We Built an ESP32 Wall Climbing Beetle Robot We can see wall-climbing robots from hobby-level to serious problem-solving ones that are used for inspection, surveillance, cleaning, etc. When we generally talk about robots, a robot can be a firefighting robot, a human-following robot, a self-balancing robot or can be of any type that has some specific features or solves a specific kind of problem. If we talk… |

World's First Jet-Powered Hoverbike Opens for Preorder on August 1 A futuristic personal flying vehicle we previously covered will soon be available for pre-ordering. The Volonaut Airbike, developed by Polish inventor Tomasz Patan, is a jet-powered hoverbike. It is designed for a single rider and is capable of going as fast as 200 km/h. However, this is limited to 102 km/h for compliance reasons. A standout feature of the Airbike is its jet… |

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… |

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… |

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… |

2 Blade vs 3 Blade Propeller: Which is Better for your Drone? A common debate in the drone world is whether a two-bladed propeller is better than a three-bladed propeller, and vice versa. 2 blade props make more sense when speed and efficiency are priorities, and they are commonly employed in lightweight drones with less powerful motors. If you want additional force and flight stability, like with bigger drones, 3 blade propellers are… |
