The latest international research: 3D construction can be carried out by animal inspirational flying robots

The latest internationally renowned academic journal "Nature" published an engineering paper. The researchers showed a set of flying robots developed by animals that could build a 3D printing structure during flight. This study shows that future flying robots can provide support for building or important infrastructure in remote or difficult to reach locations.

According to this paper, people have developed ground robots for on -site construction, because they are safer and productive for human architectural staff, but these robots are limited to the maximum height of operating, and large systems need to insert power, thereby reducing the power, which reduces it, which reduces it, which reduces it, which reduces it. Mobility of such robots. On the contrary, "architects" in nature, such as Hornets, termites, and Jiayan, are highly flexible, and they adapt to flight assistants to build nests.

Inspired by these natural "architects", the author of the dissertation, Mirko Kovac, Mirko Kovac, London Empire Institute of Technology, and colleagues and collaborators designed a new type of manufacturing. Under the regulatory of human beings, the cluster built the 3D structure by itself. The BUILDRONE (building drone) they developed, the quality of the StCANDRONE (scanning drone) evaluation structure quality. These robots use foam and cement -like materials to build conceptual verification cylinders, 2.05 meters and 0.18 meters high, respectively. The construction accuracy of these structures is high, reaching 5 mm, which is acceptable in British architecture requirements.

The author believes that with further development, future air robots can help build structures in areas that are difficult to reach, such as dangerous areas, high places, or remote areas with natural disaster risks.
