An improved unmanned aerial vehicular system having a rotor head assembly with any balanced number of rotary wings or blades, a generally tubular body assembly, a gimballed neck connecting the head to the body, and a navigation, communications and control unit such as for military and humanitarian operations, including payload delivery and pickup. The vehicle is generally guided using a global positioning satellite signal, and by pre-programmed or real time targeting. The vehicle is generally electrically powered and may be launched by one of (a) hand-launch, (b) air-drop, (c) catapult, (d) tube-launch, or (e) sea launch, and is capable of landing on both static and dynamic targets. Once launched, unmanned aerial vehicles may be formed into arrays on a target area and find use in surveillance, warfare, and in search-and-rescue operations.

An unmanned flying device including a body; a first blade and at least a second blade; a coupling assembly for coupling the first blade and the at least second blade to the body, wherein the coupling assembly urges the collapsing of the first blade and the at least second blade towards the body; and wherein both the first blade and the at least second blade are rotatable about the body, and wherein the first blade and the at least second blade are deployable away from the body via rotation of the first and the at least second blades about the body.

A spherical drone and a control method thereof relate to a field of drones. The spherical drone includes a main shell defines an accommodating space, an inner support arranged in the accommodating space, a main control board, a power supply, a motor, a fixing shaft, an upper blade and an lower blade rotatably arranged on the fixing shaft, and a first crown gear and a second crown gear arranged on the inner support. Slotted holes are defined on the main shell. The first crown gear and the second crown gear are sleeved on the fixing shaft. The upper blade is fixed on the first crown gear. The lower blade is fixed on the second crown gear. The motor drives the first crown gear and the second crown gear to rotate, so as to simultaneously drive the upper blade and the lower blade to rotate.

A unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a body with plurality of motors, a motor controlling circuit, a microprocessor for controlling the flight state of the UAV, a plurality of motion sensors, and a capacitive touch sensor incorporated into a battery. When the user grasps the UAV by the battery, the touch sensor is activated and the microprocessor alters the flight state of the UAV.

A landing sequence for the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wherein once the landing sequence is initiated, the UAV detects the operator's hand after hovering at an operative height, then the UAV begins a dissent at an operative rate toward the operators hands reducing the lift generated by the UAV until a time where the operator's hand exerts enough pressure on the bottom of the UAV to trigger the UAV to cut all power to the motors thereby landing the UAV in the operator's hand giving the operator the ability to catch the UAV in their hand and not risk landing the UAV in an undesirable location.

An unmanned aerial vehicle is provided, which includes an aerial vehicle body; a camera mounted on the body; a sensor module installed in the body to sense surrounding environment information; a radio communication module installed in the body to perform radio communication with another communication device; at least one processor installed in the body and electrically connected to the camera, the sensor module, and the radio communication module; and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory, during flying of the unmanned aerial vehicle, stores instructions to cause the processor to recognize a user's throwing gesture using the unmanned aerial vehicle, to determine a user direction based on a first motion vector generated by the throwing gesture, to predict a camera direction in a standstill location that is a target point of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the throwing gesture, and to control a photographing direction of the camera.

A UAV and a flying control method thereof that can detect a user grip of the UAV are provided. The UAV and a flying control method thereof can detect a user grip at a first position and can detect release of the user grip at a second position.
