Swarm of tiny drones explores unknown environments This work, presented in Science Robotics on 23 October, forms a significant step in the field of swarm robotics. The challenge comes from t... Read more
New system employs a deep neural network to overcome the challenge of ground-effect turbulence Landing multi-rotor drones smoothly is difficult. Complex turbulence is created by the airflow... Read more
Search and rescue crews are already using drones to locate missing hikers. Farmers are flying them over fields to survey crops. And delivery companies will soon use drones to drop packages a... Read more
Researchers present a new software for the analysis of airborne wind energy systems A group of researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has recently developed a new software ai... Read more
Finding lost hikers in forests can be a difficult and lengthy process, as helicopters and drones can’t get a glimpse through the thick tree canopy. Recently, it’s been proposed that autonomo... Read more
A joint team from KAIST, Caltech, and Imperial College London, presents a drone with a new algorithm to shepherd birds safely away from airports Researchers made a new algorithm for enabling... Read more
Your torso is more intuitive – and more precise – than joysticks for piloting drones, both simulated and real, according to a recent study by EPFL scientists. Work is already underway to imp... Read more
Low-power design will allow devices as small as a honeybee to determine their location while flying. Researchers at MIT, who last year designed a tiny computer chip tailored to help honeybee... Read more
