Active stiffening for soft multi-rotor drones
In the emerging field of soft robotics, nature has inspired many engineering innovations that incorporate flexible elements to improve the efficiency and robustness of flight in traditionally rigid drones. However, soft structures pose challenges to the controllability of the drone’s flight due t...

description |
In the emerging field of soft robotics, nature has inspired many engineering
innovations that incorporate flexible elements to improve the efficiency and
robustness of flight in traditionally rigid drones. However, soft structures pose
challenges to the controllability of the drone’s flight due to their flexibility and
easily deformable nature. Hence, this project aims to incorporate the best of both
worlds by implementing an active stiffening system that allows a soft drone to
fly agilely, while being able to morph its shape and conform to its environment.
A stiffening system was implemented on a circular drone, which achieved
stiffening of up to 257% under static conditions. |
