This android is equipped with a jetpack that allows it to fly and perform complex tasks such as searching for victims in hard-to-reach areas such as mountains.
Additionally, iRonCub3 can also be used for aerial inspection of buildings and structures.
The robot is mounted on a titanium frame that powers it, and instead of the flexible arms usual for humanoids, the iRonCub3 has jet engine nozzles.
During tests in a wind tunnel, the robot demonstrated an impressive thrust of 1000 N. Engineers equipped the device with heat-resistant screens to protect the electronics from high temperatures.
Although the project is still in its early stages, new tests are already being planned in which the robot will levitate and hover above the ground.
