Speaking of drones, everyone will feel that using it for aerial photography, sending a Mexican chicken roll or the like is quite interesting. But if you tell you, put a pair of claws (double robotic arm) on the drone base, it can take away your baby like an eagle, and you think it is fun?
Last week, Japanese drone manufacturer Prodrone showed the audience the " world's first large-scale drone with dual-arms " at the InterDrone show in Las Vegas - PD6B-AW-ARM .
This built-in two 22.2v/16,000mAh battery, waterproof drone, flying up to 30 minutes, the maximum speed of up to 60km / h, the maximum operating height of 5km. Its fuselage model was derived from the company's PD6B-AW model, plus two robotic arms capable of gripping, carrying, and releasing functions with a total load of 10kg.
With this pair of robotic arms, drones can land in dangerous areas, for example, grabbing and stopping on guardrails. Or transport the patio furniture as shown in the video. In addition to transporting cargo, the robot arm can also weld items, cut short ropes, control switches, deliver lifesaving items, monitor harmful substances, and more. In general, designers still hope this design can help humans do more things. So, rest assured, your baby is still very safe! (More prodrone detailed video please click here)
In addition to Prodrone, many other companies are also trying to study drones. Below, Xiao Bian briefly introduces two other drones with crawler functions for you.
Four-rotor hummingbird drone
Tech.qq
As early as 2013, U.S. researchers demonstrated to the public in the video a four-rotor winged hummingbird drone.
The drone's four-rotor hummingbird drone features a three-finger gripper created using thermoplastics, and the outer rubber wrap improves its gripping ability. The gripper is attached to a swivel arm that simulates the action of the eagle retracting the paw as it dive to reduce the relative speed between the target and the target.
Although drones can't be captured like an eagle, it's already approaching. By making a few changes, the researchers were able to grab the object with a threefold increase in gripper speed.
In addition to this love, it has a fast speed, a total weight (the total weight of the fuselage and gripper is less than 1 kg), can be instantly silenced (can be instantly silenced in covert operations, and help to improve the execution of tasks by reducing the hover time). (Permanence) and other characteristics.
Spherical drone

In April this year, Germany's Festo FESTO company launched a spherical drone with a capture function - FreeMotionHandling.
FreeMotionHandling consists of an ultra-light carbon ring and eight adaptive propellers. The center is a rotatable helium balloon with integrated clamping elements below the sphere. Under the control of infrared cameras and intelligent programs, spherical drones can move objects back and forth between multiple locations. In operation, the sphere identifies the target through indoor GPS and camera, locates and plans the path. When grabbing, GPS and airborne equipment can sense the surrounding environment. When integrated clamping elements are used to grasp objects, they react to the surrounding environment.
However, FreeMotionHandling can only transport objects with small weight, such as a bottle of mineral water. Researchers are making improvements to it so that it can carry out heavy work at a later stage.
