As anxious passengers are often reassured, commercial aircrafts can easily continue to fly even if one of the engines stops working. But for drones with four propellers - also known as quadcopters - the failure of one motor is a bigger problem. With only three rotors working, the drone loses stability and inevitably crashes unless an emergency control strategy sets in.
Researchers at the University of Zurich and the Delft University of Technology have now found a solution to this problem: They show that information from onboard cameras can be used to stabilize the drone and keep it flying autonomously after one rotor suddenly gives out.

one of the biggest challenges to doing work in rescue robotics is not the robotics. it s the everything else. you re going to a different world. it s really challenging to be at a disaster. there is a physiological and psychological impact of that. it really takes quite a toll. so you have to be really good at what you re doing. but my job is so incredibly fulfilling. it s about the size and the technology and the way it could be used for societal good. that s a big deal to me.
