Using a Sticky Design Inspires Drone Hitchhikes, Flies, and Swims by Fish, Imperial College London
A new drone design that uses hitchhiking to save power and flies in the air and on the water is now available for pre-order. The Imperial College London team, which includes experts in aerial robotics, has built a new drone that is capable of attaching to a wide range of wet and dry surfaces, of varying texture and shape, with battery-saving characteristics. Additionally, the drone is capable of self-adapting such that it may descend from the air and then swim in the water. Longer airborne and underwater observations are possible thanks to the drone's capacity to "rest" while hitchhiking. Professor Li Wen is the driving force behind the new drone technology, which was developed in association with Imperial College London and Empa.
