A robotics team at ASU developed a first-of-its-kind quadrotor drone with both an inflatable frame and a novel gripper for collision resilience.
The fragility of current drone designs makes them susceptible to damage, thus limiting their use in search and rescue missions.
It is crucial for emergency response teams to promptly locate any gaps or openings in the debris of a building where survivors could potentially be trapped and to do so before potential hazards such as natural gas leaks, mains water flooding, or unstable concrete slabs further endanger survivors. Even tinier insects like flies make use of both collision and perching techniques, and their compliant bodies aid in reducing the force of impact.. In the team's paper, this is referred to as SoBAR—a soft-bodied aerial robot.
