Micro Air Vehicles: STANFORD DRONE - Tiny toy planes

Length: 39", Max Weight: 0.8 LB

Stick Around
At Stanford University's Biomimetics and Dexterous Manipulation Lab, professor Mark Cutkosky is developing a drone that can land on walls using sticky feet. The plane executes a deliberate stall as it approaches a wall and turns its underbelly to face the vertical surface. Flexible legs absorb the shock of impact. Tiny claws on the feet give the aircraft a tenacious grip, allowing it to crawl around and reorient before taking off again.
