Abstract
A method for automatically powering off an aerial vehicle includes determining an operating state of the aerial vehicle, and in response to a determination result that the operating state of the aerial vehicle is a landed state, triggering to shut down a propulsion output of the aerial vehicle such that the aerial vehicle completes automatic power off after landing, including, in response to the determination result that the operating state of the aerial vehicle is the landed state, determining whether the propulsion output of the aerial vehicle is currently enabled and determining whether an automatic take-off operation indicated by an automatic take-off instruction is currently being performed, and, in response to the propulsion output being currently enabled and the automatic take-off operation not currently being performed, triggering to shut down the propulsion output of the aerial vehicle.
