When it comes to precisely locating landing pads or other landmarks, autonomous drones rely largely on visual cues. So, what happens if it’s dark, rainy or foggy, and there’s no ground-based power for lights? Well, that’s where the Millisign system is … Continue reading Millisign tech guides autonomous drones via battery-less ground tags
In recent years, we’ve heard about navigational systems which guide pedestrians via vibrating actuators in their shoes. The FeetThrough system takes a different and reportedly better approach, by actually shocking the soles of the feet.Continue Reading… Continue reading FeetThrough tech guides walking users … by shocking their feet?
