Abstract:
An aircraft and an obstacle avoidance method and system thereof. The obstacle avoidance system comprises an image capturing apparatus (11), a cradle head stability-enhancement system, and a second controller (14). The cradle head stability-enhancement system comprises a cradle head body (12) and a cradle head control system (13). The image capturing apparatus (11) is arranged on the cradle head body (12), and is used for capturing an image in a flying direction when the aircraft is flying. The cradle head control system (13) is connected to the cradle head body (12). The second controller (14) is used for determining whether an obstacle exists in the image captured by the image capturing apparatus (11), and if yes, changing the flying direction of the aircraft according to a position of the obstacle, and if not, controlling the aircraft to fly in the current flying direction. The obstacle avoidance method remedies the shortcoming of an existing aircraft of incapability of automatically avoiding an obstacle, enabling the aircraft to automatically avoid an obstacle ahead without the control of an operator and prevent the aircraft from collision with the obstacle.
