At Ferrara Drone Show we will present our latest works in the drone field!
After a long period in which we were
very busy with university exams and
with various projects, finally we
found the time to update the news
on our website.
Let's start by saying that in latest
months we worked on some projects
that we will present at Ferrara
Drone Show on the 28th and 29th
of March.
We have developed an electronic
system to precisely control the
release, by the drone, of special
ovules containing numerous eggs
of an insect used in the
treatment against the European
corn borer.
In addition, we have developed
a safety system with parachutes
for drones. This device was
developed to save the drone and,
mainly, the people who are nearby
considering all the possible
problems that can happen during
the flight. In fact, the system
works automatically and
independently from the rest of
the drone, with the purpose of
expelling the parachute when it
detects a problem or when the pilot
is the same to request it.
In this video
you can see two
tests done in which the parachute
is ejected simulating a damage
to a motor and via a radio command.
In latest months we also worked
with SpringLab
for the development
of a wearable safety system
for motorcyclists. The project
is going well, but for obvious
reasons we can't tell you much.
A news worthy of note is the fact
that now we have doubled our 3D
printers. In fact, a few weeks
ago we built another Prusa i3.
Moreover, about 3D printers, we
have started a collaboration with
our friends of Lumi Industries, a
StartUp which is at H-Farm that
develops DLP printers that can
achieve a level of accuracy far
greater than our FDM. Despite that
their printers do not cost much more
than the most common printers with filament.
P.S.
This year we won't celebrate
the Arduino Day, considering that we
haven't been able to get their T-shirt
as gift yet, it's the least we can do.
At the moment we don't have an office,
we are often between Padua and Vicenza.
If you need to meet us, contact us
and we will organize it.
We usually reply quickly, if you don't
get any answer just resend the email
or try another method.
