Abstract: There is provided a flight management system for managing a flight plan of flying objects that fly among ports.

Abstract: Provided are a flight control device, a flight control method, and the like for measuring the distance between the body of an aircraft and a target element during flight and controlling the distance in accordance with the measured value. This unmanned aircraft flight control device comprises: a distance sensor for measuring the distance between a target element and an unmanned aircraft that flies by control using an external input signal and/or pre-generated flight plan information, the distance sensor comprising an imaging camera that captures the target element, and a measured value determination circuit that determines a measured value of the distance using the captured image information; and a control signal generation circuit that generates a control signal for controlling the distance between the target element and the unmanned aircraft during flight, in accordance with the distance measurement value measured by the distance sensor.

Abstract: Improved localization processing for an unmanned aerial vehicle is provided. The foregoing problem is solved by a localization device for an unmanned aerial vehicle including a light source for irradiating a target object around the unmanned aerial vehicle, a light-collecting sensor for acquiring reflected light from the target object as image data, and a localization unit for estimating a relative position of the unmanned aerial vehicle to the target object using the image data acquired by the light-collecting sensor, wherein the light source includes a laser for emitting light distinguishable from ambient light, and a diffuser for diffusing the light from the laser, and the light-collecting sensor is configured to sense light distinguishable from ambient light with respect to reflected light from the target object.

Abstract: Provided is an unmanned aircraft that is used to quickly and accurately specify a target location and operate a specific mechanism having a predetermined function at the target location. An unmanned aircraft 100 refers to a target location marker pattern 120d3 representing an appearance of a target location marker 161 disposed to have a predetermined relative position relationship with the target location, detects an image portion corresponding to the target location marker 161 from an image obtained by a camera 106 that obtains the image below the unmanned aircraft 100, and is guided directly above the target location, based on the image portion, where the specific mechanism is operated.

Abstract: There is provided a flight management system for managing a flight plan of flying objects that fly among ports.

Abstract: A heavy-weight object such as a motor is installed separately from a movable portion to reduce the weight of the movable portion. The invention includes a support unit, a movable unit to which equipment is attached, and a drive unit interposed between the support unit and the movable unit. The movable unit has a first rotating member rotatably attached to the support unit about a first rotation axis line and a second rotating member rotatably attached to the first rotating member about a second rotation axis line orthogonal to the first rotation axis line. The support unit is provided with paired first brackets positioned so as to sandwich the first rotating member, and these first brackets are each provided with a first shaft configuring the first rotation axis line.
