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
