摘要: A position correcting mechanism sandwiches, from both sides, a horizonal leg portion of a flying vehicle that has landed on a takeoff/landing surface of a stage, and moves the flying vehicle on the takeoff/landing surface to a position along a centerline. A grip mechanism grips a supporting leg portion of the flying vehicle. The flying vehicle is moved toward a securing device provided at an edge part of the stage, and an end portion of the horizontal leg portion is inserted into an insertion hole of an insertion part. The flying vehicle is thereby secured on the takeoff/landing surface.

摘要: A flight controller of a drone calculates a target attitude of the drone on a port based on the result of acquisition by an anemometer. The flight controller of the drone controls each of a plurality of rotors independently, and controls each of the rotors so as to make the drone on the port take a target attitude.

摘要: A landing and docking system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the system comprises two main parts, a docking unit configured to be attached to a UAV and a mating ground base platform. The docking unit has clamping arms that can swing outwardly by hinges that have a spring function, and a downwardly extending cone portion shaped to mate with a corresponding drogue shaped receptacle in the ground platform. The clamping arms comprise inwardly extending hook parts to hold the docking unit in place in the ground base platform. The system preferably comprises a sensor array in the cone, that comprises at least one but preferably at least two or more sensors such as optical lenses and/or other sensors. The system with sensor array thus provides a rugged and sturdy alternative to conventional camera carrying UAVs with gimbal mounted camera.

摘要: A method, apparatus, and system for supplying power during the takeoff and landing of an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) aircraft is disclosed herein. A power supplying method is performed by a power supply system comprising a drone and a hub. The power supplying method includes: determining whether power is required for an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) aircraft to land on the hub using battery information of the UAM aircraft when the UAM aircraft is determined to be in a landing mode; moving the drone from the hub to the UAM aircraft using location information of the UAM aircraft when it is determined that power is additionally required for the UAM aircraft to land on the hub; docking the drone to the UAM aircraft to couple with; and supplying power required for the UAM aircraft to land on the hub to the UAM aircraft by the drone
