The drone is called DRAGON, which is somehow an acronym for the tongue twisting description “Dual-Rotor Embedded Multilink Robot with the ... with a 2-DOF actuated joint between each segment.

Recently, a variety of robotic systems have been studied under the umbrella term of modular reconfigurable robotics. Unlike conventional fixed-morphology robots, whose performance is usually confined ...

Modular Fluidic Propulsion (MFP) is a novel concept for modular reconfigurable robots that promises to combine effective propulsion, a large reconfiguration space, and a scalable design. MFP robots ...
