Delivery drones are now capable of delivering supplies to marines in combat, allowing emergency food and ammunition deliveries in a short amount of time. The autonomous drones can carry 60 pounds (~ 27 kilos) of […]
Exyn Technologies – a spinoff of the University of Pennsylvania’s General Robotics, Automation, Sensing, and Perception (GRASP) Laboratory – has introduced a new mission behavior for military surveillance and reconnaissance missions called Scoutonomy. Built on […]
The European Defense Agency (EDA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) are partnering on two new projects that will explore unknown or potentially hazardous environments: using drones to monitor disaster-stricken regions or toxic spill sites; […]
Researchers from Binghamton University and Ukraine have developed a new technique using hybrid drones and shrunken technology to identify unexploded ordinances (UXO) from the air. “There’s this kind of evolutionary moment when the two technologies […]
Researchers at Tomsk State University’s Supercomputer Center in Russia have developed a method for the automated design of drones based on mathematical modeling using the computing power of the SKIF Cyberia supercomputer. The new approach […]
Researchers at MIT have developed a trajectory-planning model that helps drones safely fly at high speeds through previously unexplored areas. The model – named “FASTER” – estimates the quickest possible path from a starting point […]
Researchers at the University of Vermont’s Spatial Analysis Laboratory (SAL) have joined the Federal Aviation Administration’s Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE) to aid in setting guidelines for the safe use […]
The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently announced a third wireless research platform to be located in North Carolina’s Research Triangle. The $24 million grant over five years – Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced […]
Oklahoma State University’s Unmanned System Research Institute has partnered with MaxQ to demonstrate the use of drone technology to deliver medical supplies. The project combines OSU’s drone expertise with MaxQ’s proprietary insulated medical containers to […]
Xcel Energy has become the first utility in the U.S. to receive permission from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone flights, flights for regular transmission line inspection […]
