Humanoid flying robots that can repair tall buildings could soon take to the air using Iron Man-style jet packs

Researchers have outlined a proof of concept design in a recent paper

Thrusters would be attached to the hands and feet of an iCub humanoid robot

British inventor Richard Browning demonstrated a similar jet pack back in April

The robots processing powers could allow them to realise the full potential of the jet propulsion system

Flying robots could soon take to the skies, thanks to a new Iron Man-style jet propulsion system designed by Italian engineers.

The plans would see thrusters attached to the hands and feet of an iCub humanoid robot, which previously hit headlines for its baby-faced appearance.

This would allow the droids, which stand at a diminutive 3.4 feet (104 cm) tall, to adjust their flight path at superhuman speeds.

The jet packs could allow repair bots to reach hard to access areas, as well as providing a test-bed for exoskeletons designed to allow human flight.
