Administer Goblin
Administer Goblin (Yu Jing-Ling or Yujingling, 御精灵) quadcopter is a quadrotor developed by Mr. Wu Jun-Qi. (吴俊琦). The origin of Administer Goblin dates back in 2007 when the development started by a group of undergraduate students at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) headed by Mr. Wu Jun-Qi. Mr. Wu Jun-Qi has continued the development of Administer Goblin after becoming a lecturer at Shanghai Jiao Tong University by making further improvement over the original model, and one of the most obvious distinction between the early model and later model is in the rotors utilized: while the early model utilizes four two-blade rotors, the later model utilizes four three-blade rotors. Administer Goblin has been deployed by local fire department as a reconnaissance UAV to provide real time video of fire.[1] Specification:[2]
