DJI Glide Hybrid Drone Concept adds Glider-Wings for Better Range and Energy-Efficient Flying – Yanko Design

You’ve seen quadcopters, and you’ve seen drones used for crop dusting or aerial surveillance – the DJI Glide is a fusion of both those drones. Designed by Baptiste Grenon, the DJI Glide proposes a battery-efficient design courtesy the presence of wings that help the drone stay stable and achieve flight at high altitudes without being […]

Drones and robots are becoming essential farm tools, as agriculture gets smart

Farming doesn’t have to be low-tech. Two of the biggest challenges family farmers face are competition with larger, more high-tech farms and keeping the next generations interested in farming. Smart farming, which includes incorporating drones and robots into agriculture, can address both of these issues by making small farms potentially more productive while using tech […]

Synchronized movement between robots and humans builds trust, study finds

Trust between humans and robots is improved when the movement between both is harmonised, researchers have discovered. These findings could improve the success of real-world human-robot teams, helping users like the emergency services to work more effectively with robots in the future. By sensing co-movement in real-world environments, robots could use this as an indicator […]

Can AI Robots Offer Advice That Heals Souls?

(ANALYSIS) I have been keeping an Artificial Intelligence folder for several weeks now, with a focus — naturally — on topics that should interest religious leaders. In terms of nightmare scenarios affecting congregational life, I tended to think about the growing market for AI sermon programs, which I see as an updated version of the old […]

Giving robots superhuman vision using radio signals

In the race to develop robust perception systems for robots, one persistent challenge has been operating in bad weather and harsh conditions. For example, traditional, light-based vision sensors such as cameras or LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) fail in heavy smoke and fog. However, nature has shown that vision doesn’t have to be constrained by […]
