Micro-drones lift 40 times their own weight

(Web Desk) - Micro air vehicles (MAVs) are finding use across an expanding range of applications. However, when interacting with the environment, they are limited by the maximum thrust they can produce. Here, we describe FlyCroTugs, a class of robots that adds to the mobility of MAVs the capability of forceful tugging up to 40 times their mass while adhering to a surface.

According to science robotic Magazine, this revolutionary work on drone strikes has been done by experts from the University of California, Stanford University, and there is a gradual improvement. Experts believe that such drone can be used for many tasks.

The micro air vehicle, shown in the picture, can lift up to 40 times weight than its weight. However, It can go through narrow places and removes heavy materials and can drag heavy items. Even in difficult situations it can creep. All this is possible due to its small size.

But, this is just a proof of concept, and the basic idea that we can create micro-drones that don’t just fly around spaces but also manipulate them is enticing. Squads of cheap, disposable micro-drones could work together in the future, clearing rubble for larger robots in disaster scenarios for example.
