NEW drones include a mothership, minis and the intention to assist in search-and rescue operations.

The dubbed “drone mother ship” can release mini “worker bee” drones to areas of need.

Dzmitry Tesserukou and colleagues from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skolkovo) in Moscow, Russia created the MorphoLande. New Scientist.

The hybrid drone carrier is capable of delivering smaller drones, which can fly above, land and even walk.

MorphoLander is equipped with four legs, which allows it to walk and land in uneven terrain.

You can support mini drones while maintaining an even position.

“The MorphoLander is a hybrid drone that can fly over, land on, and walk across rough terrain before launching tiny drones from its back could be useful for search-and-rescue operations,” New Scientist said.

It is necessary to use a carrier drone system because the large drone has less battery power and small drones are able to fly around for longer on missions.

“Meet MorphoLander: a carrier drone equipped with smaller drones on its back,” Video New Scientist has said.

“It can navigate rough terrain and fly, but only has a battery life of 12 minutes.

“The smaller drones have a longer flight time and can carry out separate missions.

“This could let the system provide a longer flying time in search and rescue missions.”
