Drone Six-legged spider, equipped with Linux Computers
Drone that is now most often found on the market are designed to be able to fly. But a startup from Spain, Erle Robotics have different ideas by
forming a spider drone design which they call by the name of
Erle-Spider.
Drone is also claimed to be able to do various things. With a six-legged design, the spider drones can be used to pass a difficult path to reach by humans. Although of course, these drones can not be used to photograph the landscape in bird view as well as drones that can fly.Not only has an interesting design with six legs, the drone is also capable of carrying a heavier load than the drone fly. Technologies on the spider drone was not kidding. Erle Robotics refer to computers that exist on homemade drones with the name Erle Brain 2.Erle
Brain 2 is an onboard computer-based Ubuntu Linux that it is equipped
quad-core processor ARM Cortex-A7 900MHz and 1GB of RAM. Various sensors embedded in the drone was this, among them the gravity
sensor, gyroscope, digital compass, pressure sensors and temperature
sensors.This drone can be controlled using a wireless controller that has been prepared. The team that developed this robot also said that they would prepare
the existence of an Android application that there are many who want a
spider drone control via smartphones.Erle-Spider robot drones is also now in the process of raising funds through crowdfunding site Indiegogo. To be able to acquire drones this unique design, the cost to be paid the minimum amounts to 439 USD. According to the plan, this drone was going to start to be sent to donors in December.
