Drones can always malfunction and drop to the ground or crash. How would you go about making them more resilient? This video from NCCR Robotics demonstrates a drone with a flexible external frame that is held in place using magnets. The frame deforms easily, so in case of a crash, it can protect the important parts of a multicopter.
