To provide, for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that may be used to transport packages substantially autonomously, the use of special procedures and/or apparatuses to ensure the safety of a human user when the UAV is intended to interact with an untrained human user such as an end recipient of a delivered package.SOLUTION: A payload engagement system (100) includes a vehicle supported portion (102) and a payload mounted portion (104), one of which includes an insert component (110), and the other of which includes a receptor component (150). The payload engagement system (100) is configured to transition between a disengaged configuration and an engaged configuration via rotation of the insert component (110) with respect to the receptor component (150). In the engaged configuration, the receptor component (150) receives the insert component (110) such that the insert component (110) is rotationally constrained within the receptor component (150).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

    【課題】無人航空輸送体(UAV)は、実質的に自律的に荷物を搬送するために使用され得る。配達された荷物の最終的な受取人などの、訓練されていない人間とUAVがやりとりするようになっているときに、人間のユーザの安全を確保するための特別な手順及び/又は装置の使用を提供する。【解決手段】ペイロード係合システム(100)は、輸送体支持部分(102)とペイロード取付部分(104)を含む。それらのうちの一方は、挿入構成要素(110)を含み、それらのうちの他方は、受容構成要素(150)を含む。ペイロード係合システム(100)は、挿入構成要素(110)の受容構成要素(150)に対する回転を介して、係合解除構成と係合構成との間で移行するように構成されている。係合構成では、挿入構成要素(110)が、受容構成要素(150)内で回転を抑制されるように、受容構成要素(150)が、挿入構成要素(110)を受容する。【選択図】図2
