DUAWLFIN, A Drone That Can Both Fly and Drive Using the Same Motors Researchers from UC Berkeley have developed a unique hybrid drone that both flies like a quadcopter and drives on the ground using the same motors. Unlike the average drone that needs separate motors or propellers to move on the ground, DUAWLFIN uses a clever mechanical system called a differential drivetrain to switch between flight and wheels. The spinning of propellers is not required while… |
