Unmanned aerial vehicle control method and related device

An unmanned aerial vehicle control method and a related device, used for increasing interaction friendliness of topology checks. An unmanned aerial vehicle comprises multiple functional modules, and the different functional modules are able to be connected to form different topological structures. The method comprises: check an actually-connected topological structure formed by the multiple functional modules (S501); the unmanned aerial vehicle feeds back the check result information to a ground control site (S502). In an embodiment, after a topological structure check, the unmanned aerial vehicle will feed back the check result information to the ground control site, and then the ground control site provides a prompt for a user by means of a user interface. In this way, a user is provided with an interaction channel to get to know about the topological structure checks, thereby improving interaction friendliness of topology checks.
