Fly and crawl copter

Abstract

Originally created by nir meiri and David Zarrouk ,and named as “Flying STAR, a Hybrid Crawling and Flying Sprawl Tuned Robot”. And was presented at “2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation(ICRA). Flying STAR (FSTAR) a recognizable hybrid flying quadcopter robt. FSTAR is a quad copter fitted with sprawling mechanism and propellers allowing it to both run and fly over obstacles or run underneath obstacles while touching the ground. The robot can reduce it’s width to crawl in confined obstacles while touching the ground. We first described the idea behind this project in which design, mechanism and manufacturing details of components also the hardware and software requirements & it’s specifications also the calculations for selecting components, force strategy for flying quadcopter as well mechanism for crawling over land also discussed quadcopter coordinate systems & Electronic hardware computation. Since the project is mostly designed for military purpose to camouflage/ hide & proceed further either by air or by land .
