Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to a method, equipment and computer-readable storage medium for collaborative cargo lifting. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, drone-based logistics and transportation services are becoming increasingly popular. Multi-rotor UAVs, in particular, offer both flexibility and timeliness when transporting goods, enabling them to complete various urban logistics tasks in complex scenarios.

[0003] However, due to the limitations of multi-rotor drone battery power and urban transportation route planning, there are still major issues with battery life.

[0004] To solve this problem, the existing solution is to use a transfer station for transit transportation. First, the drone lands at the transfer station and is handed over to another drone at the transfer station for relay transportation. Second, the drone lands at the transfer station, and the transfer station replaces its battery and then performs relay transportation itself.

[0005] It can be seen that both of the above methods require multi-rotor drones to dock at specific transfer stations, which to a certain extent loses the flexibility and timeliness of multi-rotor drone logistics.

[0006] To sum up, how to improve the efficiency of cargo relay transportation by unmanned aerial vehicles has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention
