Meet Gimball, a Collision-Tolerant Drone
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2015
- We get a demo of Gimball, an RC multi-rotor that is designed to withstand collisions. The quad itself is housed in a protective sphere, moving freely inside of it using a gimbal system. The idea is that it can fly and bump around in environments too difficult to reach by humans for remote inspection operations.

Thanks for watching!
That is a fantastic design.
I can see countless situations where you'd want a drone that can fly through confined and enclosed areas.
really elegant design
This presenter is like the nicest person.
meanwhile, I added smiley face onto my banana peel
XerosXIII Are you planning a consumer release?
Jonny2myren Currently it still in it early phase and still too early too tell at this stage. However our dev.kit 2 that features a sad face banana will be available this Q3 2015, stay tune!
XerosXIII - I am some big-shot looking to buy into your business with a game changing idea - googly eyes.....
Really cool.
Even though it's obviously just a front to develop manhacks.
RC-1290 Aaaaannd I just heard that whirring clacking-against-walls noise in my head. Thanks.
Great. Now I know what to expect in my dreams tonight.
I actually thought of this, I was planning it for my thesis but I doubt it would work so I cancelled it. You just proved it
This looks like some kind of ball for a new sport. "Come play hover ball today!"
Put a white sheet over it ...
*INSTANT PRANK GHOST !!!*
ooooooooooooooo O_o lol
VL VIDEOS GENIUS!
VL VIDEOS except theres no airflow, so, NO
Alejandro Tejeda Well you could put a few small holes but yeah even then thrust would be greatly reduced
I may be wrong but seems to work more like a vector trust unit. I really need to look more into this one since I have been looking into the field of using these as a job for power plants.
Very very cool, looks like something out of a science fiction movie.
This way of tackling drone impact resistance is a gamechanger. Also, the outside sphere could be used as a platform for other means of transportation, like rolling. Remote activation? Fly it into big red buttons. Might even have a nice game element ready to market with that. New type of e-sport?
Imagine a persistence of vision system (like those spinning LED toys from not too long ago) outfitted on the outside of the gimbal system but inside the sphere. Floating, flying, controllable spheres of visual awesomeness!
Very cool, and great to safely look at the world!
Thank you for calling it a Multirotor instead of a drone. Be nice if your editor would do the same when posting.
Behemothokun Can it take a navigation path without input from for the tx?

It is how the media has demonized we as fliers trying to coin the word "drone" when people that know nothing about these items think of them as the same "drones" used by the military. It scares the ignorant. In my state the senate tried to ban them based on fears they knew nothing about. This was at least a year before someone flew on on to the the White House lawn.
Even after months of telling my dad they are not even close to the same thing when I finally went to him and flew over his house a few times and finally got they are no where near the same thing. It is like people that think the AR in AR-15 stands for "Assault Rifle" when the term "Assault Rifle" wasn't even invented until 30 years after the AR-15 was created.
It is a dangerous slope to be using such terms with the same terms as the military when the two items, be it the multirotor("drone") or the AR-15(M-16..."Assault Rifle), that are really not the same at all. Only people that study said items know that each item is vastly different from the other. But by the media (News,Social,Vloggers) use these terms people will jump the the wrong conclusion. Kind of like if were to call Prius a Forumla-1 car. I mean they both have 4 wheels and move from point A to point B but indeed are vastly different.

Yea it is a big topic here where states are banning any unmanned radio control aircraft. It was very close in my state but when my group found out about it we made a pretty big stink over it. I hear it is a big issue in New Zealand as well. As we are basically saying knowledge is power just wish more people had the knowledge and that media stopped trying to get views by scaring people.
They thankfully stopped that nonsense a few months ago
except in the description. Der
If Battle Bots ever started an Aerial only competition, I wonder how many people would be using this.
There is an areal battle bots, tested made a video on it about a month ago
It is called Game of Drones or the ASL
Levi Madden Thats an ad for Google lol
WhoooLovesOrangeSoda wat?
WhoooLovesOrangeSoda The current season of Battlebots allows for drones/multirotor/flying units, but they haven't actually been used yet.
Some nice camera work there joey
this is really nice, looks like a flying gyro!
That is a really cool Multirotor.
FuYing Bro Didn't you hear the man? he said it more than just a few times,it's a robot. ;-)
But i'm with you it's a multirotor or should i say a doublerotor. ;-)
Enrique Iglesias should use this one in his concerts.
Angel Luis Trinidad I laughed so hard !
Angel Luis Trinidad hahaha!
Angel Luis Trinidad Only if he removes the protective shell.
I don't think he quite realized the level of free advertisement he just got lol.
i love invitations like this. ppl have been focusing on more and more blades were as thees guys found a way to have a better drone with less blades.
It seems like it would be a super-safe design for flying around people and over crowds.
It does have a rather obvious issue when it comes to using it was a camera platform though.
Great concept. Extremely functional.
Really nice approach!
awesome!
Eduardo Rosario esta mortal ese diseño
Glad to see you end with a handshake Norm.... Try to always do it
I like how the pilot is Adam Jensen from Deus Ex Human Revolution. That is pretty cool.
"Flyability" is now my favorite brand name pun.
Two cameras connected in stereo would help alleviate any problems caused by the the protective sphere.
Tracy Coxon Make the cage thin enough and they would be so far out of focus you couldn't see them anyway. ;)
That looks extremely cool. Yet again I'm almost turned on my gyroscopes...
Could you guys PLEASE build TARS from Interstellar!! I want to built one but I need something to guide from or if you guys decide to sell it I would love to see how much lol I doubt I'll have enough but I would save up for it!
I guess its only problem would be its bars getting in the way when it comes to camera work.
Now if they really want to show how strong it is they should bring it into the ring at the ASL aerial combat
Wow, that is TIGHT.
Interesting concept - this might really have use in dangerous area where it might have to knock into stuff
Curious what they are using for a controller... frequency being a limiting factor when communicating with the device flying in industrial or outside of LOS.
finally a drone that is really usefull, looks like the drones they use in Prometheus (2012) to scan and map the inside of the spaceship..
maybe there is a future for that ^^ nice
How do they prevent gimbal lock?
That's really awesome
Imagine making a life size craft that you can get inside and fly, don't have to worry about hitting things, unless you drop out of the sky.
Would be perfect for game of drones
Very cool
Floating orbs to scout areas, we star wars now.
Great work sir... I'm interested in working on this project.. can I know some details about your drone!!
1. Make this automatically recharge, add two to a restaurant and make landing pads on tables.
2. Go rich.
That is dope.
amazing
I wonder how can one change the battery 0.o
its kind of surprising that two rotors are capable of moving all that.
...'tis very cool indeed!
They should probably think about making a cheaper version for kids, because this is perfect for a little kid that crashes into everything.
The protection will be in the way of a camera though and always show up on the video.
StarCrusher yeah but when it comes to search and rescue then that really doesn't matter too much... you will still be able to see whats important and the grid will be out of focus most of the time anyways...
*****
That's why I think their idea of bringing this to the industrial and law enforcement sector is brilliant.
But I'm not sure what the consumer market for this would be, aside from learning to fly maybe.
StarCrusher let's be honest... Drones and the likes ain't really for the consumer market anyway unless you're some amateur camera man or an rc aircraft enthusiast
Miniaturize it and you have the Lightsaber practice drone from Starwars a new hope :D
thats awesome
cute little tiger motors.. had those on my qav... if they are the 2000kv versions
Also i feel like i have seen these before..
www.amazon.com/Robotic-Channel-Flying-Control-Helicopter/dp/B0090RM2WS
also could still just use a quad and it would be much easier to transport, mount cameras and hardware and repair if needed
www.lumenier.com/products/multirotors/danaus/danaus-build-manual
Develops a multirotor that tolerates impacts...snags on everything.
Reminds me of guilty spark from halo.
Two words : gimbal lock
Anyone else thinking these flying gimbal multi-rotors look like prototypes of the fallout 3 ED-E Eyebot's
didnt Japan already made sphere drone??
Reminds me of Half-Life 2 security drones.
It's the Oracle
The flight mechanics remind me of an Enclave Eyebot.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Jeej free money
As soon as batteries can stand a couple of hours of uninterrupted flight we are gonna have Iain Banks Culture like drones following us everywhere. ^_^
Damian Reloaded Impossible, unless they invent a fission battery
I'd say 2hs isn't really that crazy. The best current state of the art drones can last around 20 minutes. We just need 5X efficiency/storage improvement. Aluminium batteries are told to be able to charge in a matter of minutes (single digit). So we aren't that far me thinks. ^_^
ZAKKORD Impossible? You realize the mars rover Curiosity is nuclear battery powered with no solar cells on board, right?
Damian Reloaded or more efficient motors and equipment
Amazing that it can fly, but, for how long..
Just add a circular saw....and we have reached Half-Life 2 ;D
I want to play quidditch with it
Okay, very cool, but how is it a "quad" if it doesn't have four propellers? Really, it's even in the word itself, quadcopter - four copters.
no payload, unclear camera vision... may be useful as many(hundreds) inch size camera/drones for digital mapping some disaster area.
so this is what it's like being nicolas cage
Game of Drones anyone?
More like feathery touch tolerant?
Mrepifany if you bump into a wall during an indoor flight, you probably won't go in full throttle, but lightly.
It's an icosphere, that's some Deus Ex shit :D
demonstrate its abilities with some real collisions...
can't be a quad with only two blades
pandaManda22 Way more primative. It's even older tech like 1950's coaxial helicopter or 2004 rc tech, this is not cutting edge. Public promo for darpa not the real stuff.
Bouncy Bouncy
Shoop Da Woop Wanna come to my place? ;)
You'll pay my plane ticket ?
combine pneubotics with modular prosthetic
Shit i thought that too. But couldn't make it
Looks only tolerant towards static objects like walls, floors, ceilings etc.. $50 if I hit it, it would still crash. Maybe they should look at new ways of handling collisions like say ..better pilots? *cough* metalldanny *cough*
budget, male pattern baldness Ryan gosling

Cool robot
W\ould be nice if you all would stop using the term drone for these, they aren't drones
Anibal Perez Technically, it isn't a robot either. It's an RC multi-rotor.
Anibal Perez
Pretty sure these fit the common definition of drone.
logitech4873 Some take offence to the word "drone" because they believe it has a negative connotation, and often instead prefer "multirotor". Judging by the usage of "drone", it'll continue gaining popularity as propagated by its evoking perception and simplicity as a word, while the suspected negative connotation fades. Personally, I think "drone" sounds catchy and badass whereas "multiroter" sounds a bit childish, but whatever.
MRTOWELRACK Americans love to make up euphemisms for words that have any negative connections.
logitech4873 Yep, calling it a multi-rotor doesn't change the fact it's still an unmanned aerial vehicle. Therefore the 'drone' slang still covers it.
