A modular housing structure for housing a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes a plurality of housing segments and a plurality of landing pads. The plurality of housing segments are shaped to mechanically join together to define an interior of the modular housing structure. The individual housing segments have a common structural shape that repeats when assembled to form the modular housing structure. The plurality of landing pads are positioned within the individual housing segments, each of the landing pads sized to physically support and charge a corresponding one of the UAVs.

The present disclosure relates to a method for fixing a flight vehicle during transportation and a MaaS providing method. A method for fixing a battery-driven flight vehicle during transportation that includes fixing the flight vehicle by connecting a predetermined portion of the flight vehicle and a moving body by a wire.

An apparatus for landing and launching unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes a landing pad adapted for receiving the UAVs, a track extending from the landing pad and positioned to engage with the UAVs after the UAVs land on the landing pad, and a charging system positioned to charge the UAVs engaged with the track. The track is adapted to guide or carry the UAVs along the track from the landing pad.

A drone port has a set of autonomous transport robots (or rovers) that can collaborate with each other, are automated and can provide a scalable drone service unit or system within an existing building. The rovers are able to transport or move the drones, such as to and from a landing, take-off or drop-off area. The rovers can transport or move (drone) packages/payloads and load/unload the packages onto, or from, the drones.

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.
