Abstract
A method for controlling a landing gear of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes detecting whether a relative-to-ground height of the UAV is greater than a height threshold, where the relative-to-ground height is a vertical height of the UAV with respect to an object; and in response to the relative-to-ground height being not greater than the height threshold and the UAV having not lowered the landing gear, adjusting the relative-to-ground height to the height threshold or above, and lowering the landing gear.
