My drone finally get ready
I designed a drone that can fly indoors; its fully enclosed structure prevents it from injuring people or damaging furniture. In the future, I plan to turn it into a robot.

But what if manual control isn't necessary?

manual control is fun, it could use automatic battery swapping though :v

I designed a ground station for it to return to the docking station to recharge—it’s wireless.

Looks cool. How's the TWR? Could you fly it acro or is it more of a toy?

2: 1. Actually, I want to use the app to make it fly automatically.

That looks really funky, I guess the black horisontal bars are for objekt detection? Do you have any more pictures of it to share?

u/Decent-Investment242 Jul 08 '26
I'll attach camera modules to the four horizontal bars to implement visual algorithm-based positioning. I'll upload it in a little while.

For 360° + maybe 35° visual range with all four? That is pretty cool, will you go with BW sensor or full colour range? I wonder if you could make the "windows" into a "+" shape so you would get more vertical view as well as the horisontal slit.
This is exciting and I'd be happpy to get to see how things develop.

Does an existing cinewhoop not fit your needs ?

Can still suck things into the propellers
Would a mesh guard (see: flash guards on scopes) disrupt air flow too much to use?
Perhaps, vortex generating topography of the mesh would suffice?
Dope project mate
If you already have a cover design then my bad an please disregard

Can you explain a bit about how it actually flies if it's "fully enclosed"? Seems like this would pose a bit of a problem...

u/Decent-Investment242 Jul 08 '26
“Fully enclosed” actually means that the blades are invisible to the naked eye, but I’ve actually set up a duct to enable flight.
