Collaborate Disseminate
Back when commercial quadcopters started appearing in the news on the regular, public safety was a talking point. How, for example, do we keep them away from airports? Well, large …read more Continue reading Loudmouth DJI Drones Tell Everyone Where You Are
If you’re looking for a good excuse to finally buy a drone, you probably can’t do better than claiming it can save your life. Granted, you may never find yourself …read more Continue reading Stranded Motorist Effects Own Rescue Using a Drone and a Cell Phone
While aerial drones can travel long distances quickly, aquatic drones can explore underwater environments. The TJ-FlyingFish offers the best of both worlds, as it’s a flying quadcopter that is also able to make its way through the inky depths.Continue … Continue reading TJ-FlyingFish drone flies through the air and “swims” underwater
If you want to know which animals are present in a given location, a good way of finding out is to look for their cast-off DNA. A new drone is designed to help scientists do so, by autonomously sticking itself to tree branches.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Swiss eDrone helps scientists gather eDNA from branches
Racing quadcopters are insanely light, quick and agile, but they’re not typically known for their top-speed figures. Mechanical engineer and hobbyist Ryan Lademann builds his own frames to push the limits, and he’s now bagged a Guinness World Record.

Building or repairing structures in difficult-to-reach locations is a daunting task, as bringing in the cranes, scaffolding and whatnot can be quite difficult. That’s why scientists are creating a honeybee-inspired system, which uses flying 3D-printing… Continue reading Bee-inspired technology uses aerial drones to 3D-print structures
Ordinarily, quadcopter drones have to tilt their front end downward when flying forward, increasing their frontal area and thus increasing drag. An experimental new drone gets around this problem, by only tilting its rotors.Continue ReadingCategory: Dr… Continue reading Passive-tilting rotors shown to boost drone speed and efficiency
It’s a sad fact that mass shootings have become an all-too-common occurrence in the US. Defense tech company Axon has announced what it states will be a new means of resolving such incidents quickly and relatively safely, utilizing a drone equipped wit… Continue reading US mass shootings prompt development of Taser-wielding drone
Mapping the inside of cramped, difficult-to-reach areas can be helpful to people such as plant operators, but drones flown in such places could easily crash. The LiDAR- and cage-equipped Elios 3 quadcopter was designed with that challenge in mind.Conti… Continue reading Latest version of Elios caged drone gets LiDAR for 3D mapping
This unique heavy-lift UAV out of Edinburgh promises to obliterate the power and range of electric drones using a Rotax engine and bent-axis hydraulic motors similar to those used on huge tree harvesters. It’s now lifting 95 kg (210 lb) in testing.Cont… Continue reading Flowcopter’s ultra-long range hydraulic drone is lifting serious weight
