The circuit shows a greatly improved sensing over the Sandia bots as it includes infrared sensors to detect whether it is on the ground and even perform obstacle detection or follow a line.
The DelFly II is basically a 16-gram ornithopter that can fly for at least 15 minutes at a maximum speed of 30mph while taking off and landing vertically and can even fly backwards.
The project uses a microcontroller as the processor to enable communication among sensors, processors, and motors while creating the Dynamic Arm as the world’s first microprocessor-controlled adaptive arm.
The project creates a robotic are that is made mostly from woods which is controlled by a PIC microcontroller and cloned PS/1 controller and with a lot of functionalities that any normal robotic arm can have.
