Abstract

An unmanned flying object that flies in the air includes a capturer, including at least one of a net, a sucking device, a stick, a rope or a spear, that captures an object other than the unmanned flying object in the air, a sensor that detects that the capturer has captured the object, and a processor that performs operations including: receiving an operation signal via wireless communication; performing a manual flight control that controls the unmanned flying object on the basis of the operation signal; switching from the manual flight control to an autonomous flight control that controls the unmanned flying object to not be dependent on the operation signal received via the wireless communication, when the sensor detects the capture of the object while the manual flight control is being performed.
