SMORS: A soft multirotor UAV for multimodal locomotion and robust interaction
Markus Ryll,Robert K. Katzschmann,Markus Ryll,Robert K. Katzschmann
We present SMORS, the first Soft fully actuated MultirOtoR System for multimodal locomotion. Unlike conventional hexarotors, SMORS is equipped with three rigid and three continuously soft arms, with each arm hosting a propeller. We create a bridge between the fields of soft and aerial robotics by mechanically coupling the actuation of a fully actuated flying platform with the actuation of a soft r...
