It turns out to be possible to quadrocopters, an independent bridge building with ropes. The drones laid knots and created a bridge about 7 meters long. It serves as a demonstration that engineers want to demonstrate what role drones can play in the construction.
There is a video online which shows how a group of quadrocopters to work independently with a number of ropes. This should be between two racks to hang and with the help of tying knots had the whole grow into a sort of rope bridge. The idea was devised by engineers from the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zurich.
For the building of the bridge had the drones in a total of 120 meter rope is needed. They could measure how much tension there is on the rope, so the structure is sturdy enough to be able to make. That the construction was successful was when people easily made it could walk.
With the setting up of a rope bridge like the creators demonstrate that drones can be used for new ways of building. The idea must ultimately be put into practice, but if there is already concrete ideas for drone-structures is not clear. A possible application is to build bridges in situations where people are difficult, such as in mountainous areas.
