Provided is an unmanned aircraft that is used to quickly and accurately specify a target location and operate a specific mechanism having a predetermined function at the target location. An unmanned aircraft 100 refers to a target location marker pattern 120d3 representing an appearance of a target location marker 161 disposed to have a predetermined relative position relationship with the target location, detects an image portion corresponding to the target location marker 161 from an image obtained by a camera 106 that obtains the image below the unmanned aircraft 100, and is guided directly above the target location, based on the image portion, where the specific mechanism is operated.

A guidance device 120 is provided with a processing device 124 that generates a control signal to control a propulsion device 110 of a flying object 100 and a communication device 121 that transmits the control signal to the propulsion device 110. The processing device 124 generates a patrol control signal to control the propulsion device 110 so that the flying object 100 flies along a first patrol path and generates, based on information of a moving object that the flying object 100 is to intercept, an interception control signal to control the propulsion device 110 so that the flying object 100 flies toward the moving object. In addition, the processing device 124 generates, when generating the interception control signal, a notification signal to notify that the flying object 100 flies toward the moving object.

Embodiments of the disclosure disclose a method and an apparatus for tracking a moving target and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method includes: identifying and locking a moving target; and adjusting a moving state of the unmanned aerial vehicle and/or parameters of the photographing device according to a moving state of the moving target, so that the moving target is always located on a display screen of a control terminal. A method and an apparatus for tracking a moving target and an unmanned aerial vehicle provided in the disclosure can adjust the moving state of the unmanned aerial vehicle and/or the parameters of the photographing device in real time according to the moving state of the moving target and can ensure that the moving target in a preset size is always located on the display screen of the control terminal.

An unmanned aerial vehicle is described and includes a computer carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle to control flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle and at least one sensor. The unmanned aerial vehicle is caused to fly to a specific location within a facility, where the unmanned aerial vehicle enters a hover mode, where the unmanned aerial vehicle remains in a substantially fixed location hovering over the specific location within the facility and sends raw or processing results of sensor data from the sensor to a remote server system.

A shopping guiding with robot assistance. A shopping list (115) of a customer (105) is obtained, wherein the shopping list (115) comprises a plurality of commodities to be picked up. Further, a first set of commodities (125) are determined from the plurality of commodities based on predicted picking up costs for the plurality of commodities, and at least one robot (130) are assigned for automatically picking up the first set of commodities (125). As such, at least one robot (130) may be assigned for picking up commodities with a relative high picking up cost, thereby increasing the efficiency for shopping and decreasing the safety risks.

An autonomous inspection solution includes: a UAV having a navigation component and a first inspection sensor suite. The navigation component is configured to: autonomously deploy the UAV from a support vehicle; fly a first route at an inspection site, based at least upon a sensor type of the first inspection sensor suite; and autonomously return to the support vehicle upon completion of assigned inspections. In some examples, the first inspection sensor suite includes an optical camera, a thermal imaging sensor, an RF sensor, or an inventory management sensor, and a second inspection sensor suite has at least one different sensor than the first inspection sensor suite. The navigation component is further configured navigate the UAV to fly a second route, based at least upon a sensor type of the second inspection sensor suite. A data component stores or wirelessly transmits data received from the affixed inspection sensor suites.
