Université de Sherbrooke researchers demonstrate a new approach to landing multirotors on steep, irregular ice surfaces Cats may seem an unlikely source of inspiration for drone landing gear. But retractable claws helped researchers at Canada’s Université de Sherbrooke address a difficult problem: landing a drone on steep, slippery ice. The result is the Ice Dart, a … [Read more...] about Cat-Inspired Claws Help Ice Dart Drone Land on Steep Ice

Helping Drones Land on Steep Rooftops: Check Out This Video
Many operators have learned the hard way that landing drones on steep roofs is almost impossible. Now, researchers at the Université de Sherbrooke have developed landing gear that allows a quadcopter drone to land even on a steep surface - which could have major implications for the commercial drone industry. The shock absorbing landing gear means that the quad can land … [Read more...] about Helping Drones Land on Steep Rooftops: Check Out This Video
