Design and Control of a Midair-Reconfigurable Quadcopter using Unactuated Hinges

[@darimages2803]

Amazing engineering and clever.I can see a lot applications for this drone.

[@ibrarhaider-xz2mc]

could you please write down some actually I'm working on this drone and I need some applications I'll take some of the most attractive applications to present.

I feel like the folding action would be a great addition to drone racing, requiring operators to traverse complicated terrain and narrow gaps. Very cool.

[@VadimR4]

Very clever. Talk about thinking outside the box!

How can this video have only 630 views 😳 i'm shocked... you guys pulled out a tremendously cool advancement in the field. Anyway i think that a simple mechanical propeller arm locking system wouldn't affect the weight too much. I feel that it would be a significant advantage to have improved yaw. And mechanically actuate the arms with some degree of choice could also be an improvement since that would allow the arms to be folded just the amount needed to pass through the gap and still manage to provide some lift to the whole thing. If I'm not wrong you guys use the reverse propeller direction to fold the arms, I'm pretty sure that a servo would probably be more efficient at doing the same task. There were my thoughts, for the rest i can see may usefull application for drone racing too, imagine drone tracks where they fly full speed through tiny gapsby folding the arms mid flight or maybe had to suicide dive down a tight tube 🤔 wow haha

I'm not sure if it's 'hormones'...but this amazing autonomous aerial ballet almost brought tears to my eyes...

[@fugginrambo]

Its hormones caused from your Vegan diet which is rotting your brain...... Totally just joking

[@VEGANSAM]

@@fugginrambo LOLOL!!!

[@fugginrambo]

@@VEGANSAM ohh good u have a sense of humor!☺️ On a serious note, this is amazing and the ability to morph on the fly without extra electronics or sensors blows my mind. Very cool stuff!

[@VEGANSAM]

@@fugginrambo I couldn't agree more...

[@prandtlmayer]

Just amazing

[@dangerszone]

I'm thinking the things can land on a power line and use inductive charging to re-charge.

[@Inertia888]

that is a very interesting proposition!

[@alexc3046]

This is cool ! Good work

[@neonuser456]

Very interesting

[@grumpyfpv6202]

Thats super cool

Hi, I am a final year engineering major trying to make the above drone as my final year product, I need some help with the dimensions of the frame and the arm angles with the frame. Please could you help me out.

[@Amrafel]

how to buy it?
