More About Honeycomb Modular Multifunctional Drone
Honeycomb is a modular unmanned aerial vehicle designed to perform several tasks. The frame has a hexagonal shape, inspired by a bee honeycomb, and can be expanded by adding more units. Functional modules for fire protection, public announcement, seeding, ultraviolet sterilization, spraying and delivery are held in the middle of the frame by strong magnets. A larger number of modules increases the carrying capacity. A built-in Bluetooth connection allows the position to be monitored. The drone measures 815 mm long, 815 mm wide and 363 mm high.
Award Record
With this recognition, Guangpeng Yue is a winner of 1 A' Design Award.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Honeycomb is different from other UAVs in its single function attribute, and realizes modular and multi functional applications. The hexagonal frame can be infinitely expanded to add more modules. The more expanded the power module with rotor protection around the stronger the carrying capacity. One of the multi shaft propellers is the main controller responsible for receiving Bluetooth. The other is the auxiliary rotating clockwise and counter clockwise rotating alternately.
- Inspiration
- Most of the existing UAVs are single functional and cannot meet multiple needs, so multi functional UAVs are designed using a modular approach. Its shape is inspired by the honeycomb of a bee, using the hexagonal shape of the honeycomb as its skeleton. The lower part adopts the magnetic adsorption method to assemble multiple functional modules.
- Research
- Functional modules include fire protection, propaganda, seeding, UV sterilization, spray, express. All modules are connected by strong magnetic 360 degrees, and the connection part is stable. The drone skeleton and modules can be continuously expanded by splicing, and the more modules, the stronger the endurance, the more powerful the functionality.
- Challenge
- One challenge is how to better combine function and structure, and the other is how to more accurately control the weight of functional modules to achieve flight stability.
- Realization and Technology
- Circuit board, brushless motor, Bluetooth, strong magnet, airborne sensor, airborne calculation.
- Operation and Interaction
- UAV functional modules include fire protection, propaganda, seeding, UV sterilization, spray, express. The various functional modules are strongly magnetically adsorbed in the middle of the hexagonal frame, the program is used to plan and control the activities of the drone. The builtin Bluetooth can monitor the position at any time.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in June 2020 and ended in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in January 2021.
- Specifications
- Honeycomb UAV is 815 mm long, 815 mm wide and 363 mm high.
- Keywords
- Multi functional, modular, hexagonal expansion.
