Testing any kind of project in the real world is expensive. You have to haul people and equipment around, which costs money, and if you break anything, you have to …read more Continue reading Microsoft’s New Simulator Helps Train Drone AIs
Picking propeller size for any aircraft, but especially VTOLs, it’s a tradeoff between size and RPM. You can either move a large volume of air slowly or a small volume …read more Continue reading Large Tip Driven Copter Turns Very Slowly
Multirotor drones are significantly more popular than conventional helicopter designs for many reasons, which do not include efficiency. Making use of the aerodynamic effects behind this, [Nicholas Rehm] was able …read more Continue reading Turn Drone Into A Large Propeller To Increase Hover Efficiency
Someone in Russia appears to be firing a gun from the back of a robot dog. Continue reading Robot Dog Not So Cute With Submachine Gun Strapped to Its Back
The differences between a drone and an underwater remote-operated vehicle (ROV) aren’t actually that large. Both have powerful motors that move large volumes of fluid (yes, air is a fluid), …read more Continue reading It Turns Out You Can’t Just Fly A Drone Under Water
Videos of soldiers fighting in Ukraine show how dangerous it is to make improvised explosive devices to drop from drones. Continue reading Russian Military Is Bombing Ukraine With Grenades in Plastic Cups
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
You’d think that a synthesizer that makes as much noise and sports as many knobs as this one would have more than a dozen transistors on board. Surely the circuit …read more Continue reading Relax and Enjoy This Simple Drone Synthesizer
When it comes to hobby rotorcraft, it almost seems like the more rotors, the better. Quadcopters, hexacopters, and octocopters we’ve seen, and there’s probably a dodecacopter buzzing around out there …read more Continue reading When Sticks Fly
Drones have revolutionized the world of videography in perhaps the biggest way since the advent of digital hardware. They’re used to get shots that are impractical or entirely impossible to …read more Continue reading Drone Filming Chile’s Urban Bike Race Takes Some Fancy Radio Gear
