A morphing cargo drone for safe flight in proximity of humans
2020
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters
Delivery drones used by logistics companies today are equipped with unshielded propellers, which represent a major hurdle for in-hand parcel delivery. The exposed propeller blades are hazardous to unsuspecting bystanders, pets, and untrained users. One solution to provide safety is to enclose a drone with an all-encompassing protective cage. However, the structures of existing cage designs have low density in order to minimize obstruction of propeller airflow, so as to not decrease efficiency.
