Drone-hunting drone, information processing method, and system
According to an embodiment, a hunting drone includes a hunting mechanism, a net gun, a flying mechanism, and a control unit. The hunting mechanism captures a target. The net gun generates a sound at the time of firing a hunting net. After approaching the target to a predetermined distance, the hunting drone captures the target using the hunting mechanism, while avoiding false recognition of the target by using the sound generated at the time of firing the net gun as a threatening sound to repel a wrong target such as a bird.
1 . A drone, comprising:
a hunting mechanism configured to capture a target;
a flying mechanism configured to fly the drone; and
a control unit;
the control unit, the hunting mechanism, and the flying mechanism communicating via a data bus;
wherein the control unit is configured to:
cause the drone to approach the target to a predetermined distance using the flying mechanism;
generate a sound using the hunting mechanism; and
capture the target using the hunting mechanism.
2 . The drone according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a radar configured to measure a distance to the target, wherein
the control unit fires a hunting net from a net gun using the hunting mechanism and generates the sound when the distance measured by the radar has become the predetermined distance.
3 . The drone according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a communication interface for transmitting and receiving data to and from a host apparatus,
wherein the control unit is configured to:
communicate with the communication interface via the data bus;
receive, from the host apparatus via the communication interface, a hunting instruction to capture the target; and
cause, using the flying mechanism, the drone to approach the target to the predetermined distance in accordance with the hunting instruction.
4 . The drone according to claim 1 , wherein the hunting mechanism is a net gun configured to fire a net.
5 . The drone according to claim 1 , wherein the hunting mechanism generates the sound with a blank.
6 . An information processing method, the method comprising:
detecting a target;
causing a drone to approach the target to a predetermined distance, the drone including a hunting mechanism configured to capture the target;
generating a sound using the hunting mechanism; and
capturing the target using the hunting mechanism.
