[QUOTE="SirThomas, post: 83940, member: 16273"] Looks like your idea may be just a little ahead of its time: [I]Yale University researchers have designed an observational drone designed to perch like a bird to save energy, using grippers to grab onto anything smaller than its opening width. The drone comes with three controllable fingers tipped with "contact modules," or attachments that function as the connecting point to objects. This allows the drone to switch off two rotors, consuming about 45% less energy.
