To put this in perspective, it supports up to 3kg in the demonstration. That's a fraction of what I can support with one finger.

- xeyownt 2y agoOk, but it's cargo AND vacuum cleaner. Can your finger do that?
- thewanderer1983 2y agoAnd can your finger AI? Doubt it.

- gs17 2y agoMy apartment pays for people to come by and blow dirt around every so often, so maybe this could let delivery people pick up extra cash on the side!

- falcor84 2y agoNow you got me curious - how many kg can you support with a single finger, and what's your exercise regime?
- swagasaurus-rex 2y agoProfessional climbers are known for being able to hang off of two fingers. It usually takes years of training to be able to do this.
- taneq 2y agoIt’s one thing to be able to hang off a finger hooked over a tiny ledge, it’s much easier to hook a handle and lift a load vertically. Most adult humans could lift 10kg witha couple of fingers.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoExcept for a fair comparison with this particular drone, you need a figure for how much you can carry on top of your finger, pointing upwards, while keeping it balanced.
- taneq 2y agoNo I don't, because I don't need to carry things like that. I need to compare this drone with a sturdy cardboard box that I can carry things in.
- meindnoch 2y agoIf there's a handle you can hook into, anyone can carry ~20kg with a single finger (index or middle finger). For me, the limiting factor would be the handle biting into my finger too hard, but I can likely go up to 40kgs.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y ago20kg is about the weight of a bag of water softener salt. No way am I carrying that from one finger for more than about 10 feet exactly because of the limiting factor you mention.
