Daler robot can both fly and walk on land
Daler new robot can fly through the air and on the ground but this development can be something of a surprise. Wings of the robot can be transformed into a clumsy feet and the car like a bat can clamber over the surface. Daler Developers say that robots typically use only one type of movement, they either walk or run, or fly, or swim, but not all at once. However, Daler or Deployable air land exploration robot uses "ataptivnuyu morphology" to work in the air or on the ground. The wingspan of the robot is 60 cm, it uses "aliped" type of movement. Developers call him limb from Whegs Wheel (Wheel) and Legs (Legs). Daler can walk on the ground for an hour, or fly through the air for half an hour. new robot has been created in the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at the Federal Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne in Switzerland. Here, the developers say that one day he Daler or similar machines can be used for search and rescue. "The objective is to cover a large distance as rapidly as possible. Robot decides when his flight configuration used, and when moving along the ground. Multidrive By using movement system, this robot is a significant advantage during operation in difficult terrain and can go where others get stuck, "- says one of the developers of the robot Louis Dallaire. According to him, at the moment the robot is quite slow - the earth is moved at a speed of 20 cm / sec, and for him to fly, it must raise and run like a paper airplane into the air. But despite these limitations, the initial prototype has shown that the concept itself of such machines is viable and useful. expected that the next version of the robot will be able to carry herself vertical take-off and landing. Besides Daler can adapt to different types of the earth's surface, increasing maneuverability.
