Project Description

Imagine a groundbreaking creation in the making: EvoBorne, a versatile robot being developed by SRA, designed to conquer diverse landscapes both in the air and on the ground. This morphable marvel transitions effortlessly between drone mode, where it soars through airspace, and a quadrupedal form for terrestrial traversal.
Equipped with a clever configuration of two wheels and two thrusters, the project aims to imbue EvoBorne with autonomous self-balancing capabilities. This will enable the robot to navigate even the steepest terrains in a semi-drone mode, combining the best of aerial and ground mobility.

The ultimate goal? EvoBorne will have a semi-drone mode, allowing it to navigate any environment with ease. This semi-drone capability represents a significant step forward in the evolution of robotics, promising seamless and agile movement across all types of challenging terrain. By use of cutting-edge technologies like SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and advanced trajectory planning EvoBorne bot will achieve full autonomy to traverse through its environment. This is the exciting vision driving the development of EvoBorne.
