>>> Unmanned aerial surveillance aircraft
The unmanned aerial flap, MAV , wingspan of 28cm, weighs 20 grams, is just a little bit more A4 paper, integrated visual management system - stereo 4 grams of weight including 2 cameras and processors.
Automatic rudder weighs only 1 gr, incorporating barometers, accelerators and gyroscopes. Fully charged battery will help DelFly Explorer operate continuously for 9 minutes. Algorithms and sensors help MAV take off, navigate, avoid obstacles without human help.
The prototype of the DelFly Explorer is being tested in a room. The next step is to use the gap to fly through the window or door to reach other places. Gizmag reports that DelFly Explorer has surpassed the record for its unmanned drifter , the DelFly Micro , which has been recognized by Guinness.
