Abstract
A method for controlling a UAV includes: receiving a takeoff control command, where the takeoff control command is used to control the UAV to take off; in response to the takeoff control command, when the UAV is not equipped with the safety protection device, prohibiting the UAV from taking off, and/or when the UAV is equipped with the safety protection device, controlling the UAV to take off. This method enhances the safety and usability of the UAV.
Claims20
An aircraft, comprising:
- a body, comprising one or more propellers;
- at least one storage medium storing at least one set of instructions for controlling the aircraft;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the at least one storage medium and a sensor carried by the body, wherein during operation, the at least one processor executes the at least one set of instructions to cause the aircraft to at least:
- receive a takeoff control instruction,
- in response to receiving the takeoff control instruction, control the sensor to turn toward a direction of the one or more propellers on the aircraft to detect installation of a safety protection device around the one or more propellers on the aircraft, and
- not execute the takeoff control instruction in response to the safety protection device not being installed around the one or more propellers on the aircraft;
- or execute the takeoff control instruction, control, after takeoff, the sensor to turn to a direction that does not face the one or more propellers on the aircraft for detection during flight, and lock the sensor in an angle range, in response to the safety protection device being installed.
