    Abstract: A drone includes a drone main body and a parachute module. The parachute module includes a base, a housing, an inflatable material, a parachute, and an inflating device. The base is disposed on the drone main body. The housing covers the base to form a containing space therebetween. The inflatable material is disposed on the base and furled in the containing space. The parachute is connected to the inflatable material and the housing and is furled in the containing space. The inflating device is disposed on the base and connected to the inflatable material. When the inflating device inflates the inflatable material, the inflatable material expands and strikes the housing, so that the housing is separated from the drone main body, so as to increase a distance between the parachute and the drone main body and deploy the parachute. In addition, a control method of the drone is also provided.

    Abstract: A charging station, a charging system and a charging method for a drone are provided. The charging station adapted to park a drone for charging includes a parking ramp, a pair of charging plates, a pair of protecting covers, and at least one actuating device. The parking ramp has a parking surface and a bottom surface. The drone is parked on the parking surface having at least two openings. The charging plates are fixed to the bottom surface. The protecting covers are disposed between the bottom surface of the parking ramp and the charging plates. The protecting covers cover the charging plates at the openings. The actuating device is fixed to the bottom surface and connected to the protecting covers. When the drone stands still on the parking surface, the actuating device drives the protective covers to move relative to the charging plates to expose the charging plates.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle and a landing method for unmanned aerial vehicle are provided. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes a positioning device and a processor. When the processor detects a fight status of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the processor obtains a current coordinate from the positioning device. According to the current coordinate, a predetermined route, and a plurality of emergency landing coordinates, the processor calculates a plurality of distances for the unmanned aerial vehicle moving from the current coordinate to each of the emergency landing coordinates along the predetermined route. According to a shortest distance among the plurality of distances, the processor obtains a target emergency landing coordinate. The processor controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to move to the target emergency landing coordinate along the predetermined route.

    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.
