Harvard Engineering Students 3D Print VTOL Drone to Improve Marine Biology Research

Harvard engineering students have developed a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) drone using 3D printing technology to enhance marine biology research. The drone is designed to improve data collection capabilities for marine biologists studying coral reefs and other underwater ecosystems. By utilizing 3D printing, the students were able to create a lightweight, customizable drone that can be easily modified for various research needs. This innovation is expected to revolutionize the way marine biology research is conducted by providing researchers with a cost-effective and efficient tool for gathering data in challenging marine environments.
