The present invention relates to an atmospheric environment-improving drone having life-saving and advertising functions, and more specifically, to a drone configured to move while hovering in the air, the drone comprising: a drone body; and a hovering transport unit for hovering the drone body in the air and moving same. The drone body is provided with a water spray means for purifying the air by adsorbing dust and fine dust in the air. The water spray means includes: support shafts, each of which has one end fixed on the outer surface of the drone body; spray liquid supply pipes fixed to lower portions of the support shafts; and spray liquid spraying nozzles formed at regular intervals on the purified liquid supply pipes. Since the drone configured to move while hovering in the air is used to spray water from the air, the drone can spray a wider area than ground-based water spray devices, thus having the effect of improving the purification efficiency for contaminants or fine dust in the air. Moreover, the drone has an advertising function, and thus can also achieve an advertising effect.

An aerial light show system includes aerial vehicles configured to move along paths consisting of positions while emitting light beams to present an aerial light show of a virtual 3D scene. Each aerial vehicle includes a light source configured to project multiple light beams in multiple specified directions, respectively, wherein the brightness and/or color of each of the multiple light beams is independently controllable. The aerial light show system includes a control system configured to control the movement of the aerial vehicles, to modify the brightness and/or color of (e.g., dim or turn off) a light beam of each aerial vehicle at each position projected in a specified direction that is occluded by the virtual 3D scene, and to not modify the brightness and/or color of a light beam of each aerial vehicle at each position projected in a specified direction that is not occluded by the virtual 3D scene.

Disclosed is a drone trailer system and associated methods. The system includes a control section, which maneuvers the drone, and a utility section, which may serve one or more functions. The utility section may be connected to an articulated joint, which may be connected to the control section. The articulated joint may be detachably or fixedly connected to the control section. The payload of the utility section may include an electronic sign, a printed sign, a solar panel, or a camera. A stabilization device may stabilize the utility section's movement relative to the utility section. Further, the stabilization device may allow a user to orient the utility section relative to the control section in two or more orientations. The articulated joint may allow the control section to pitch and roll, or, alternatively, pitch, roll, and yaw relative to the utility section.

A rotary aircraft includes a cover, a driving shaft in the cover, an electric control board on the cover, and a flight assembly mounted on the driving shaft and coupled electrically with the electrical control board, a driving assemble mounted on the flight assembly and coupled electrically with the electrical control board, connected with the driving shaft and driving it to rotate so as to rotate the cover, and a light bar mounted on the cover and coupled electrically with the electrical control board, used for displaying a presetting pattern or text, which achieves enlightening education and improves enjoyment of the flight toy and satisfies the demands of the users.

Systems and methods for providing UAV-based digital escort drones in visitor management and access control systems are provided. A visitor management and access control system can identify a need for escorting a visitor through the region and transmit a signal to a drone that identifies a starting location and a destination location in the region. Responsive to receiving the signal, the drone can escort the visitor along a path from the starting location to the destination location, and an access privilege device carried by the drone can open a secured door or access a secured area along the path.

An unmanned aerial system (UAS) may comprise an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configured to search and recover persons and things, collect and produce data of an emergency situation for display on a vehicle navigation system, or explore for natural resources. The UAS may include a landing pad, and/or a sensor such as a ground penetrating sensor configured to search for a person trapped underground. The UAS may be configured to receive data from the one or more sensors. An analyzer may be used to assess surrounding environment and the status of the person or thing, and send a signal to the UAV. The components attached to the UAV may include connectors, a robotic arm, a sensor, and/or a portable power source. The UAS may be configured to, for example, detect an emergency situation and determine the nature and location of the emergency situation. The UAS may be configured to explore for oil, gas, and mineral sources, and/or excavate location using a robotic arm.

An unmanned aircraft system (UAS) making use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for more than one task. The inventors discovered that an improved UAS could be provided by combining one or more of these three elements: (1) hot-swappable modular kits (e.g., a plurality of components useful in UAVs to perform particular user-selectable tasks); (2) an interconnection mechanism for each component with identification protocols that provides both a physical and a data connection; and (3) an intelligent system that interprets the identification protocols and determines the configuration for a selected task, error checking, airworthiness, and calibration. The system and associated methods for the task based drone configuration and verification reduces the possibility of task failure by an operator.
