It’s all about practical applications and the researchers found a good one—autonomous gas source localization. Simply, rapidly finding gas leaks in a large building or industrial site without risking human firefighters. The researchers…

Recently the DARPA Mobile Force Protection (MFP) program demonstrated a Counter-Unmanned Air System (C-UAS) multilayer defense architecture at Eglin Air Force Base. The goal—to defeat unauthorized drone intrusions over military…

Drones are a key market that impacts many different aspects of industry and commercial use cases. IDTechEx's new report covers the hardware, software, sensors, and use cases for this key industry in ‘Drone Market and Industries 2021-2041’.

Opteran just raised seed funding in the amount of £2.1 million to launch a radical lightweight, low-cost silicon-based approach to autonomy called Natural Intelligence. The company had its roots in eight years of insect-brain research…

We lose about 13 million forest hectares per year, and of the 45% of our world’s original forest cover, most has been cleared within the last century. And when we lose forest cover, we also lose species biodiversity, as forest inhabitants…

COVID-19 has undoubtedly changed the way the world works—in some cases permanently. And, in a sense, some of the changes have even been for the better—particularly some of the new uses we’re finding for technology. Some of the coolest…

Drones are wonderful things, with so many beneficial, cost-effective applications. But there are always those who want to take advantage of a good thing, and the malicious use of drones has halted flights, created sticky privacy issues, and…

Climate, market conditions, labor shortages, and size of yield have always been challenges for farmers. But as world population continues to grow and larger and larger areas of the planet are no longer arable, it’s become obvious our land…

Bats’ ability to echolocate to both navigate and find found in the dark was the inspiration behind the development of sonar and radar. Now, mathematicians have found that by adding microphones and a speaker on a drone with the help of…

Researchers from Brown University have designed a new type of wing that could make small fixed-wing drones far more stable and efficient. The new wing replaces the smooth contour found on the leading edges of most airplane wings with a…
