Hey guys, check out this incredible perching UAV built by some guys at Stanford University. The UAV uses microspines to latch onto surfaces, and has a tuned suspension to absorb the impact impact. It uses sensors to measure distance from the wall and pitches up at just the right moment to stick to the wall..
