This Student-Built Satellite Turns Into a Drone While Landing Here is something you don’t see every day, a satellite that turns into a drone and guides itself back to the ground, without the help of a parachute. I Build Stuff youtuber recently made this happen for the CanSat competition, and honestly, it is one of those “simple idea, tricky execution” projects that ended up working out surprisingly well. Instead of using a parachute to land, like… |

Volonaut Airbike: A Lightweight Hoverbike for Personal Travel Volonaut Airbike is a futuristic personal flying vehicle designed by Polish inventor Tomasz Patan. This jet-powered hoverbike is built for just one person to ride and can hit speeds of up to 200 km/h. The Airbike has recently completed its development phase and is now planning to release it to the public. Volonaut hasn’t shared how much the Airbike will cost or when exactly it might be… |

Let's Build a Low Cost Drone using ESP32 Drones have rapidly evolved from niche hobbies to versatile tools with a wide range of applications, from photography to agriculture or even for defence and military purposes. Building a DIY ESP32 drone project is an affordable entry point into drone technology, with costs ranging from pocket change to commercial-grade systems. Even though the basic principle… |

Battery-free Robots use Origami to change Shape in Mid-Air Scientists at Washington University have created small robotic devices capable of adjusting their aerial movement by adopting a folded posture as they fall. These " microfliers," when released from drones, employ a specific origami technique, the Miura-ori fold, to transition from a scattered, tumbling motion to a direct downward fall. The… |

Teaching 3D Model of Iron Man to Fly Using Neural Networks and Reinforcement Learning An inventor has created an impressive simulation on a YouTube channel called "gonkee," where they teach a 3D model how to simulate flying using neural networks. The project began by importing a highly detailed 3D model of Iron Man into Blender software, which required reducing the number of triangles to reduce the load on the computer.… |

How to Build a Quadcopter Drone Using CC3D Flight Controller? The flight controller is the brain of a drone as it monitors and controls everything the drone does. KK2.1.5 and CC3D are widely used flight controllers in drones. In our previous tutorial, we have used KK2.1.5 Flight Controller to fly a drone. You don’t require any PC to set up the KK2.1.5 flight controller as it comes with an inbuilt screen and we can set up this… |

How to Interface and Configure a GPS module for CC3D Flight Controller CC3D (Copter control 3) is a flight controller, which is developed by Open Pilot and is completely open-source. In this tutorial, we are going to interface the CC3D flight controller with the NEO-6M GPS module. GPS is used in drones for many purposes like position hold, delivery, return to position, and many more but the CC3D flight controller does not support the… |

Different Types of Drone Frames: Monocopter to Octocopter There are so many types of drones that are available in the market, and each of them serves a different purpose, so we cannot define any set criteria for their classification. As you already know, drones have a different number of propellers. The majority of commercial drones (or multi-copters) in the market today are quadcopters, which means they contain four… |

How to Select your Drone Flight Controller – A Comparative Selection Guide Whenever we design a drone, the most important part of it is the flight controller. The stability and function of the drone depends only on the flight controller. Nowadays, there are many flight controllers in the market, so it becomes very difficult to select a flight controller. We select drone flight controllers on the basis of what we want to do with the drone. For… |
