Design of aerial dispersal miniature detection robotic system

Detection in natural disasters or man-made disasters is more and more in important for every countries. Aerial dispersal miniature robots are very suitable for carrying the task above mentioned. However, the aerial dispersal deployment mode of miniature mobile robot demands excellent anti-impact property. Moreover, another crucial problem resulted from the small volume of miniature robots is the difficulty of packing locomotion, sensing, computing and power subsystems into constrained space. To solve the problems above-mentioned, a kind of aerial dispersal miniature detection robotic system was presented in the paper. Moreover, anti-impact experiments showed that the robot has excellent capability of anti-impact. At last, the experiments also showed that the design of the miniature semiautonomous detection robot reliable and practical.
