Naish Boxer SLE Used to Showcase Breakthroughs in Robotics
The Naish Boxer SLE is currently being used to show the capabilities of a new flying robot developed by a four man German team. Michael Achtelik, Klaus-Michael Doth, Daniel Gurdan, and Jan Stumpf have all been working on multi-rotor helicopters since 2002. They have since founded a company called “Ascending Technologies GmbH†in Germany. Gurdan and Stumpf did their masters thesis at the Lab for Ditributed Robotics at the prestigious MIT in Massachusetts.
Their focus has been to create multi-rotor flying platforms that are able to be flown in strong, gusty winds. Gurdan, flying the kite at left, is using Naish kites to show how the flying platform can perform in windy conditions. The team mounts an HD camera on the platform to record the images from the eye of the platform.
The name of the flying platform is the “X-3D BL UFO†and a simple version will be available in the model-helicopter market in a few months. Check out a video of the X-3D here. Stay tuned for more footage!
Product Spotlight: Mission Harness
A new introduction in the Soft Tech range this year, the Mission targets All-Terrain riders looking for a high performance harness without the high price. Borrowing its shape from the Pro Waist, it has a high back for better load spread. Extremely light and heavy duty, the Mission will make you forget you're even wearing a harness.
Only one more day left to enter the Sol contest! Be sure to get your name in drawing before it's too late! Winner drawn on April 2nd at midnight Hawaiian time.
