Two Bicopters Linked by a Cable Use a Motorized Winch and Sensor to Transform Into a Quadcopter Mid-Air Researchers led by R.Wang have developed a transformable aerial robot made from two small bicopters connected by a cable, allowing the system to change its shape and interact with objects without using a conventional robotic gripper. Each bicopter uses two brushless motors with tilting propellers, while the cable itself acts as the key mechanical component. One aircraft carries a motorized… |

How MIT's Aerial Microrobots Fly as Agilely as Insects Engineers from MIT have developed aerial microrobots that are roughly 450% faster with about 250% better acceleration in comparison to prior demos. “We want to be able to use these robots in scenarios that more traditional quadcopter robots would have trouble flying into, but that insects could navigate,” said Kevin Chen, an associate professor at MIT. The robot's controller is… |

Custom Quad-Rotor Drone Hitting 605 km/h Sets Unofficial World Record The Drone Pro Hub team recorded their drone reaching a top speed of 605 km/h. The feat was the outcome of an 18-month effort headed by FPV specialist Benjamin Biggs. The quad-rotor drone, mounted on a base for take-off, featured onboard GPS telemetry that allowed speed monitoring. While not recognized as an official record, they tested the right way and calculated the average speed of… |

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… |

Basics of Drone and How They Work Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), have become popular in recent years due to their wide range of applications. They are used in photography, agriculture, security, delivery services, and even in military operations. But how do drones work? This article will cover the fundamental concepts of drones, their components, how they fly, and their… |

Mechanical Engineer Develops Remarkable Quadcopter Using 3D Printing, Including Motors! A 3D Printer can do wonders in the hands of the right person. The 3D-printed quadcopter is one such thing that is completely made using this technology. The central part and the hands are custom designed on CAD software and are then sent to the 3d printer. The main magic of this quadcopter is actually not… |

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… |

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… |
