AERIAL VEHICLE, AND CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS OF AERIAL VEHICLE
An aerial vehicle control method includes controlling an aerial vehicle to follow a movable platform to move based on an image of the movable platform collected by a visual sensor carried by the aerial vehicle, in a process of following the movable platform to move, controlling the aerial vehicle to move to a right side of the movable platform in response to an obstacle existing on a left front side of a moving direction of the movable platform, and in the process of following the movable platform to move, controlling the aerial vehicle to move to a left side of the movable platform in response to an obstacle existing on a right front side of the moving direction of the movable platform.
System and method for mobile landing of unmanned vehicle
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.
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DRONE INTERACTION WITH MOVING PLATFORM
Methods and apparatus to create and perform drone displays are disclosed. An example drone display may include one or more drones that launch from a movable platform, land on a movable platform, or both. The drone display may follow the movable platform to provide a display to an audience that is moving with the movable platform, or that is stationary and watching as one or more movable platforms travel through an area.
Systems and methods for UAV docking
A method includes obtaining, by a vehicle, data from a movable object, generating information for display at the vehicle based at least in part on the data, and causing movement of the vehicle based at least in part on the displayed information. The data is collected by one or more sensors of the movable object. The vehicle is configured to provide one or more services to the movable object.
LANDING AN AUTONOMOUS DRONE WITH GESTURES
Systems, computer readable medium and methods for landing an autonomous drone with gestures are disclosed. Example methods include lifting off the autonomous drone in response to an instruction from a person, receiving sensor data, and processing the sensor data to identify a gesture from the person that indicates that the autonomous drone is to land. The autonomous drone recognizes a gesture from a person to land where the gesture is based on a physical movement of the person. In response, the autonomous drone navigates to land the autonomous drone. In some examples, the person presents an open palm to the autonomous drone which causes the autonomous drone to fly to and land on the open palm. In some examples, the person places a hand under the autonomous drone which causes the autonomous drone to land. In some examples, the autonomous drone responds to the person that launched the autonomous drone.
