Robot with perching mechanism developed by Mirko Kovac
Posted By: Priyanka Ohri | Jul 2 2010
Mirko Kovac of the Switzerland-based EPFL Laboratory of Intelligent Systems has developed a 4.6 grams glider robot that can fly into any surface, perch and then detach on command. The basic idea behind this creation was the foreseeing of a scenario where gliders could be fitted with sensors like heat sensors or cameras and be deployed on far reach areas for the purposes of monitoring and surveillance.
