More Information
Summary:This disclosure describes a ground station configured to facilitate the delivery of payloads using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The ground station includes multiple sensors that allow for autonomous operation of the ground station as part of a larger payload transportation system. The sensors are configured to confirm loading of payloads onto a UAV, checking a status and safety of the drone and clearing an area surrounding the ground station prior to takeoff and/or landing operations of the UAV. La présente invention concerne une station au sol configurée pour faciliter la distribution de charges utiles à l'aide d'un engin volant sans pilote embarqué (UAV). La station au sol comprend de multiples capteurs qui permettent un fonctionnement autonome de la station au sol en tant que partie d'un système de transport de charges utiles plus grand. Les capteurs sont configurés pour confirmer le chargement de charges utiles sur un UAV, en vérifiant un état et une sécurité du drone et en dégageant une zone entourant la station au sol avant les opérations de décollage et/ou d'atterrissage de l'UAV.
