Most modern drones are designed effectively which allows you to move only in one or two directions. For example, the usual location of the screws in the upper part of the aircraft gives a good lift, but allows you to move only in a position parallel to the ground, preventing “roll over”, that can be a big problem in conditions of strong wind. A completely different approach is used Omnicopter drone, propellers which are arranged so that the apparatus is equally effective to move in any direction and, in fact, has neither “top” nor “bottom”.
For a successful flight and execution teams have developed a special software generator the trajectory, taking into account all the parameters of behavior in the air. 1 second ON the UAV can perform the calculation of the order of 500 000 trajectories to choose the best and give the appropriate commands to the motors of the device. This approach makes it extremely unusual looking drone is very maneuverable. For developing responsible engineers Dario Brescianini and Raffaello D’andrea from the Swiss Federal Institute of technology, located in Zurich.
Swiss technology specialists can have great success in the field of air transport and transportation facilities, as is easily scalable and can be applied even in a fairly large aircraft. Now for these purposes, “ordinary” helicopters and multi-rotor drones that have much smaller range of possible movements. At the moment the weak point is a complex manual control device. While the creators aimed at maximum simplification and improvement to monitor the flight. At the moment we are developing intelligent control systems with the use of cameras with high resolution. Their use will enable the UAV to perform movements with very high accuracy.
