We have the hitchhiker drone, which can land on the side of a moving vehicle, and then MorphoLander. This drone carrier mother ship, developed by Dzmitry Tsetserukou from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow, Russia, can release mini swarms for search and rescue missions.
The smaller drones that it releases are capable of flying, landing and even walking . As for MorphoLander, it has four legs that enable it to land on even the most rugged of terrain and then walk around to the optimal spot to release the mini swarms. One caveat: MorphoLander can only run for 12-minutes continuously before needing to be recharged, while the smaller drones can help extend the mission.

The experiments revealed that the proposed system results in high landing accuracy of 0.5 cm when landing on the leader drone under even terrain conditions and 2.35 cm under uneven terrain conditions. MorphoLander has the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency of the industrial inspections, seismic surveys, and rescue missions in highly cluttered and unstructured environments,” said the researchers.
