Watch this quadrotor turn into a trirotor and keep flying Post a Comment <p id="speakable-summary">In a video that similar to those videos where humans push around <a href="http://techcrunch.com/tag/ATLAS">ATLAS</a>, researchers at Delft University of Technology have created a system that will let a quadrotor drone keep flying even if one of the propellers is broken.</p> <p>The video above – which is, arguably, pretty boring – shows the drone fighting against both structural damage and wind and most definitely winning. The fact that it is able to stay airborne under such wild conditions is the real draw here and it’s a fascinating experiment in robust robotics. In other words, this drone routed around damage that would destroy a normal quadcopter.</p> <p>According to <a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/drones/quadrotor-maintains-high-speed-flight-with-just-three-rotors">IEEE</a> the system works by adding a multiple subsystems to the drone in order to manage the position and altitude. The system uses the built-in gyro and accelerometer readings to keep itself in the air and lots of processing power to keep it moving forward even as it seems to careen into the wild blue yonder. Further, the system manages motor power to ensure that the propellers aren’t “saturated.”</p> <p>The researchers, Sihao Sun, Leon Sijbers, Xuerui Wang, and Coen de Visser, presented their paper in Spain last week at IROS 2018.</p> <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=2X0c-F8WkvA:_1FUnC3mfD4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uSzPX16jr2HtDl4y9lYV8DjWdTyCeX7xEzXCmTBb2WH0eCgVqBd9Ss9iv1FpZ169ztH1eLY7S3Inw6vDDVkJaJNs050Ufw9TjQ79gxa-2eMrZ8f0QBQ4bZlb_L8LxZgWObjFkYFcWOcvUME6irlEuydGEZ=s0-d"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=2X0c-F8WkvA:_1FUnC3mfD4:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tUdVij9mJeBn9d715NBWkbYpXblFDvC7tMeB51Ksm3nmPcacqZp9ojxKgyGMdBbsu8Pj2B19tFORofPZ8xkuu5-wixbhKlhTqINrJT85fhQ5wAuhR3vCSAesTbcMdpBQgaEoMCAIw58PUsMQPkcydddPCp=s0-d"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=2X0c-F8WkvA:_1FUnC3mfD4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_szWQl70zsq_kDYFvPmxPZQmU6PRkKE3LoexSUqdEfQHcTfD0YX52pFR4RwdqyscclYNnYamDAkuLCt3cXZ7ghtmTjK7nqGr7NHZDe75ogQZK8Jyanwul5qiQ4=s0-d"></a></div> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/12/watch-this-quadrotor-turn-into-a-trirotor-and-keep-flying/">Read More</a> Share : You may like these posts :Researchers sabotage 3D printer files to destroy a droneSwarms of tiny, cute robots will one day bring you your phone, like thisYouTube is now available on your Dish DVRA short list of some games we want to see on the Nintendo Switch Post a Comment for "Watch this quadrotor turn into a trirotor and keep flying"
