A hybrid drone attachment which can pick up, transport, and manipulate objects as well as adaptive land on uneven terrain.
Key advantages
Manipulation Mode:
- Delta-robot like 3DOF manipulation
- Precise and fast manipulation
- Low moving masses, less disturbance of rotorcraft flight behavior
Compact Flight Mode (retracted landing gear):
- Low Energy consumption due to deactivated actuators
- Masses closest to rotorcraft for best maneuverability
- Best Aerodynamic Characteristics
- Smallest geometrical food-print
Adaptive Landing Mode:
- Adaption to uneven surface
- Stabile tripod geometry
- Low energy consumption due to deactivated actuators (when landing position is reached)
- Dampening of legs can be used to absorb impact energy
Applications:
- Inspection - Delivery - Agriculture - Construction - Mining - Maintenance - Search and Rescue - Military...
