Gadget News: The spider drone is the latest crazy and scary idea of the Japanese, which may not have many uses, but it can easily earn the title of the scariest drone in the world.
The strange new idea of the Japanese was implemented at the University of Tokyo. A spider drone is a bird with limited multi-directional movement. This Japanese UAV, using its movable and light arms, can have proper maneuvering power and acceptable flight in the final version.
Before getting to the answer to this question, it is better to talk about similar robots and drones. After the labor crisis in Japan and the shortage of labor, robotics companies quickly started to fill the void. Although the University of Tokyo's spider drone is a highly specialized example, it could eventually perform tasks such as inspecting water and sewage systems or sterilizing drainage systems with ease.
Before the production of this robot, other companies had produced similar robots, but in the end, the SPIDAR drone can become an extremely powerful drone due to its walking power.
The presence of mechanical arms in this drone allows the user to use the drone in different environments. For example, when a part of the route must be covered by flying and another part on the ground, this Japanese drone can perform exceptionally well. Also, thanks to the presence of mechanical arms, this drone will no longer have the limitations of previous models of drones with the ability to travel on the ground.
Currently, the Japanese spider drone has significant limitations. As can be seen in the video, the flight of this drone is not very smooth. Besides this issue, another problem is extremely low battery life. According to the University of Tokyo, this robot can fly for about 9 minutes and if it wants to walk like a spider, its battery life will reach 18 minutes.
In any case, this drone is an attractive prototype that can change the future of the world of drones; Of course, this is if the Japanese can remove the current limitations of this robot.
