gimbal is jointly controlled by the flight control system and the gimbal control system, so that advantages of high-precision control and quick response of the gimbal control system are maximized. The advantages are used for compensating for deficiencies of the flight control system in yaw control, thereby improving the stability of a yaw channel of the gimbal, and completely resolving frame freezing of an aerial video when the unmanned aerial vehicle yaws at a low speed.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention is an inertial measurement module, including a mount, a circuit board, a thermally conductive member and a cover plate mounted to the mount. The circuit board is mounted to an end surface of the mount, and is configured to mount an inertial measurement assembly and the thermally conductive member. The inertial measurement assembly includes a thermal resistor and an inertial measurement unit. The thermally conductive member is configured to abut against the thermal resistor and the inertial measurement unit. A surface of the cover plate is provided with a first groove. A receiving space is formed by the first groove and the surface of the mount. The circuit board and the thermally conductive member are both received in the receiving space. The thermally conductive member is arranged at a preset distance from a bottom of the first groove.
