A multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle ("UAV") is provided, including a method of operating it such that it can park on a surface in an environment without additional equipment, thereby saving energy. The UAV has a frame supporting at least four variable speed reversible motors spaced about the frame. Each motor drives a propeller arranged to hover the frame. A sensor is disposed on the UAV for detecting a distance between the UAV and a target surface. A computer is provided for executing software modules to control operation of the motor to cause the UAV to perform flight actions including at least: (a) approaching a target surface, (b) using a "ceiling effect" to contact the target surface to park on the surface and reduce energy consumption of the UAV, and (c) disengaging from the target surface.
提供了一种多旋翼无人飞行器(“UAV”),包括操作它的方法,使得它可以在没有附加设备的情况下停驻在环境中的表面上,从而节省能量。UAV具有框架,该框架支撑围绕框架间隔开的至少四个变速可逆马达。每个马达驱动螺旋桨,所述螺旋桨设置为使框架悬停。传感器设置在UAV上,用于检测UAV和目标表面之间的距离。提供计算机用于执行软件模块,以便控制马达的运行,以使UAV执行飞行动作,包括至少:(a)接近目标表面,(b)使用“天花板效应”来接触目标表面,以便停驻在表面上并减少UAV的能量消耗,以及(c)从目标表面脱离。
