    摘要： A unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a fuselage including a top, a bottom, a cavity that forms a cargo bay between the top and the bottom, and a lower access opening in the bottom for lowering a payload from the cargo bay. A movable stage is coupled to the fuselage and adjustable between an upper position in which the stage is above the cargo bay and a lower position in which the stage is at the bottom of the fuselage, the stage including an opening extending through the stage. The UAV also includes a winch disposed in the fuselage and a tether coupled to the winch. The winch is configured to be secured to the payload and is movable through the opening in the stage so as to raise or lower the payload.

    摘要： A payload retrieval apparatus having an extending member having an upper end and a lower end, a channel having a first end and a second end and first and second inner edges defining a tether slot therebetween, wherein the tether slot is configured to guide passage of a tether coupled to a payload retriever suspended from a UAV when the payload retriever is passing within the channel, a first tether engager that extends in a first direction from the first end of the channel adapted to guide the tether towards the channel, a payload holder positioned near the second end of the channel that is adapted to secure a payload, wherein the channel includes a first projection that extends from the first edge into the tether slot so as to hinder removal of the tether from exiting the tether slot once the tether has entered the tether slot.

    摘要： A method includes determining, by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a position of an autoloader device for the UAV; based on the determined position of the autoloader device, causing the UAV to follow a descent trajectory in which the UAV moves from a starting position to a first nudged position in order to deploy a tethered pickup component of the UAV to a payout position on an approach side of the autoloader device; deploying the tethered pickup component of the UAV to the payout position; causing the UAV to follow a side-step trajectory in which the UAV moves laterally to a second nudged position in order to cause the tethered pickup component of the UAV to engage the autoloader device; and retracting the tethered pickup component of the UAV to pick up a payload from the autoloader device.
