Robotic system for civil infrastructure inspection

This is a robot designed to inspect buildings and other structures. It uses propellers to fly and wheels to drive or climb surfaces. The propellers can be mounted on support arms, or arranged with some facing upwards and others downwards for different flight dynamics.

Why it matters: The complex hybrid control for flight and ground locomotion has become more feasible. Over the past two years, advancements in embedded processing power and real-time operating systems have made integrating such sophisticated control logic more practical.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHybrid flight and locomotion control software
