角蝉-Treehopper- Ultra-lightweight mini drone

角蝉（jiao chan）- Treehopper - Ultra-lightweight mini drone
First mini drone robot designed by Standard form. Inc. They are originally designed as artificial pollination drones to help plants to grow in environments have not established ecosystem fit for nature pollination.

With a wingspan of 73 mm and a body length of 20 mm, the treehopper weighs just 58 g.

The model’s flying membrane is wafer-thin, ultralight whilst also robust. It consists of one airtight film and a 3d printed elastane fabric, which are welded together at approximately 45,000 points. Due to its elasticity, it stays almost uncreased, even when the wings are retracted. The fabric’s structure prevents small cracks in the flying membrane from getting bigger. This means that the treehopper can continue flying even if the fabric sustains minor damage.

The treehopper is able to move autonomously in both defined and undefined spaces, it communicates with a motion-tracking system. The installation constantly records its position. At the same time, the system plans the flight paths and delivers the necessary control commands for this. An operator performs the start and landing manually. The autopilot takes over in flight.

Later Planing for the design will include a mothership drone with a goal of controling swarm of treehoppers.
