the foldable drone the foldable drone may sound like a joke but trust me it
works it was inspired by birds who have the amazing ability to adapt to
different environments and can tailor their Anatomy to suit different
functions in a similar manner the foldable drone
is a morphing quadrotor that can change its shape and size in order to
accomplish different tasks it can be used to squeeze through narrow openings
or fly over high obstacles and it achieves this through the use of a
mainframe for independently rotating arms and an on-board computer running
all the calculations expect to see this result of a collaboration between the
University of Zurich and EPFL asan everywhere in the future
hi drone Grif lion the hi drone Grif lion is an amazing new device launched
by MMC UAC in 2019 during the Intergeo 2019 it received
instant attention for its improved flight time and it's more efficient
metal bipolar plate hydrogen fuel cell with a maximum hydrogen storage capacity
of 27 liters it has been demonstrated to reach flight times as high as fifteen
hours without payload and it can fly for 10 hours even with a three kilogram
payload which represents a massive improvement over the competition
hydron Grif Lian finds applications in the field of surveying and mapping
rescue security and protection border scouting and forest scouting and
provides better efficiency and safety at almost the same prices
Samara auto-rotating wings the seeds of maple trees have inspired many designs
and philosophies throughout history the Samara auto-rotating wings is another
product of this amazing plant and the designers at air lab studied the ways in
which the Samara uses autorotation as a unique mechanism to disperse their
mechanical seeds over large distances with no form of propulsion
the result of this research is a device that had extended its stability and
direction controllability by generalizing the mechanism to
incorporate designs with more than one way it can detach into singular units
and functions with a decentralized separation mechanism that slows down
vertical descent rate with the use of a conical spiral autorotation trajectory
solar-powered quadcopter the genius who came up with this next idea deserves a
prize you know how drones fly so close to the
Sun but still have to be recharged with electricity
well these brilliant individuals put solar panels on the back of a drone so
that it can recharge itself all running
developed by a student team from the National University of Singapore or NUS
this ultra-thin drone is created from carbon fiber and weighs just 2.6
kilograms and this can be attributed to the lack of any conventional drone
pieces like an onboard battery or other energy storage system instead it works
with the use of about 148 silicon solar cells and has been flown remotely up to
about 43 square feet at an altitude of more than 10 meters Morphin quadcopter
forget shape-shifting robots the morphing quadcopter is a shape-shifting
drone designed by the bright minds over at UC Berkeley to fold and unfold as
desire
this drone can change its form without the use of any additional actuators
instead it makes use of low or high thrust forces from their propellers to
switch into folded or unfolded mode it has been demonstrated to be able to
shrink to less than 50% of its original size and has been calibrated to safely
fold and unfold whenever the user requires it and without any accidents
great drones great drones is a one-of-a-kind invention created by
Canadian designers at the human Media Lab at Queen's University this
innovative graphic system grants users the ability to physically manipulate
pixels in 3d space with the use of a smartphone application this is possible
because the 3d pixels can be given a spatial relationship using a smartphone
app and it can be used to let them know when to move when approached by a
neighboring drone it makes use of 15 nano quadcopters that maintain their
position using a vikon motion capture system with pinpoint accuracy grid
drones represent a unique experience for robotics enthusiasts for several reasons
the first of which is that it does not require structural support as each
element self levitates to overcome gravity and it has a bi-directional
system so users can simply rearrange the pixels and you can also change the print
and ensure a more immersive experience
light be developed by the bright minds at Queen's University human Media Lab
the light bee is a one-of-a-kind holographic display drip which gives
users the opportunity to project images of themselves from remote locations and
mimics their head movements while in flight this device seems like it would
be part of a futuristic home in a science fiction movie and it works with
the use of a series of 3d cameras to capture head and body movements and
project it to another site with the use of a cylindrical projection surface
equipped light beam this drone moves within a ring of 45 smart projectors
which project the light field onto the screen and generates realistic
crystal-clear imagery a defo forget the fact that the adecco looks like two pie
plates stacked together this machine can actually fly the results of years of
research and development from romanian engineer Roz van sabi and aerodynamicist
Yosef tapas ooh
the a Dafoe is an acronym for all direction flying object and it sure
lives up to the name it holds the record of being the first flying VTOL aircraft
in the world able to fly in all directions under the same aerodynamics
characteristics and it has the enviable characteristic of being able to fly
either as a quadcopter when it's at low speed and as a supercharged
jet propelled aircraft when you have a need for speed thanks for watching
which drone did you find the most impressive and why tell me the reason in
