Abstract: This disclosure provides a monitoring system, a base station, and a control method of drones. The drone includes a battery that supplies electric power for the drone and that connects with a charging connector. The base station includes a charging device, and the charging device includes a power supply connector, a power supply, and a power controller. The power supply connector is used for connecting to the charging connector. The power supply provides electric power. The power controller is coupled to the power supply and the power supply connector. The power controller is used to determine the battery specification of the battery and charge the battery from the power supply according to the battery specification. Thereby, the charging efficiency can be improved and the charging abnormality can be avoided.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a power supply control method and a monitor system capable of executing the power supply control method. The monitor system includes a base station, an image capture apparatus, and a processor. The base station includes a charging apparatus including a power supply connector and a power source coupled to the power supply connector and outputting power through the power supply connector. The image capture apparatus shoots the power supply connector to obtain a shot image. The processor determines a foreign object distribution on the power supply connector according to the shot image and sends a warning message according to the foreign object distribution. The foreign object distribution relates to foreign objects formed on the power supply connector. Accordingly, whether a charging mechanism fails can be automatically determined and notification and/or compensation may be performed when the charging mechanism fails.

Abstract: A rotating apparatus includes a rotating assembly and a position-limiting assembly. The rotating assembly includes a driving unit and at least one rotating component. The driving unit is adapted to drive the rotating component to rotate with a first axis. The position-limiting assembly includes a position-limiting component, at least one first column, and a buckling component. The position-limiting assembly is disposed on the rotating assembly and is adapted to limit a position of the rotating component. The first column is connected to the position-limiting component. The position-limiting component is located between the rotating component and the buckling component and is able to move along the first axis. The buckling component is movably disposed on the position-limiting component and has at least one buckling portion. The buckling portion is adapted to be buckled to the first column or move away from the first column.

Abstract: A flight device including a device main body and a plurality of lift force providing modules is provided. The lift force providing modules are connected to the device main body. Each of the lift force providing modules includes two propellers, and each of the propellers rotates to lift the device main body. Two propellers of each of the lift force providing modules may rotate around the same rotation axis. The flight device has an enhanced lift force and good efficiency in lifting, and the flight device has a reduced device volume and improved flight reliability.

Abstract: A charge device for a drone includes a base and a covering mechanism. The base has a charge portion. The covering mechanism includes two covers, two first position-limiting components and two second position-limiting components. The two covers are movably disposed on the base. The covers are adapted to move toward each other to become a closed state and cover the charge portion, and the covers are adapted to move away from each other to become an expanded state and expose the charge portion. The first position-limiting components are connected to the covers respectively. Each of the second position-limiting components is connected between the covers. When the covers are in the closed state, the first position-limiting components and the second position-limiting components are located above the charge portion. When the covers are in the expanded state, the first position-limiting components and the second position-limiting components are away from the charge portion.

Abstract: A method and a system for spatial static map construction are provided. In the method, a three-dimensional space is scanned by using a LiDAR sensor to generate a LiDAR frame including multiple points in the three-dimensional space in a time sequence. As for each point in the LiDAR frame, a corresponding point closest to the point is found from a static map built according to the three-dimensional space, and a distance from the corresponding point is calculated. The point is labelled as a dynamic point if the distance is greater than a threshold, and otherwise labelled as a static point. Each labelled dynamic point is compared with points in N LiDAR frames generated before the time sequence, and corrected as a static point if included in the N LiDAR frames. The dynamic points in the LiDAR frame are removed, and each static point is updated to the static map.
