摘要： The present invention relates to a system and a method for mobile landing of an unmanned vehicle. The method includes: detecting a landing target pattern by a three-dimensional sensing module and transmitting the landing target pattern to a calculation module, the landing target being a moving object; calculating, by the calculation module, a relative correction parameter of a guiding coordinate position of a return side relative to a coordinate position of the unmanned vehicle according to the landing target pattern and the guiding coordinate position of the return side; correcting, by the calculation module, the guiding coordinate position of the return side according to the relative correction parameter to obtain a corrected guiding coordinate position; then calculating, by the calculation module, a deviation value between the corrected guiding coordinate position and the coordinate position of the unmanned vehicle, and transmitting the deviation value to the vehicle side control module, and controlling, by the vehicle side control module, the unmanned vehicle to arrive at the return side according to the deviation value. The present invention thereby achieves a precise dynamic target landing.

摘要： A takeoff and landing platform, a UAV, a takeoff and landing system, a storage device and a takeoff and landing control method are provided. The takeoff and landing platform includes: a bracket, one end of the bracket is fixed on a base, and another end thereof extends in a direction away from the base, and the bracket is provided with a vertical guide rail. Multiple UAVs may be vertically stacked on the bracket along the guide rail and take off from the bracket. Hence, the manpower investment and site investment are reduced for multiple UAVs to perform collaborative operations. It can not only reduce the cost of multiple UAV collaborative operations, but also improve the efficiency of multiple UAV collaborative operations.

摘要： A smart landing pad comprises a flexible display that shows images or patterns, and a protective layer over the display. The protective layer allows a UAV to land without damaging the display. Locator and range finder devices, coupled to the display, communicate with the UAV. The display is operative for wireless communications with a computer or mobile device that provides on-demand user functions, allowing for dynamically changing or customizing the images/patterns shown on the display. The images/patterns comprise a background area showing changeable images that match an environment where the landing pad is placed, and a target landing area surrounded by the background area. The target landing area includes a changeable insensitive, contrast portion, and changeable marker pattern portions having changeable colors/shapes. The images/patterns also include changeable QR codes on the target landing area. The display is IoT enabled so that data from the landing pad is remotely cloud accessible.
