Overview
AirBurr is a flying robot designed for constrained, cluttered spaces. Its spring-based cage protects it from damage. Even after crashing on walls and other obstacles, it just picks itself up and takes off. Equipped with retractable arms for self-righting after crashes. Able to navigate by bumping into the environment or following a light source.
