R2Home
Rechte: R2Home
Zeitraum: 2022 - 2023
Every day, 1800 radiosondes are sent into the atmosphere to collect data and make weather forecasts. However, only 20% of the instruments are recovered worldwide. R2Home is a mechanism developed by a student of the EPFL to address this problem. It is a fully autonomous paragliding robot that navigates to a precise landing point defined by the user. My job was to transform the system into a product. It is about the development of the shell that protects this mechanism from cold, rain and shocks, and is mainly made of expanded polypropylene. The shell consists of two parts that can be assembled using PET pieces. All materials used can be easily recycled. Intuitive design, easily replaceable parts, environmentally friendly because reusable - R2Home is the next generation of radiosondes.
