Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, after the autonomous landing protection technology equipped with the UAV detects that there is a dangerous area in the area to be landed, it can only fly away or hover in the area to be landed in the dangerous area, and cannot avoid the dangerous area in the area to be landed. For low-battery drones, it is easy to cause the drone to crash after the battery is exhausted

Embodiment 1

[0111] see figure 1 , is an unmanned aerial vehicle 100 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, including a fuselage 10, an arm 20, a power unit 30, a depth sensor 40, a landing gear 50, and a flight control system (not shown). The arm 20 , the depth sensor 40 and the landing gear 50 are all connected to the fuselage 10 , the flight control system is arranged in the fuselage 10 , and the power unit 30 is arranged on the arm 20 . Among them, the power unit 30, the depth sensor 40 and the landing gear 50 are all connected to the flight control system in communication, so that the flight control system can control the flight of the UAV 100 through the power unit 30, and can obtain the status of the UAV 100 through the depth sensor 40. The point cloud distribution map of the landing area can also control the contact between the landing gear 50 and the ground.

[0112] Preferably, the number of arms 20 is four, which are evenly distributed around the fuselage 10 for c...

Embodiment 2

[0161] see figure 2 , is a schematic flow chart of a UAV landing and obstacle avoidance method provided by one embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to a UAV, the UAV is the UAV 100 described in the above embodiment, and the implementation of the present invention The method provided by the example is executed by the above-mentioned flight control system, and is used to avoid obstacles in the area to be landed and reduce the risk of the UAV crashing. The UAV landing obstacle avoidance method includes:

[0162] S100: Obtain a point cloud distribution map of the area to be landed.

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle control, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle landing obstacle avoidance method and device, and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle landing obstacle avoidance method comprises the following steps that: obtaining the point cloud distribution diagram of an area to be landed; accordingto the point cloud distribution diagram, determining a safe area in the area to be landed; in the safe area, determining a target position; and controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to move to thetarget position to enable the unmanned aerial vehicle to be far away from an obstacle in the area to be landed. Through the above way, the embodiment of the invention can evade the obstacle in the area to be landed so as to reduce a risk that the unmanned aerial vehicle crashes.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of UAV control technology, in particular to a method and device for UAV landing and obstacle avoidance, and the UAV. Background technique [0002] A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle operated by a radio remote control device or its own program control device. With the development of UAV-related technologies and the complex changes in its application scenarios, more and more safety problems occur during the flight of UAVs. Therefore, UAVs are equipped with autonomous landing protection technology to prevent unmanned The plane crashed when it landed in an unknown environment. [0003] At present, after the autonomous landing protection technology equipped with the UAV detects that there is a dangerous area in the area to be landed, it can only fly away or hover in the area to be landed in the dangerous area, and cannot avoid the dangerous area in the area to be landed. For low-power drones, it ...
