Abstract
A first embodiment relates to a shape-reconfigurable drone and, more specifically, to a shape-reconfigurable drone comprising unit module drones having a rectangular-parallelepiped body capable of applying a thrust in every direction, thereby being capable of flying horizontally without rotating the drone and of forming a drone assembly formed by the coupling of the unit module drones, and thus can fly solo or can fly in various shapes.
