Tensegrity Deployable Sensor for Disaster Area by Daniel Lim, Platinum A' Design Award

Product Engineering and Technical Design Tensegrity Deployable Sensor for Disaster Area by Daniel Lim Tensegrity is a deployable sensor designed for disaster areas. Tensegrity is dropped from a drone to gather data for emergency response teams, including gas leaks, images and sounds from survivors. Rigid rods and nylon threads form a tensioned structure that absorbs the impact of a fall from more than 50 meters, so no parachute is required. Four collapsed modules are carried in a box under the drone and released over the site, where each module opens on landing. The sensor reaches places that people cannot safely approach.
