"winner of the ‘UAE drones for good award‘ and the accompanying $1 million USD prize money, the flyability ‘gimbal’ drone is protected by a rotating cage which prevents damages when colliding with obstacles. this world’s first of its kind enables it to enter confined spaces and safely fly close to humans, making it highly effective and useful for rescue missions. at the dubai internet city-located international competition which focuses on how technology will radically reshape government and public services in the future, the swiss company will use the funding to continue developing their lightweight product."


Of course, all that protection adds weight. Still better than my 4 whirling blades of doom.
