At CES 2025, the revolutionary HAGAMOSphere spherical drone was unveiled, earning the prestigious CES Innovation Award 2025. This groundbreaking design is the result of a collaboration between Hisida R&D Co., Associate Professor Masashi Miwa from Tokushima University, and Japanese chemical giant DIC Group. The drone stands out not only for its unique spherical shape but also for its innovative engineering.
HAGAMOSphere is equipped with eight propellers mounted on a cubic frame inside the sphere. A cutting-edge control algorithm synchronizes the propellers, ensuring balance and allowing the drone to move in any direction without tilting. Its spherical shell not only protects the drone from damage but also enables it to roll across surfaces, making it equally adept at both aerial and ground-based navigation.
This innovation opens up new possibilities for drone applications in challenging environments requiring high maneuverability and durability. HAGAMOSphere showcases the potential of robotics for use in rescue missions, logistics, and other fields where conventional devices face limitations.
