En @MapIgnorance: system of quadrotors for the transportation of deformable linear objects

En mi última colaboración con el blog Mapping Ignorance hablé sobre un tipo de transporte de objetos con drones. Estamos acostumbrados a que un único drone transporte un único objeto, habitualmente rígido. ¿Pero qué ocurriría si intentáramos transportar un objeto deformable, como una cuerda, entre varios drones? El artículo comienza así:

Nowadays, the industry is centering their efforts on the development of single aerial robots carrying single objects, such as the widely-known drone of Amazon for delivering packages, which was followed by some national post-office services. However, other approaches go a step further and get to transport bigger objects in a cooperative way, reducing the payload of each drone and thus, increasing their battery duration. Besides, this cooperative transport might not only be used for retail services and packet deliveries, but for another completely different type of services and tasks.
