Protection of sensitive components of a quadrocopter in case of a fall
In the course of a robotics project, students equipped quadrocopters with miniature shock absorbers. In order to avoid costly repairs and associated downtime when researching flight characteristics and learning how to use the helicopter, the prospective academics installed the self-adjusting ACE SC650 miniature shock absorbers on both the top and bottom of the helicopter. These reliably protect the batteries, three-phase drives, sensors and an optionally integrated camera from damage in case of a crash.
