    Abstract: A monitoring system and a control method thereof are provided. The monitoring system includes a drone and a base station. The drone includes an IR detector. The base station includes a platform, a moving vehicle, an IR positioner, and a positioning apparatus. The drone is placed on the platform disposed on the moving vehicle. The IR positioner emits an infrared ray. The positioning apparatus includes a movement member and a positioning controller. The movement member is movably disposed on the platform. The positioning controller is coupled to the movement member. The drone moves to the platform according to the infrared ray. When the drone is located on the platform, the positioning controller controls the movement member to push the drone and move the drone to a specific position. Accordingly, the drone can take off or be landed immediately when the base station is moving or remains still.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a battery replacement mechanism configured to pick and place a battery from and in a first accommodation bay. The first accommodation bay is provided with a first latch to hold the battery therein. The battery replacement mechanism includes a multi-axial slide table assembly, a carrier, and a pick-and-place device. The carrier is movably disposed on the multi-axial slide table assembly, and the pick-and-place device is movably disposed on the carrier. The carrier includes a second latch, and the pick-and-place device includes a catching hook. The second latch is configured to release the first latch of the first accommodation bay, so that the battery may enter and exit the first accommodation bay, and the catching hook is connected to the battery and is configured to drag the battery toward and away from the carrier. The disclosure further provides a battery replacement system and a battery replacement method for a UAV.

    Abstract: A rotorcraft includes a body and a plurality of rotary-wing parts. The body has a front-end portion, a rear-end portion, two side portions, and a reference plane passing through the front-end portion, the rear-end portion, and the two side portions. The plurality of rotary-wing parts are disposed to the body. Each of the rotary-wing parts includes at least one blade and a shaft coupled to the at least one blade. The at least one blade is rotated around an axis of the shaft. An angle between the axis of the shaft and a normal line of the reference plane is between 5 and 30 degrees. The rotorcraft can provide additional lift force, to help reduce the weight of the rotorcraft.
