The development of flying "humanoid" robots is an ongoing work of the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT). Researchers believe that most intelligent robots currently performing airborne missions are implemented by assembling robot arms on four-rotor drones. There are obvious deficiencies in this approach, such as the aircraft’s ability to perceive and interact with the surrounding environment. Poor, in harsh environments, it is difficult for operators to accurately control. Combining humanoid robots and flying robots will have strong comprehensive technical advantages and can better solve the above problems.

Based on the above ideas, Italian researchers are using the iCub humanoid robot that has been developed to carry out research on flying robots. By installing jet power devices on their limbs, they hope to make them capable of flying. Researchers hope that the iCub's perception and interaction capabilities and operational capabilities will enable the flying machine as a whole to have better flight control and aerial operations capabilities. At present, a set of control systems has been developed, followed by testing of control systems, and in-depth studies on navigation, aerodynamics, and other issues to prepare for the actual flight of iCub. At the same time, the researchers also hope to use "humanoid" flying robots for human "flying exoskeletons" research and development, replacing real people to complete part of the experimental work, and accelerate the pace of "flying exoskeletons" research and development.

iCub is an open source robot developed by IIT for the study of cognition. Its height is 104 cm and it is one of the most advanced robots in the world. iCub has 53 motors that can move the head, arms, hands, waist and legs, can "see" and "hear", have a proprioception and a sense of movement, can crawl, walk and sit up to manipulate objects, hands With the ability to support complex operations, it has been adopted by more than 20 laboratories worldwide.
