A drone delivery system provides to send or to receive the package conveniently and safely without going out of the building by using the platform installed at the vicinity of the window. The drone delivery system includes the drone having a first docking device, a standard box having a second docking device corresponding to the first docking device and a third docking device and a platform having a fourth docking device corresponding to the third docking device.

The invention is designed for the organization of landing of unmanned vertical take-off and landing aerial vehicles (UAV VTOL) on the landing platform of a ground station, (including) for the purposes of automatic servicing their payloads and/or energy sources after landing. Due to the invention, it is provided correct position and alignment relative to the landing platform of unmanned aerial vehicle with three main landing legs on a flat horizontal landing platform, by providing rotation in opposite directions of two flat centering discs mounted on the platform with a protruding counter-direction spiral guide on each disk.

A station recognition and a landing method are disclosed. More specifically, an unmanned aerial robot includes a camera sensor configured to capture a first pattern that is marked on a station cover and is used for a station identification and a second pattern that is marked inside a station and is used for a precision landing; a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and a processor functionally connected to the camera sensor and the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to determine a landing station for landing based on the first pattern captured by the camera sensor, control the transceiver to transmit a radio signal that indicates the landing station to open the station cover, and perform the precision landing at the landing station based on the second pattern of the landing station.

Provided is a system including a platform to receive unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) thereon for launching and retrieving the UAVs. The system can include a pair of gantry arms that move to any location along the platform to position a UAV as desired. The platform includes a door that can open to expose a storage area in the system to receive and store UAVs, as well as to re-charge power in the UAVs. The storage area can include a plurality of cells that can be adjusted to receive a UAV of any size for storage therein.

A UAV location management method for use with a flight management system is provided, where the method comprises providing a location for at least one unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for at least one of: landing, taking-off and loading, providing at least a first weight-sensitive UAV pad at the UAV location, assigning a gross weight limit to each UAV scheduled to take-off from the first weight-sensitive UAV pad, the gross weight limit being based on a safety factor and at least one of: (i) a characteristic of the UAV; (ii) a characteristic of a power source of the UAV; (iii) a scheduled flight path for the UAV; and (iv) a weather condition, monitoring a weight exerted on the first weight-sensitive UAV pad when the UAV is positioned on the UAV pad, and transmitting a halt-flight signal to the flight management system for the UAV where the weight exceeds the gross weight limit.

A drone station according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: a roof allowing a drone to land thereon; a side wall formed to be erected around all sides of the roof from the lower side of the roof; a nozzle which is formed at an edge at which the roof and the side wall meet each other, and sprays an air current upward; a grill formed on the side wall to allow external air to be introduced thereinto; a guide panel disposed inside the grill to guide fluid flow so that fluid flows from the grill to the nozzle; and a rotor disposed inside the guide panel to move fluid from the grill side to the nozzle side through a rotating operation.

The invention relates to a landing zone arrangement (1) for aircraft (19), in particular aircraft capable of vertical take-off, said arrangement comprising: a plurality of segments (3) which together form a landing zone in an operating state; a storage space (2) in which the plurality of segments (3) are at least partially stowable in a stored state; and a base (5) with a rotatable rotor element (4) in order to rotate the plurality of segments (3) for transfer into the operating state and/or into the stored state. In order to create a landing zone arrangement which allows a lighter technical design, the invention provides that at least individual segments of the plurality of segments (3) are secured removably to the rotor element (4), and a securing unit (8) of the landing zone arrangement (1) is designed to fasten the removable segments (3) to the rotor element (4) for transfer into the operating state and to release this fastening for transfer into the stored state. A lifting unit (9) is provided, which has one or more lifting elements (10) arranged in or on the storage space (2) in order to move the removable segments (3) in the direction of the rotor element (4) when transferring into the operating state.

The present invention relates to a system that can to capture, retain, and release a small UAV/drone. Exemplary embodiments include a plurality of capture mechanisms each include a capture arm coupled to an actuator. The capture mechanism can include two pivot points, one of which can move along a track or groove, to allow the capture arm to extend and retract while maintaining a small combined circumference during UAV landing while still being able to extend to engage with a retention ring on the UAV.

A charging and recharging drone assembly system and apparatus are provided. The system has a unique charging pad having a plurality of cones which direct the legs of a charging drone into a specific location on the charging pad for charging/re-charging. A QR code may be located in the middle of a cover of a charging pad so that the charging drone may detect the charging pad from the air and may direct the charging drone to land on a specific spot on the landing pad for charging. The movable cover may cover the charging pad when the charging pad is not in use to protect the charging pad.
