modular drons
Modular drones offer attractive options for addressing demanding mission requirements without having to build monolithic and large machines. Several such drones have been designed, built, and flown at Georgia Tech's Decision and Control (DCL) laboratory and KAUST's Robotics, Intelligent Systems, and Control (RISC) laboratory. These drones attempt to address some of the perceived weaknesses of prior industrial and academic designs, including lack of structural integrity and possible identity confusion among the modules. Coincidentally, some of the designs echo the fractal kites designed by Alexander Graham Bell more than a century ago and still built and flown today.
