摘要： A tilt rotor-based linear multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) structure for crop protection and a control method thereof are provided. The tilt rotor-based linear multi-rotor UAV structure for crop protection includes main lift power structures, tilt power structures, and a main frame structure, where the main frame structure is located in a middle; the main lift power structures are distributed at left and right ends of the main frame structure; and the tilt power structures are symmetrically distributed between the main frame structure and the main lift power structures. A vector power structure is adopted to ensure flexible attitude changes and smoother and more accurate UAV operations, and improve the operation efficiency. Meanwhile, the tilt rotor-based linear multi-rotor UAV structure is adapted to the complex working environment in China's ever-changing terrains.

摘要： An agricultural assistance system includes a sensor in or on an unmanned aerial vehicle to perform sensing of a shape of an agricultural field when the unmanned aerial vehicle flies over the agricultural field, and a line creator configured or programmed to create a planned travel line for automatic operation of an agricultural machine. The line creator is configured or programmed to acquire the shape of the agricultural field obtained by the sensing before the automatic operation of the agricultural machine, and create the planned travel line on a virtual field representing the acquired shape of the agricultural field.
