The invention discloses a robotic airship system capable of locking a target area for observation based on autonomous navigation. The system is arranged over the target area via GPS autonomous navigation, and through the remote control of the airship and the identification and analysis of images by the self-control, image acquisition, and ground monitoring terminals of the airship, a high-db calling unit is triggered, the functions of low-altitude ultra-high definition image snapshot and returning of the image to a ground monitoring terminal can be achieved, and the supervision of the target area can be realized. Through the adoption of a multi-stage linkage control method integrating the airship, a holder, optical zooming, and digital image stabilization, the target area is locked in the center of a monitored frame, so that the continuous monitoring function of the target area is realized, and the influence to the stability of the monitored frame caused by the cross-ventilation and engine jitter can be eliminated. The robotic airship system has the characteristics of high practicality, convenient use, reliable and stable system operation, low energy consumption, and high supervision degree, and is particularly suitable for the cruising and supervision of a key target area.
