In the past few years, we have seen a couple of innovative robots that can turn into drones to fly over obstacles and transport items. This 3D printed robot from Michael Rechtin is also worth a look. It shifts from a tank like rover into a quadcopter. As you can see in this video, the robot unfolds its wheels, which hold the rotors it needs to fly around. When on land, it changes its posture to roll around.
This 3D-printed robot can transform from a rover to a drone.
Aerospace engineer Michael Rechtin has created a robot that shifts from a tank-like rover to a quadcopter.
While Michael’s work is a hobby project, universities have been exploring similar designs—like the Morphbot,… pic.twitter.com/pou80mxzCG
