DRIVING & FLYING ROBOTS

Hybrid Driving! Fly without any Obstacle and Colliding!

Introducing the latest version in robots that can drive on the ground without any obstacle, fly independently without colliding with each other could go beyond the flying car concept. A roboticist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and his colleagues said that this is the strangest robot because usually robots were performing their best at one mode of transportation, but the latest robots have ability to both fly and walk like a bird.

The robot has been developed with the installed program build –in that can both fly and drive with setting itself a safe path, parking spot, landing pad, in shortly the robot can find its own safe path without colliding with each other, while previous developed robot named “flying monkey” that could drive and fly but couldn’t find the safe routes by itself. The robot has two small motors with wheels on the bottom for driving that can run away 826 feet (252 meters) before the batteries ran out and fly about 295 feet (90 meters) from the ground. It has been tested in a miniature town decorated with a complete set–up that must be for a robot, this robot successfully navigated from a starting point to an ending point on collision-free paths. So it is a complete and latest robot that has a range of important applications in the future for taking benefits.

The researchers said the driving apparatus that reduces the battery life so slightly than flying apparatus because the flying with added weight consumes more battery. The scientist noted that driving more efficient that flying.

Vehicle that combines flying and driving is the most important for robotic working because both have potential much more efficient and much more useful than vehicles. The current system of robotic strength certainly isn’t robust to carry people right now. The scientists are looking for developing and experiment of various ideas of flying cars.
