Forget baskets, this innovative Palletrone cart drone can help you transport groceries or just about anything else. It was developed by researchers at Seoul National University and Technology, the drone uses machine learning algorithms to keep the platform’s roll and pitch at zero.
After loading the platform, the user can direct it to wherever necessary, while its Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) responds to even the slightest touch and translates those forces into control over the Palletrone’s horizontal, vertical, as well as yaw trajectories. In other words, you control forward momentum and direction using the hand rail, all the while the hardware as well as software keep the platform hovering above the ground.

We conducted an analysis of the flight stability and performance in response to changes in system mass resulting from arbitrary cargo loading. Ultimately, we demonstrate that individuals can effectively control the system trajectory by applying appropriate interactive forces and torques. Furthermore, we showcase the performance of the system through various experimental scenarios,” said the researchers.
