This invention describes a specialized base station designed to help a drone land, charge, and transfer data without needing traditional landing gear. The station uses radio signals to guide the drone, instructing it to activate its own downward-pointing lasers and fly a specific pattern. As the drone descends, the station broadcasts precise location data, enabling the drone to maneuver itself into a central cradle for docking, where its booms align by gravity.
Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in drone autonomy and precision navigation systems. Today, the necessary software and sensor integration for such precise, automated docking are far more mature and reliable.
