Abstract

See full text

A method for stabilizing drones performing a mid-air package transfer. One or more processors detecting the proximity of a second drone to a first drone. Interference of air pressure between rotors of the first drone and rotors of the second drone is detected by data from sensors included on the first and second drone. Positions of the rotors of the first drone are adjusted by moving rotor arms in a first direction and the rotors of the second drone are adjusted by moving rotor arms of the second drone in a second direction that increases separation between the rotors of the first drone and the second drone, and the amount of separation is based on reduced interference of air pressure between rotors of the first and second drone. Responsive to determining completion of a package transfer, the positions of the rotors are adjusted to original positions.
