In the past few years, we have covered plenty of 4 legged robots that can perform a wide variety of tasks outdoors. A team led by the University of California San Diego has come up with a set of algorithms that enable 4-legged robots to walk and run on challenging terrain. It enables robots to avoid static and moving obstacles.

Wisk’s 6th Gen Self Flying VTOL Electric Air Taxi

0

Meet Wisk’s 6th Generation Air Taxi: a self flying 4-seat all-electric VTOL flying vehicle designed with a safety first mindset. It has a cruising speed of 120 knots and a range of 90 miles. This air taxi is autonomous but has human oversight and full redundancy. It has room for 4 people and their bags and personal items.

As the company explains, this air taxi has:

  • Proprietary 12 propeller design and boom configuration with improved propulsion systems. Tilting propulsion units in front of the wing and fixed lift units aft of the wing are optimized for range, improved aircraft control and performance, and efficient energy management.
  • A raised wing design, extended booms, and increased size and number of propeller blades to improve safety, stability, and the passenger experience, while reducing both in-cabin noise and the aircraft’s overall noise footprint.
