However, some drones are taking more aggressive moves in exploring new "plays." If your impression of a drone is still on aerial photography and pesticide application, then you may be surprised at these new explorations. I believe these next three unmanned opportunities will make you shine.
The "long arm" drone, this time playing a remote "grabbing doll"
You may have seen the unmanned aircraft that delivered the courier, but unmanned aerial vehicles with “long†robotic arms are not yet common. The drone developed by Japan's drone company, Dr Drone, is a modified PD6B-AW-ARM model drone with a robotic arm. Judging from its actions, it looks like it is a flying robot.
The PD6B-AW-ARM has a body weight of 18.8kg, a height of approximately 800mm, a diameter of 686mm, a maximum load of 20kg, a maximum speed of 60km/h, and a battery capacity of 16000mAh-20000mAh, capable of flying for 10-30 minutes. When equipped with a robotic arm, remote control allows the robotic arm to perform operations such as water surface rescue, inspection of harmful items, and delivery of complex terrain items. It plays an important role in places that are difficult for humans to reach.
Since there are some complicated and dangerous things to do, it is natural to overcome various kinds of bad weather. The PD6B-AW-ARM's body is waterproof, so it can also work outdoors under the adverse weather of wind and rain. Compared to traditional drones, this drone capable of remotely operating the "grasping doll" looks more practical.
At present, the price of this drone has not yet been announced, but it can be imagined that in some professional fields, such drones may be more and more.
Lego drone drones, drones also grab from the doll
Speaking of toy blocks, everyone first thinks about Lego. But what do you think of when connecting LEGO with drones? This time, LEGO has brought a building block drone that will allow you to DIY. It may be able to meet your requirements that you like to get started and want to be cool.
The building block drone kit called Flybrix includes eight motors, eight propellers, a programmable Arduino motherboard and enough Lego blocks. You can use your most powerful imagination and hands-on ability to create a four-axis, six-axis or eight-axis drone. You can even work with your partner to create two drones that can be connected together. flight. Its flight time will not be long, but it also depends on the combination you use.
Thanks to the use of LEGO building blocks, the overall freedom and expansion are very high. You can transform this small drone into various spaceships and add your favorite LEGO people. After you are skilled, it takes only 15 minutes at the fastest and you can build a drone.
At present, Flybrix is ​​priced at US$149 (about RMB1,150). If it is used as a toy, its price is still relatively high. But as a flying drone, it's good to buy it back and play it.
