Shock-absorbing legs and advanced thruster control could let drones land almost anywhere.
the skies will be buzzing with thousands of drones delivering everything from fast food orders to prescription meds. But before that day arrives,when it comes to finding safe places,simply touching down on the first flat open space it finds, but what ifplaces where people fear to tread?That’s part of the inspiration for a new landing system developed at the Université de Sherbrooke’s Createk Design Lab in Quebec, Canada.
The solution the researchers at the Createk Design Lab came up with was two-fold, starting with equipping a drone with four landing legs that use friction-based shocktouches down. A small electric motor can actively increase the amount of friction at the moving hinge point where each leg connects to the drone, ensuring there’s no excess energy remaining that could cause the drone to bounce away.
