Swiss Researchers built a robotic aircraft with an 80 cm wingspan that can fly indoors for around four hours while successfully avoiding collision,thanks to two cameras, a gyroscope and a small microcontroller. Small robots like this can be used inside buildings or in tight spaces like caves or tunnels for search-and-rescue, reconnaissance and inspection applications. The robot has been developed by Jean- Christophe Zufferey and Dario Floreano of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. |
