A marine drone system utilizing an unmanned aerial vehicle to provide visual feedback for conditions including temperature, depth, and conditions which may suggest favorable fishing conditions, such as weed lines, flotsam, breaks, and objects, such as birds or fish. The system utilizes a plurality of sensors, including, but not limited to, cameras, laser, GPS, radar, and LIDAR. The visual feedback may be shown as a video fees or a map, wherein the feedback is shown as a visual backgrounds, wherein an overlay of interactive functions provides information regarding the conditions. The system also includes method steps for implementing, obtaining, and displaying the information. The system hardware includes the unmanned aerial vehicle, a base station, and a hardwired tether between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the base station providing power and bi-directional data transfer.

Landing pads for a drone. One of the landing pads can include a landing area with a first surface configured to receive a second surface of a landing gear of a drone; a docking area i) with a first end adjacent to the landing area and a second opposite end and ii) a docking surface configured to contact the second surface of the landing gear of the drone; a fixed member i) with a third surface adjacent to the second end of the docking area and ii) configured to contact an end of the landing gear of the drone; a moveable member configured to i) move the landing gear across the first surface of the landing area onto the docking surface and ii) secure the landing gear of the drone in place between the docking surface of the docking area and the third surface of the fixed member.

Heating a battery and cooling an electric power conversion device are achieved together. This mobile body includes an electric motor, a battery, a thermoelectric conversion element, an electric power conversion device, and a controller. The electric motor is a driving source. The electric power conversion device is configured to convert electric power outputted from the battery into driving electric power for the electric motor. The electric power conversion device is disposed in direct contact or in indirect contact with the battery with the thermoelectric conversion element interposed therebetween. The controller is configured to control electric power to be supplied to the thermoelectric conversion element. The controller controls, in a case where the battery is in a predetermined low-temperature state, the electric power to be supplied to the thermoelectric conversion element to cause a surface of the thermoelectric conversion element coupled to the battery to serve as a heat dissipation surface.
