1. A first unmanned aerial vehicle comprising:
an emitting component disposed on a main body of the first unmanned aerial vehicle;
a first wireless communications component configured to establish a communications connection to a master computer, and receive a first planned route sent by the master computer;
a first controller configured to:
control, according to the first planned route, the first unmanned aerial vehicle to fly to a first side of a switchable glass to be detected;
control the first unmanned aerial vehicle to fly to a same height as a detection point of the switchable glass to be detected; and
control the emitting component to emit a detection light to the detection point; wherein
the emitting component includes three light-exit apertures, and the three light-exit apertures are configured to emit three parallel light rays; and
a permanent magnet disposed on the emitting component; wherein
the permanent magnet is configured to align the emitting component with a receiving component after an electromagnetic coil disposed on the receiving component is energized; and
the first controller is further configured to control the emitting component to move to the detection point before the emitting component is controlled to emit the detection light to the detection point.
