The US Air Force can now equip unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) systems with AI-powered face recognition technology (FRT). The FTR equipped drones will be used by special operations personnel for missions overseas, perimeter security, domestic […]
A team at The University of Tokyo recently introduced SPIDAR – a SPherIcally vectorable and Distributed rotors assisted Air-ground amphibious quadruped Robot. SPIDAR is a novel air-ground amphibious quadruped robot that has multimodal locomotion capability […]
Researchers at Ontario’s University of Waterloo have created a drone-powered airborne scanning device that can triangulate the location of every WiFi-connected device within a building. The device – called Wi-Peep – engages in what the […]
A team of researchers led by the Empa institute, the University of Pennsylvania, and Imperial College London have created cooperative, flying, 3D-printing drones that are capable of building and repairing structures while in flight. The […]
Researchers from the University of Washington and Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory are reporting the successful deployment of three undersea drones which will be autonomously monitoring the ebb and flow of sea ice in the […]
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center recently posted a request for information (RFI) for a supersonic-capable Next Generation Aerial Target (NGAT). NGAT is an aerial target drone, intended to be used for the testing […]
Reveal Technology partnered with Teal Drones to improve Reveal’s “Farsight” mapping software which produces high-fidelity 3D maps. The ability to rapidly create accurate 3D maps of areas targeted for military operations is a critical component […]
The US Air Force Research Laboratory has awarded a $89.4 million contract to Dzyne Technologies to research the unmanned Small Payload Precision Air-Launched Inexpensive Delivery System (SPPAIDS). SPPAIDS is a low-cost air-deployable system that will incorporate […]
Researchers at Caltech have developed a deep-learning method that can help drones cope with new and unknown wind conditions in real-time. Called Neural-Fly, the neural network teaches the drone how to survive extreme wind similar […]
DARPA has issued a formal request for information (RFI) for the Airborne Energy Well project – a method of recharging drones while in flight using laser-shooting tanker planes. Once in use, the technology is expected […]
