An incredible innovation sees drones working together to carry loads.

Scientists at Dutch university TU Delft have developed a new algorithm that allows multiple autonomous drones to work together to control and transport heavy payloads, even in windy conditions.

They say the system could be ideal for reaching and maintaining hard‑to‑reach infrastructure, such as offshore wind turbines.

With often harsh weather, limited payload capacity and unpredictable contact with the environment, it is difficult for current drones to operate safely and effectively.

“A single drone can only carry a very limited load,” explains Sihao Sun, robotics researcher at TU Delft. “This makes it hard to use drones for tasks like delivering heavy building materials to remote areas, tra
