    摘要: Aspects include a system for transferring a payload between drones. The system includes a first drone having a first member and a first controller, the first member having a first coupling device on one end, the first member being configured to carry a payload, the first controller being configured to change a first altitude and orientation of the first drone. A second drone includes a second member and controller, the second member having a second coupling device on one end, the second member being configured to receive the payload, the second controller being configured to change a second altitude and orientation of the second drone. The controllers cooperate to change at least one of the first and second altitude, and the first and second orientation to operably engage the first coupling device to the second coupling device for transferring the payload from the first member to the second member.

    摘要: Aspects include a system for transferring a payload between drones. The system includes a first aerial drone having a first transfer member and a first controller. The first controller including a processor configured to change a first altitude and first orientation of the first aerial drone. A second aerial drone is provided having a second transfer member and a second controller, the second transfer member having a cone member on one end, the second transfer member being configured to receive the payload. The second controller including a processor configured to change a second altitude and a second orientation of the second aerial drone. The controllers cooperate to dispose the first transfer member within the cone member and transfer the payload from the first aerial drone to the second aerial drone.
