我们展示了ZeRONE，一种新的室内无人机，它不使用旋转叶片来推进。该装置是一种氦气飞艇式无人机，利用压电元件的超声波振动产生的风来推进。与普通的带有旋转螺旋桨的无人机相比，这种无人机更安全，因为它唯一的运动部件是压电元件，其表面振动在微米量级。无人机可以漂浮几个星期，超声波推进系统是安静的。我们实现了无人机的原型，并在实验中评估了其性能和独特的特性。并讨论了ZeRONE与人共存的应用场景。
We present ZeRONE, a new indoor drone that does not use rotating blades for propulsion. The proposed device is a helium blimp type drone that uses the wind generated by the ultrasonic vibration of piezo elements for propulsion. Compared to normal drones with rotating propellers, the drone is much safer because its only moving parts are the piezo elements whose surfaces vibrate at the order of micrometers. The drone can float for a few weeks and the ultrasonic propulsion system is quiet. We implement a prototype of the drone and evaluate its performance and unique characteristics in experiments. Moreover, application scenarios in which ZeRONE coexists with people are also discussed.
