    "patent_abstract": "An unmanned aerial vehicle includes a body, at least two rotors rotatably disposed at the body, and at least one processor. Each rotor is configured to provide a first thrust in a first direction when rotating in a forward direction and a second thrust in a second direction opposite to the first direction when rotating in a reverse direction. The at least one processor is configured to, in response to the body being in a to-be-rescued attitude, determine whether the at least two rotors are capable of conducting rescue, and in response to determining that only one or more first rotors being capable of conducting rescue, control to perform a rescue operation by controlling the one or more first rotors to provide the second thrust and controlling one or more second rotors other than the one or more first rotors to stop rotating.",
    "precision_class": "structural",
    "invention_explanation": "A drone reverses selected rotors to create opposing thrust, helping it change orientation and return to a flyable position after tipping over.",
