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 […]
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 […]

Jul 16, 2016 @ 03:02 | EPFL | EPLF Physics student Darius Merk has used an insect-inspired algorithm to develop a drone that can navigate around obstacles. His research could prove particularly useful in a natural disaster. How do you send a drone on a reconnaissance mission in a hard-to-reach area without it getting stuck in […]
Jun 21, 2016 @ 17:49 | USA | Today, the Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration has finalized the first operational rules (PDF) for routine commercial use of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS or “drones”), opening pathways towards fully integrating UAS into the nation’s airspace. These new regulations work to harness new innovations safely, to […]
