Unique Properties

Honeycomb is different from other UAVs in its single function attribute, and realizes modular and multi functional applications. The hexagonal frame can be infinitely expanded to add more modules. The more expanded the power module with rotor protection around the stronger the carrying capacity. One of the multi shaft propellers is the main controller responsible for receiving Bluetooth. The other is the auxiliary rotating clockwise and counter clockwise rotating alternately.

Tags

Multi functional, modular, hexagonal expansion.

Production Technology

Circuit board, brushless motor, Bluetooth, strong magnet, airborne sensor, airborne calculation.

Design Challenge

One challenge is how to better combine function and structure, and the other is how to more accurately control the weight of functional modules to achieve flight stability.

Project Duration

The project started in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in June 2020 and ended in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in January 2021.

Operation Flow

UAV functional modules include fire protection, propaganda, seeding, UV sterilization, spray, express. The various functional modules are strongly magnetically adsorbed in the middle of the hexagonal frame, the program is used to plan and control the activities of the drone. The builtin Bluetooth can monitor the position at any time.

Research

Functional modules include fire protection, propaganda, seeding, UV sterilization, spray, express. All modules are connected by strong magnetic 360 degrees, and the connection part is stable. The drone skeleton and modules can be continuously expanded by splicing, and the more modules, the stronger the endurance, the more powerful the functionality.

Inspiration

Most of the existing UAVs are single functional and cannot meet multiple needs, so multi functional UAVs are designed using a modular approach. Its shape is inspired by the honeycomb of a bee, using the hexagonal shape of the honeycomb as its skeleton. The lower part adopts the magnetic adsorption method to assemble multiple functional modules.

Project Overview

Honeycomb Modular Multifunctional Drone has been a Silver winner in the Robotics, Automaton and Automation Design award category in the year 2020 organized by the prestigious A' Design Award & Competition. The Silver A' Design Award celebrates top-tier designs that embody excellence and innovation.
