Description
Drones are often equipped with shock-absorbing rigid structures intended for landing or absorbing impact of crashes. While the landing gear that manufacturers supply does protect the drone from damage...
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have a so-far untapped potential to operate at high speeds through cluttered environments. Many of these systems are limited by their adhoc reactive controllers using s...
The nature of this research is to prototype different types of perching landing gears for drones. Using natural mechanisms found in animals, our team created two bio-inspired designs of perching landi...
