PARIS — Researchers are developing a blimp-like drone that can explore a newly discovered hidden chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Research institutions Inria and the French National Center for Scientific Research are designing the drone to squeeze through a 1.5-inch hole, before unfolding and inflating, Digital Trends reported.
“The main challenge is to insert a complete exploration robot in a hole that is as small as possible,” Inria researcher Dr. Jean-Baptiste Mouret told Digital Trends. “It’s important to use a hole as small as possible because we want to leave as few traces as we can. This is what we call ‘minimally invasive robotics.’ We chose a diameter of 1.5 inches because it is a good trade-off between the size of the hole, the kind of machines that can bore holes, and the current robotic technologies.”
The blimp model was chosen over conventional multi-rotor drones because it’s safer the surrounding environment during exploration.
The blimp drone can make contact with obstacles without damaging the monument. They are also more stable than multi-rotor drones, which is important for taking photos in low-light conditions.
The camera equipped drone will be remotely operated by radio, however can also operate autonomously via small onboard sensors.

The thumbnail had a French flag
yea we need to know the truth
?????????????
Fringe scientists will say, they are going to cover everything up. Who knows what they are going to hide. The fountain of youth? The long lost Ark of Covent? A secret club?
Atlantis?
a small blip seems like a good idea, but how do they get the small blimp back out again?
Do not go any further into those pyramids, we have no reason to be there.
Yee
2:45 “holds the remains of a wooden coffin “
Ironically none of Bible quran jews bible mention the pyramids fake religeona
Blimps, well known for being highly resistant to ancient curses.
i am looking for kayla oyama
You know I sure would like to see some of these drone videos they claim or in the works rather than animated representation until then I call bullshit clickbait good science is spreading the day that you have around throughout the community this is just bullshit shit people wonder why the world is the way that it is just backtrack some of the channels people then Google and never ever rely on somebody else’s data unless of course you wouldn’t look into it yourself even if you’re not in expert if you don’t share what you have and you call it science and knowledge then it’s one man’s word against another and that’s why you see what you see on the internet comment section aliens and shit like that it’s this very shit right here that keeps you in the dark it’s not hard to see that that used to be called scrutinizing and critical thinking now it’s just believe what I say it’s all good because somebody’s going to say something blah blah fucking blah now it’s called Truth? No data no truth
way the Mexican flag in the cabodian section ??
