Latest Invention: New Flying Robot from KITECH Students

A group of students from the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH) has recently presented their latest version of a flying robot.

The presentation took place during the "World IT Show 2011" in COEX, Seoul. The show was opened from May 11th to 14th.

With the help of a built-in VTOL robot platform, which brings real-time picture data, control and managing functions, the robot was able to lift off.

It would be interesting to note that the type of recording and information transmission used in the robot can be useful in surveillance and during emergency situations as well.

All in all it is worth mentioning that such developments in technology could help perform a myriad of tasks in order to strengthen social security and thus lower the number of accidents at high risk jobs such as fire fighting.
