Comments on Yale Aerial Manipulator Flying Robotic Hand
Just think of all the possible uses of a flying robotic hand. (Read
the complete story)
| "reminds me of the Prowler 1000 droid from Star Wars:

| "Thanks - here's the picture:
" |
| "Flight speeds of nearly 80 mph? Dang, that's fast, especially for a helicopter that small!" (Dewtey 8/30/2010 6:58:32 AM) |
| "You're right, that does sound too speedy, particularly when fully loaded. I'll ask the same question at the source site. In the meantime, check out this descriptive paper from the GRAB Lab - Hovering Ability of Helicopters with Elastic Constraints.
After all, how often do you run across the word syndactylic,referring to the fact that the robotic hand's fingers are fused together?" |
| "The author of the Technology Review post confirmed that the helicopter (which I regrettably [and unintentionally] demeaned as a 'toy') would indeed go that fast.
"The researchers confirmed that 130 km/hr is the helicopter spec (measured by radar gun), though they themselves have not tried to fly it that quickly.
They also add that it's not correct to think of it as a toy helicopter, despite its size. At around $3,000, the helicopter has a powerful rotor that would cause serious injury if someone came in contact with it."" |
| "What could this be used for?" (burt 9/3/2010 1:32:43 PM) |
| "Burt, on the GRAB lab website, they say that it could be used for "object retrieval, highspeed courier services, intelligence gathering, and explosives disposal."" (Bill Christensen 9/3/2010 1:38:02 PM) |
| "Grab one of them IEDs or landmines in Iraq and Afganistan and fly them a safe distance away before setting them off. You'd prolly want to get the GRAB away from it too (although $3000 might be considered disposable by army standards).
" ( 9/5/2010 12:59:02 AM) |
| "That is exactly the use (or one of the uses) that the designers of the Yale Aerial Manipulator have in mind!" (Bill Christensen 9/5/2010 2:42:23 PM) |
