NASA has contracted Virginia’s Advanced Air Company to design and build a prototype of a new type of transition-capable eVTOL drone – a tilt-wing concept that uses aerodynamic forces instead of actuators to tilt the wings and propulsion systems.Continu… Continue reading AAC to develop a unique free-swinging tilt-wing UAV for NASA
The White House stopped a railroad strike this week and the San Francisco Police Department now has the power to kill people with robots. Continue reading CYBER: Railroad Strikes and Killer Robots
[Thomas Bitmatta] and two other champion drone pilots visited the Robotics and Perception Group at the University of Zurich. The human pilots accepting the challenge to race drones against Artificial …read more Continue reading Human vs. AI Drone Racing at the University of Zurich
Israeli defence tech company Elbit Systems has launched a lethal, autonomous suicide drone. The Lanius is an agile racing quad with a range of AI-powered scouting, mapping and target classification abilities, and the ability to explode when required.Co… Continue reading AI-driven combat drone can search buildings and execute suicide attacks
This technique measures device response time to determine distance:
The scientists tested the exploit by modifying an off-the-shelf drone to create a flying scanning device, the Wi-Peep. The robotic aircraft sends several messages to each device as it flies around, establishing the positions of devices in each room. A thief using the drone could find vulnerable areas in a home or office by checking for the absence of security cameras and other signs that a room is monitored or occupied. It could also be used to follow a security guard, or even to help rival hotels spy on each other by gauging the number of rooms in use…
If someone were planning on burglarizing a building, it would help if they knew in advance where valuable gadgets such as smart TVs and laptops were located. A new study suggests that a drone equipped with a cheap “Wi-Peep” device could allow them to d… Continue reading “Wi-Peep” tech allows Wi-Fi-enabled devices to be spotted through walls
