DIC's omnidirectional architecture multirotor, HAGAMOSphere™ is the drone that can move forward, backward, left, and right without tilting the aircraft because eight propellers are mounted diagonally on a cubic frame. A new type of multicopter drone that overturns the conventional wisdom of drones that can move stably on the ground by combining it with a spherical drone guard composed of a combination of geometric shapes using our unique technology.
