Rotor Array Synergies for Aerial Modular Reconfigurable Robots

Benjamin Moshirian,Pauline E.I. Pounds,Benjamin Moshirian,Pauline E.I. Pounds

Aerial Modular Reconfigurable Robots (AMRRs) are scalable systems consisting of rotor modules capable of rearrangement during flight. The potential to dynamically change any shape for a given task poses the question: what arrangements offer the most aerodynamic benefit for the task of flying? Answering this requires understanding how adjacent rotors in various configurations influence each another...
