After the beginning of the news, the flight of machines has started after the start of the people. Italian scientists have prepared a humanoid robot that not only looks like a child, but can now fly now. Its name is Ironcub MK3 – A baby robot that rose about 20 inches from the ground with the help of four powerful the thrusters. Its two thrusters are on the arms and two like a jetpack on the back, which gives it the power of vertical take-offs. This flying human robot weighs 22 kg, and it looks exactly like a child of 3 feet. According to scientists, it is not just a flying show, but a glimpse of the future technology, where robots will also be able to work in emergency missions, fire incidents and risk zones. This take-off of Ironcub is not just an experiment, but the first glimpse of independent flight of machines.

Baby

Ironcub MK3 weighs only 22 kg and its face and body resembles a small child. Its masculinity and compact body makes it extremely special. This robot can not only walk on the ground but can also fly now. Its first Test was completely successful.

Four thruster flight

This humanoid robot has a total of four thrusters – in two arms and two on the back. With their help, this robot raised 50 cm (about 20 inches) in the air. Its balance and thruster’s power control is considered to be a major achievement of scientists. This video was released by IIT on 18 June.

Vertical take-off became history

This is the first time a small humanoid robot has done vertical takeoff. That is, without running, rising above the ground. Until this, such robots were mostly stable. This success suggests that such robots may be used in rescue operations and space operations in the coming time.

There are some challenges left

Although this is a major success, the robot flight remained for a limited time. Battery capacity is low and maintaining flying stability is still a challenge. This robot can be unbalanced by strong wind or external pressure. They will be further strengthened in the upcoming tests.

AI system is not yet connected

Currently, this robot has been fully flown by programming or remote control. It has no autonomous (independent decision -making) AI system. Scientists are now planning to add smart AI like navigation, obstacle detections in it. Currently, it is just a flying mechanical system.

Many future possibilities

Ironcub MK3 can be used in future disaster zones, space missions and height maintenance tasks. To increase its flight time and power, the idea of ​​installing additional batteries or solar panels is going on. These robots can no longer use only a part of the future mission.
