Researchers demonstrate “FlyingToolbox”—a system where drones swap tools mid-flight with sub-centimeter precision, despite strong downwash.

Engineers from Westlake University (China) introduced the FlyingToolbox system, enabling two drones to exchange tools mid-air with 0.80 ± 0.33 cm docking accuracy even under strong downward airflow (downwash reaching 13.18 m/s). The system uses onboard vision via QR code tracking for relative positioning, a neural network estimator to compensate for downwash disturbance in real time, and an electromagnet docking mechanism with elastic tethers.During testing, the drones docked and swapped tools across 20 consecutive trials with high repeatability. This capability allows aerial robots to share functions and tools dynamically, increasing their versatility in tasks like inspections, repairs, and manipulation in hard-to-reach areas.
