Drone Mars double ground mode – air

The aerospace school belongs to Harbin Technology Institute, developing a versatile drone of 300 grams, only an apple, capable of operating both in the air and under the ground, Global Times On 10/2 reported.

The new Drone model promises to serve the future Mars exploration. It can easily roll on the ground, take off when necessary and avoid obstacles. Moreover, with the ability to transform into many different forms such as two wheels or spheres, it can adapt to the diverse environment and terrain. In addition, it can also equip more mechanical arms to perform the task.

The drone is controlled by a servo engine, can roll forward on the ground by changing the focus such as a tough toy, according to Zhu Yimin, PhD student at the Harbin Technology Institute, Members. team. In the air, it mainly relies on a pair of coaxial rotor in the opposite direction to control the direction and fly stably.

The team has developed many versions with different configurations. By rolling on the ground, they can save energy when moving, achieving 6 times more durability than the same size drones. With light modules and light weight design, drone can expand the function to meet the requirements of tasks such as monitoring, detecting errors, maintenance.

Professor Zhang Lixian from the aerospace school of Turki Technology Institute hopes that in the future, versatile drones with the ability to move both in the air and under the ground by China will operate more durable and more durable and There is a longer observation time on Mars. Zhang also added that they are expected to operate in many other environments such as coal mine, subway pipes and subway, supporting the process of building and exploring the underground space.
