24 JETLINE <strong>marvel</strong> I January 2015 Pushing the Boundaries with “EGenius” Technology Airbus is a primary sponsor of the electronically-propelled two-seat eGenius aircraft, which pushes the limits of electronic flight. Airbus also is looking at emission-free electric propulsion, and is supporting basic research activities for electric aircraft concepts. The “eGenius” technology demonstrator, an electrically-propelled two-seater aircraft designed by the University of Stuttgart, Germany’s Institute of Aircraft Design was presented for the first time at the international Aero-Expo in Friedrichshafen, Germany, in 2011. Six weeks later, “eGenius” performed its maiden flight. This aircraft features an electric propulsion system which pushes the limits of electric flight to a power level of 60kW. In the following flight test campaign, the flight envelope will be enlarged continuously by verifying the electric propulsion’s flight performance and reliability. Airbus, as main sponsor of the “eGenius” project, is examining the long-term potential of electricity as alternative major onboard energy source. The data collected from the practical operation with the “eGenius” aircraft will be analysed by Airbus’ Future Projects teams to further develop the technology and better understand its opportunities. Airbus introduces hybrid “RFID Integrated Nameplates” for tracing parts across all aircraft families This market-driven development combines the function of a conventional nameplate and a RFID tag into one compact, durable and lightweight hybrid device. These tags will contribute to value-chain visibility, error-proof identification and efficiency savings in the lifecycle and configuration management of traceable components. To help support this initiative, Airbus has widened its range of RFID tag suppliers by selecting Brady and Fujitsu to supply the RFID Integrated Nameplates. This latest move to apply RFID tags for internal traceable parts follows the introduction of RFID tags on maintainable parts on its A350 XWB aircraft in 2010 and subsequently seats and life vests across its fleet in 2012. Radio-frequency identification tags (which contain electronically stored information) can be attached to objects so they can be automatically identified and tracked by utilizing electromagnetic fields to transfer data. this can provide significant improvements to the accuracy, control and efficiency of operational processes. Domi-Copter: Delivering Pizza by Unmanned Helicopter Last week Domino’s, an international franchise pizza delivery corporation, announced its pizza delivery innovation by posting a new video on Youtube. The innovation we are talking about is DomiCopter, an unmanned helicopter, designed to deliver you a pizza. Wouldn’t it would be great if a pizza will be delivered to you by air? It would be a way faster, because this kind of vehicle would avoid all traffic jams etc. Yet, we don’t know yet if this is just a publicity trick or a real innovation, that one day will be applied in practice. What do you think? Will pizzas be delivered by unmanned aerial vehicles in the future? Share your opinion in the comments section below! .2. Craft-to-Craft Communication How a message gets from the cockpit to the landing gear, rudder, or anywhere else, is a relatively self-contained problem, not too different from the controls found in land-based vehicles. But how vehicles talk to each other is another issue. In a video that went viral, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania orchestrated miniature quad-rotors to play the James Bond theme. The bots knew each other’s location, and avoided collision, thanks to a central system that plotted their locations in space. The U.S. Air Force recently released a video showing how tiny drones will soon be able to similarly swarm together for the purposes of surveillance, targeting, and assassination. Boeing is at work creating a swarming system for larger drones. Eventually the technology will work its way into passenger planes.
25 JETLINE <strong>marvel</strong> I January 2015 Super Ball BOT Super Ball Bot is an all-in-one landing and mobility platform based on tensegrity structures, allowing for lower-cost, and more reliable planetary missions. Inspiration strikes from the most unlikely sources. Adrian Agogino and Vytas Sunspiral of NASA’s Intelligent Systems Division and Fellows of the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program are in the process of developing a Super Ball Bot--a collapsible, terrestrial robot based on a tensegrity toy that could one day become important to NASA’s exploration goals. These planetary surface explorers are sturdier and can withstand a substantial impact. The Super Ball Bot has a sphere-like matrix of cables and joints that could withstand being dropped from a spacecraft high above a planetary surface and hit the ground with a bounce. Once on the planet, the joints could adjust to roll the bot in any direction while housing a data collecting device within its core. The lighter weight and maneuverability of the Super Ball Bot could make an exploration mission possible to Saturn’s moon Titan. It has a soft planetary surface more like hazardous marsh with lakes of liquid methane that would not be suitable for a traditional rover that could sink down and get stuck. Robots Taught to think and act autonomously There are many situations where it's impossible, complicated or too time-consuming for humans to enter and carry out operations. Think of contaminated areas following a nuclear accident, or the need to erect structures such as antennae on mountain tops. These are examples of where flying robots could be used. The Eu’s ARCAS projects (Aerial Robotics Cooperative Assembly system) has designed a range of different flying robots with multi-joint manipulator arms to work together on grasping, transporting and depositing parts safely and efficiently. The autonomy and skills of the robots is being developed to build or disassemble structure for a host of future application, from rescue mission to inspection and maintenance in the energy and space sectors. The idea is that robots should be able to fly in everywhere where it is impossible or impractical for piloted aircrafts or ground robots to operate.’ Explained ARCAS project manager professor Anibal Ollero of the University of Seville.’ We have helicopter, and multi-rotor systems with eight rotors to give more hovering control, increase the payload and carry arms with greater degree of freedom.’ Up to 10 mini prototypes have been demonstrated working together on an indoor test bed at CATEC the advanced an Aerospace technologies Centre in Seville, Spain Larger Outdoor Demonstration sensing adopted helicopter and bigger multi-rotor have been performed at the facilities of DLR the German nationals Aerospace research Centre, near Munich, and the university of Seville, to grasp bars and transport them over distance before depositing them The idea of flying robots is not new ,of course .A large range of unmanned aerial vehicles are already in use ,not least to take photographs and collect other sensor data. But ARCAS is pioneering in that the flying robots are being equipped with arms to perform increasingly complicated manipulation tasks autonomously. They are programmed with briefing information and 3D maps to orient them , equipped with sensors to adopt to mistakes such as the Dropping of a part ) Changing circumstances (like weather conditions). And even taught how to land safely in an emergency of fly home automatically when they lose contact with base.
