Meet the Hopcopter. This bizarre pogo stick drone created by a team of scientists from City University of Hong Kong and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology boasts an elastomer-band-loaded rubber-tipped leg that also allows it to hop around.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-176547\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"Adding a telescopic leg beneath a quadcopter to create a hopping drone\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vaZXrgBxoQ4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Adding a telescopic leg beneath a quadcopter to create a hopping drone\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vaZXrgBxoQ4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>When flying as a regular multi-rotor drone, Hopcopter is capable of accelerating downward and then spring-loading the leg upon impact with the ground. It can then leap vertically and horizontally to conserve energy. Switching directions is as easy as flying leg-first in to a sloping or vertical surface.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0BQ2T2TH9\" data-aawp-product-id=\"115199\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"DJI Mini 2 SE Lightweight Mini Drone with QHD Video 10km Max Video Transmission 31-Min Flight Time Under 249 g Auto Return to Home 3-Axis Gimbal Drone with EIS Drone with Camera for Beginners\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/319YtrrZ3LL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"DJI Mini 2 SE, Lightweight Mini Drone with QHD Video, 10km Max Video Transmission, 31-Min Flight Time,...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            DJI Mini 2 SE, Lightweight Mini Drone with QHD Video, 10km Max Video Transmission, 31-Min Flight Time,&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>??????????? ??? ???????? &#8211; The drone is lightweight and compact, weighing&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>?? ???????????? ?????? &#8211; Under 249 g, FAA Registration and Remote ID are not required if&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>???????? ?????? ???? &#8211; Enjoy longer flights with DJI Mini 2 SE, which offers a 31-min max flight&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/14200531\/hopcopter-pogo-stick-drone-2.jpg\" alt=\"Hopcopter Pogo Stick Drone\" width=\"960\" height=\"690\"\/><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>By harnessing multimodal locomotion, the robot is capable of intermittent midflight jumps that result in substantial instantaneous accelerations and rapid changes in flight direction, offering enhanced agility and versatility in complex environments. The passive leg design holds potential for direct integration with conventional rotorcraft, unlocking seamless hybrid hopping and flying locomotion\u201d said the researchers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>[Sources 1 | 2]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .post-content --><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-box\">\n<div class=\"image\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/afb428e7fa743a3919f977c62f43c97a?s=82&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/afb428e7fa743a3919f977c62f43c97a?s=164&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-82 photo\" height=\"82\" width=\"82\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<p>\t\t\t<span class=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Author<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tJackson Chung\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text author-bio\">A technology, gadget and video game enthusiast that loves covering the latest industry news.
