In a significant breakthrough, a group of researchers from the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIIT-H) has been in a position to create an revolutionary unmanned aerial automobile (UAV) which has adjustable arms that aid it to choose packets of distinctive sizes and shapes. Named ‘Elasticopter’, the drone automobile has been created by 24 year-old Suraj Bonagiri from the Robotics Research Center (RRC), IIIT-H, the Indian Express reported. Understood to be a significant breakthrough in the evolution of drone technologies, the UAV is also undergoing by means of the procedure of patent.
One of the most significant elements behind the most current innovation was the limitations of current delivery drones which can adjust to the variations in size but ignore the important aspect of the shape of the packet which is to be delivered. Suraj Bonagiri who created ‘Elasticopter’ told the Indian Express that any forcible fitting and carrying inappropriate payloads can make a drone inefficient, unstable and can even compromise with the security. In contrast the UAV created by Suraj and other researchers is a rectangular shaped drone that has been made with 4 propellers and a versatile chassis which is capable of expansion and collapse in accordance with the packet size/shape. The UAV has also been made in such a way that it does not expertise any mid-air turbulence in the course of its flight.
Prof. Prakash Yalla, who is the Technology Transfer Officer (TTO) and Head of Product Labs, IIIT-H told the Indian Express that the innovation is path breaking and the quadcopter is a drone automobile individuals had been considering about for extended. Explaining the special trait of the device that tends to make the UAV actually path breaking, Prof Yalla stated that apart from getting in a position to move in all directions and capable of holding packages of all sizes, the drone automobile can also expand and contract as per the require of the package without the need of compromising with its stability.
Professor of Co-Innovation, heading the Research/Innovation outreach at IIIT-H Ramesh Loganathan told the Indian Express that Suraj’s style is the culmination of 2 years’ work and investigation on ‘pick and place’ drones had been going on at the institute for years at the Robotic Research Center, IIIT-H
