TU Delft Algorithm Enables Drones to Transport Heavy Payloads Together

Researchers at TU Delft in the Netherlands have developed an algorithm that allows multiple autonomous drones to work together to control and transport heavy payloads, even in windy conditions.

“A single drone can only carry a very limited load,” explained Sihao Sun, a robotics researcher at TU Delft.

The algorithm is suitable for reaching and maintaining hard-to-reach infrastructure, such as offshore wind turbines, where harsh weather and limited payload capacity can make it difficult for current drones to operate safely and effectively.

Author's summary: TU Delft develops drone algorithm for heavy payload transport.
