    I feel like they spent the majority of their budget making their CG promotional video. There is less than ten seconds of footage of it actually flying.

    This is really awesome but I'm not sure how this could possibly be more efficient then a quad rotor since they produce constant thrust.

      This is fake. It cant fly with such small wings. Look at real dragonfly and her wings/body ratio, and then look at this robot. Where is battery ? Is it so small, that it's not visible ? So, how long this robot can "function" (I doubt it can fly) with such small battery ?

    • @OdinzEinherjar
      @OdinzEinherjar 10 лет назад +7

      Andrelo1111 WTF? You just witnessed it fly at the start of the video,its not fake,its not made of lead is it so it does fly and it costs over a grand.

      It can hover and glide . Principle takeaway ? Flies , birds and cockroaches are at the back of R&D's ' vending machine . We , on the consumer level see whats at the front . Quite literally, 1984 is now a cliche . And yes , even cloaking or really assimilation with its surface

  • @Lemmingcave
    @Lemmingcave 10 лет назад +20

    a few questions:
    - How long does the battery last? I guess no more then half an hour.
    - How stable is it in wind?
    - Why would it be better then a QC drone if it can't carry a load?
    - The army uses even smaller drones then these already, then why would you use this one?
    - How much sound does it produces? (if used for spionage missions)
    - How will it ever protect your house if they just can carry it whit them?
    - Why does every promotional video lies?

      It is really sickening, when kids eagerly try do make them for their school or college projects, to see these Dragon Lies, flutter hopelessly on the dirt instead of the clouds!
      Plain lure to get funds and sales offers and investments from those - - - - s who believe in these younsters.
      Too bad from the Scientific Perspective.

    I have numerous questions...
    1. When will they be available for purchase?
    2. Do the different wing styles work together (i.e. Bat wing + Dragonfly wing)?
    3. Does the camera on the Dragonfly send live video feed to the controller?
    If you would answer these questions I would be very happy :D

  • @CodyWolfeVevo
    @CodyWolfeVevo 11 лет назад +4

    Looks like it would be no where near as stable as a quadcopter even with the gyroscopes it would probably shake around no way you'd get a steady video out of it.

  • @Atristiel

    Does it have to be programmed to follow and at what altitude/speed/distance etc. or can AI judge it on its own? To act as a mobile security camera do you have to program its patrolling path or does AI patrol the desired area accordingly avoiding obstacles, following corridors, air vents etc.? What are its AI capabilities?

    • @krap101
      @krap101 10 лет назад

      fluchter1996 I'm not following the project at all, I'm just estimating based on how ornithopters soak up power and that batteries on that scale suck... although I did think that 2-3 minutes was a little generous...

    • @krap101
      @krap101 10 лет назад +1

      fluchter1996 I spent a few years working on stuff like this, and fixed wing and/or rotor based aircraft are inefficient at very small scales (like insects). The issue with these types of craft is that we don't have good actuators for this type of motion. They typically use servos or motors but there are some developing technologies to more closely replicate muscles... but until then flappers are going to be pretty bad...

    • @krap101
      @krap101 10 лет назад

      What would make this impressive if they were able to add more than 1DOF per wing... I think dragonflies have at least 2 active DOF (frequency and sweep), where pitch might be passively controlled...

    It seems to me that to make this thing useful for surveillance would take a camera with size, weight, and image stabilization technologies more advanced than what it takes to make it fly. But if they can deliver what they promise, it will be a really impressive device.

How long can the fly doing the video recording? How much will it cost for security capability? Does it has the capabilities to escape from intruder trying to use a net catching them?

    What's the typical battery life? Assuming that it's flying the whole time, using a camera and GPS?
    I couldn't find anything specific for this on the main website.

    Does it come with warranty? If so, how long and any limitations? E.g. if I accidently slam this insect into a wall and break insect's nose, is it covered or is it considered negligence? Also, how do I control this insect..via my cell only or can I also use my laptop?

    i know what these guys should do with this. if they manage to make a fully autonomous controls, whether through external controls (ie a program running on a computer communicating with the robot from a ways away) or internal controls (basic programming loaded on the robot), and if they continue making it smaller, they need to make plant pollinators. Robotic bees for commercial use.

    Will these ever be able to be purchased indefinitely from your website? If so, when would the estimated time be?
