"It's a flying cart designed for human-robot interaction-based aerial cargo transportation," say the researchers behind the prototype, which was recently featured in a study recently published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.
"The Palletrone will try to keep its roll and pitch at zero, to make sure that there's a flat and stable platform for your preciouses," according to the research paper.
In its current incarnation, it can theoretically carry loads up to 25 pounds (11.45 kg) with its current propellers but has only been tested with just under 6.5 pounds (2.93 kg) of cargo.
