Aug 26, 2017 @ 16:07 | Bee-based maths is helping teach swarms of drones to find weeds, while robotic mowers keep hedgerows in shape. ‘We observe the behaviour of bees. We gain knowledge of how the bees solve problems and with this we obtain rules of interaction that can be adapted to tell us how […]
May 26, 2017 @ 21:22 | TU Delft spin-off Atmos UAV presented Marlyn, a hybrid mapping drone that combines the flexibility of a helicopter with the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft. This device can rapidly map large areas of ground for companies working in such fields as fields construction, mining, agriculture and forestry. […]
May 10, 2017 @ 10:49 | GRIFF Aviation has constructed a prototype of Super Heavy-Lift Drone that lifts hundreds of pounds and the company is working on a larger unit that will carry nearly a ton. A new assembly plant that will produce some of the world’s most powerful Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) will soon be […]
Apr 5, 2017 @ 08:25 | by Ryan Owens | CAFNR researchers team up with College of Engineering to create robotic technology as a cost-effective method to study Missouri crops A two-pronged robotic system pioneered by University of Missouri researchers is changing the way scientists study crops and plant phenotyping. Felix Fritschi, associate professor in the Division […]
Dec 5, 2016 @ 19:38 | By Adam Conner-Simons | CSAIL | MIT News CSAIL system lets users design and fabricate drones with a wide range of shapes and structures. This fall’s new Federal Aviation Administration regulations have made drone flight easier than ever for both companies and consumers. But what if the drones out on […]
Oct 23, 2016 @ 13:17 | The Thorvald robotic platform has been built to perform a wide variety of agricultural tasks, including deployment as a multi-purpose light weight robotic carrying platform, as a sensor platform to monitor crops and soils and, potentially, as a platform to manage crops and for precision weed control. Scientists at […]
Sep 17, 2016 @ 21:02 | Vijay Kumar and his team from University of Pennsylvania demonstrated an autonomous 250g drone (quadrotor) performing aggressive maneuvers. You have seen fighter aircraft doing stunt, now small drones (weight 250 g) also can do those stunts. Prof. Vijay Kumar and his research team from University of Pennsylvania demonstrated an […]
Sep 17, 2016 @ 10:06 | Innovative tracking technology sought to protect against airborne threats in urban terrain Airspace for the flying public today is perpetually congested yet remarkably safe, thanks in no small part to a well-established air traffic control system that tracks, guides and continuously monitors thousands of flights a day. When it […]
