Seoul National University of Science and Technology researchers develop a 3 kg carrying, uneven terrain navigating 'Palletrone' drone.

Researchers from Seoul National University of Science and Technology have developed the 'Palletrone,' a transport drone designed to function as a "flying shopping cart." This drone can carry up to 3 kg and navigate uneven terrains, like stairs, using flexible rotors and a balance-maintaining algorithm. Future applications may include uncrewed flying taxis and mid-air battery swaps. Their findings were published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.
