[Nathan] needed an autonomous mower to help on the farm, so he built his own without breaking the bank. It might not be the prettiest machine, but it’s been keeping …read more Continue reading No Frills Autonomous Lawnmower Gets The Job Done
The fastest ground vehicles on earth are not driven by their wheels but by an aircraft jet engine. At world record speeds, they run on an aerodynamic razor’s edge between …read more Continue reading High-Speed RC Car Needs A Flight Controller
“Just add solar panels to the wings” is a popular suggestion for improving the flight times of fixed-wing drones. However, the reality is not so simple, and it’s easy to …read more Continue reading Solar Plane Might Be Able To Last Through The Night
When we think of robotics, the first thing that usually comes to mind for many of us is some sort of industrial arm that’s bolted to the floor, or perhaps …read more Continue reading The Unique Challenges of Aerial Robotics
With the summer months nearly upon us, many are dreaming of warm afternoons spent floating on a quiet lake. Unless you’re [Kolins] anyway. Apparently his idea of a good time …read more Continue reading Autonomous Inflatable Canoe
Earlier in the year, [rctestflight] created an active hydrofoil RC craft but found the actual performance very lacking. Luckily for him and for us, he continued to tweak it and …read more Continue reading Hydrofoils Love This One Simple Trick
Ground effect vehicles, or ekranoplans, have the advantage of being more efficient than normal aircraft and faster than boats, but so far haven’t been developed beyond experimental prototypes. Fortunately, this …read more Continue reading Autonomous Ground Effect Vehicle Demonstrator Aims To Speed Up Maritime Shipping
[rctestflight] has built several autonomous boats, and with missions becoming longer and more challenging, he bought an inflatable kayak to serve as a dedicated rescue vessel. Instead of relying on …read more Continue reading Solar Powered Autonomous Tugboat For Rescuing Autonomous Vessels
Flying wings are popular options for fixed-wing FPV flying, but they have one rather annoying characteristic: yaw wag. The flying wing will wobble on the yaw axis while flying, and …read more Continue reading Eliminate Vertical Stabiliser with ArduPlane
There are a number of famous (yet fictional) sea monsters in the lakes and oceans around the world, but in the Caspian Sea one turned out to be real. This …read more Continue reading Ground Effect Drone Flies Autonomously
