AEROSPACE: UAV takes up a lofty perch: Perched landing could lead to UAVs being able to come down in confined spaces

摘要

An unmanned aerial vehicle has carried out a perched landing, controlled by machine-learning algorithm, for the first time. The achievement, by a team at BMT Defence Services and Bristol University, could lead to the development of efficient, morphing-wing UAVs that can land in small or confined spaces, to deliver aid or gather intelligence.
