Abstract
A flight system S acquires contact sensing data obtained by a contact sensing of a soil sensor unit 1 embedded in advance in the ground, and determines a flight route for an UAV 2 to execute a predetermined task on the basis of the contact sensing data.
Claims19
flight system comprising:
- an aerial vehicle capable of unmanned flight, the aerial vehicle being configured to execute a predetermined task during flight;
- a contact sensor configured to be embedded in ground in advance and perform contact sensing of at least one sensing target of soil or a plant;
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and at least one processor configured to access the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including determination code configured to cause at least one processor to determine, on the basis of contact sensing data obtained by the contact sensing performed by the contact sensor, a flight route for the aerial vehicle to execute the predetermined task.
