Aerial vehicles, charging stations and charging systems

1 . An aerial vehicle, comprising:

a battery;

a receiver for wirelessly receiving power to charge the battery;

a plurality of vehicle magnetic levitation modules providing a repelling force between the aerial vehicle and a charging station, wherein the plurality of vehicle magnetic levitation modules generate a magnetic force depression that prevents lateral movement of the aerial vehicle; and

a controller controlling the plurality of vehicle magnetic levitation modules to adjust a level of the repelling force based on at least one parameter of a plurality of parameters indicative of charging efficiency and to control a movement of the aerial vehicle in a vertical direction by the repelling force.

2 . The aerial vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of parameters include a current level of the plurality of vehicle magnetic levitation modules.

3 . The aerial vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller increases or decreases the level of the repelling force such that to maintain the at least one parameter at a predetermined level.

4 . The aerial vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller activates a transmitter of the charging station to transmit power to the receiver when the at least one parameter indicates that the aerial vehicle is approaching the charging station.

5 . A charging station for charging an aerial vehicle, comprising:

a transmitter wirelessly transmitting power to the aerial vehicle;

a plurality of transmitter magnetic levitation modules for providing a repelling force between the aerial vehicle and the charging station, wherein the plurality of transmitter magnetic levitation modules generate a magnetic depression that prevents lateral movement of the aerial vehicle; and

a controller controlling the plurality of transmitter magnetic levitation modules to adjust a level of the repelling force based on at least one parameter of a plurality of parameters indicative of charging efficiency and to control a movement of the aerial vehicle in a vertical direction by the repelling force.

6 . The charging station of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of parameters include a current level of the plurality of transmitter magnetic levitation modules.

7 . The charging station of claim 5 , wherein the controller increases or decreases the level of the repelling force such that to maintain the at least one parameter at a predetermined level.

8 . The charging station of claim 5 , wherein the controller activates the transmitter to transmit the power to the aerial vehicle when the at least one parameter indicates that the aerial vehicle is approaching the charging station.

9 . A system for charging an aerial vehicle, comprising:

the aerial vehicle comprising:

a battery; and

a receiver for wirelessly receiving power to charge the battery;

a charging station comprising:

a transmitter wirelessly transmitting the power to the receiver;

a plurality of magnetic levitation modules providing a repelling force between the aerial vehicle and the charging station, wherein the plurality magnetic levitation modules generate a magnetic force depression that prevent lateral movement of the aerial vehicle; and

a controller controlling the plurality of magnetic levitation modules to adjust a level of the repelling force based on at least one parameter of a plurality of parameters indicative of charging efficiency and to control a movement of the aerial vehicle in a vertical direction by the repelling force, wherein the repelling force creates and maintains a vertical distance between the aerial vehicle and the charging station.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of parameters include a current level of the plurality of magnetic levitation modules.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of magnetic levitation modules is disposed on at least one of the aerial vehicle and the charging station.

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the controller increases or decreases the level of the repelling force such that to maintain the at least one parameter at a predetermined level.

13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the controller activates the transmitter to transmit the power when the at least one parameter indicates that the aerial vehicle is approaching the charging station.

14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the controller deactivates the transmitter to stop transmitting the power when the at least one parameter indicates that the aerial vehicle is moving away from the charging station.
