welcome to TTI welcome to a whole new world of science fun and drones this
century is the era of flying objects without a doubt drones are the most
controversial flying object in the recent years but anyway we gathered our
list on the most sci-fi looking drones around the world number 8's mad Smad
stands for sure Brooks multi-model autonomous drone which was developed by
the students at Sherbrooke University of Canada this joan has a mind-blowing
capability of landing on the wall vertically a lot of hard work and effort
has been put in by the team members to build this drone as around 30,000
simulations are performed for this drone in order to counter issues like vertical
landing on a wall wall detection speed control relocation of drone while
attached on the wall and so on the drone is inspired by the perching techniques
that birds use and how they fly towards a higher surface and to land on a
particular object and vice versa the drone first flies towards the target
at a target speed of seven to nine meters per second and using the wall
detection laser sensor the drone slows down to a target speed of one to three
meters per second afterwards the drone is tilted vertically and its suspension
system first touches the wall absorbing the extra kinetic energy from the impact
of hitting the wall and then the microfibre feet of the drone latch onto
the wall surface
the drone is extremely useful for building inspections as a health check
long-term surveillance operations and aerial monitoring of locations after
earthquakes number seven sparrow jumper as the name of the drone suggests this
Sparrow jumper drone has two legs which allows the drone to land and also take
off in the air the concept is inspired by birds and created by Matthew will I
founder of the South African aeronautical company passerine Aircraft
Corporation the funding of the drone is majorly managed by Y Combinator which is
a popular American seed accelerator the drone is built with the vision and
purpose that it would be able to deliver heavy payloads with the no runway
requirement Sparrow jumper has no rotors catapult or undercarriage and solely
uses its legs to jump in the air and land on the ground you might be thinking
that this drone would be walking speed due to its simple design however the
sparrow jumper can reach a top speed of a hundred kilometers per hour
currently the drone has a shorter wingspan of around two meters but the
company has a plan to expand the wingspan to about five meters in length
the drone has a multi-purpose usages like geospatial analysis surveillance
missions railway or pipeline monitoring and so on
Thor Thor is a drone that hovers like a helicopter and flies like an aeroplane
this drone is developed by students of Singapore at the University of
Technology and design Thor stands for transformable hovering rotor craft which
means that the drone can transform from hover mode to fixed-wing flight mode
while airborne the drone uses two wings positioned at the right angles rotating
as a single structure with the rotor attached to each wing to provide a lift
in spin motion when transitioning to fixed-wing flight the wings rotate into
an alignment and assume a traditional aircraft configuration centrifugal force
transfers the center of the gravity from the position that occupies in each mode
allowing the Thor to switch modes without landing once the students are
working to further improve the auto rotation system that will allow the
drone to glide down safely without power
number five alphabet winged drone the alphabet winged drone is currently
delivering burritos in southeastern Australia the major problem faced today
with the current transportation system is the fuel consumption and the co2
emission that's polluting the environment the alphabet wing Jone
ensures zero co2 emission and is super environmentally friendly the drone has a
lightweight design and can reach a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour
the alphabet wing drone is driven entirely by an electric power system and
has the ability to fly up to 400 metres above the ground level maximum weight
that the drone can carry is about 1.5 kilograms or less which is why it's
currently being used in the United States in Australia for the purpose of
delivering feed product the company has a vision to expand this project globally
and also increase the weight carriage capacity of the drone in the near future
number four EPFL folding drone EPFL drone is developed by Switzerland's
Federal Institute of Technology the cool feature in this drone is that it
automatically folds when it's not being used the drone can carry weight up to
500 grams and was built with the purpose of delivering small items quickly such
as medicine letters first-aid supplies food parcels and so on the drone has
built-in technology to avoid obstacles and will therefore never get stuck in
traffic and has a cage design which allows the luggage or objects to be
safely carried around by the drone without the risk of dropping the items
furthermore the drone has a foldable design inspired by the concept of the
Japanese paper folding art of origami the drone can be easily folded and
placed in a backpack as the volume of space that the drone occupies is reduced
by 92% when it's folded the drone is controllable through both ios and
android smartphones with an application making it user-friendly number three
vertigo vertigo is a drone that is able to travel on ground as well as climb and
travel on the walls as well commonly known as the wall climbing drone vertigo
is developed by a collaboration between Disney researchers Erick and ETH first
the drone travels with its four wheels and slowly hits the front of the wall
afterwards it places the two propellers on the front which can tilt allowing the
drone to slowly climb on the wall and travel just as well as a spider the
drone is made up of carbon fiber plates and is quite lightweight vertigo defies
gravity and always and if Spiderman was alive vertigo could replace him as well
the wheels of the drone are 3d printed and is quite useful for surveillance
number 2 t CAD T CAD also referred to as the future soldier drone is created by
the company called Duke robotics in Florida the drone can replace the
soldiers in combat in order to avoid unnecessary casualties or life loss Tcat
the future soldier is a fully robotic weaponry system on an effective airborne
platform which has taken years to develop T CAD can access localizations
which soldiers can't reach and has a lightweight robotic gimbal which can
carry and stabilize a weapon three times the gimbals weight the drone quickly
adjusts to its weapons recoil when fired allowing it to stay on target
the drone has won the 2017 US department of defense security innovation award
almost 100 the billion dollars is spent by the
United States of America on buying better armed solutions every year
without a doubt t CAD can save these billions as well as the lives of the
soldiers the drone waste around 50 kilograms and can fly up to 1,500 metres
number one Kalashnikov drones Zala drones are made by a Russian
company Kalashnikov with the purpose of protecting the Russian assets at the
Arctic latitudes the drone is able to sense any vessel approaching nearing its
facilities from a distance of approximately 62 miles it has a 24
megapixel camera and can automatically scan and gather information about the
size type name weight and speed of the vessel the objective of this drone is to
solve and automate the manual tasks that were able to be performed by military
men of Russia the drone does not rely on GPS and it has its own alternative
navigation system and has a battery that can last for five hours
the drone also provides safety for the military men who risk their lives out in
the Arctic Ocean thanks for watching which Joan impressed you the most let me
know in the comments section below if you're new here then feel free to
subscribe I'll see you guys in my next video peace
you
