In this work, we propose the application of Japanese
\r\n“Origami” art for a floating function of a small aerial vehicle such as a
\r\nhexarotor. A preliminary experiment was conducted using Origami
\r\nmagic balls mounted under a hexarotor. This magic ball can expand
\r\nand shrink using an air pump during free flying. Using this interesting
\r\nand functional concept, it promises to reduce the resistance of wind as
\r\nwell as reduce the energy consumption when the Origami balls are
\r\ndeflated. This approach can be particularly useful in rescue emergency
\r\nsituations. Furthermore, there are many unexpected reasons that may
\r\ncause the multi-rotor has to land on the surface of water due to
\r\nproblems with the communication between the aircraft and the ground
\r\nstation. In addition, a complementary experiment was designed to
\r\nprove that the hexarotor can fly maintaining the stability and also,
\r\ntakes off and lands on the surface of water using air balloons.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] The 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake \u2013 Portal-.
