A novel hybrid unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), called U-Lion, has been built by two PhD students from the Unmanned System Research Group in National University of Singapore.
In addition to taking aerial photographs or delivering packages, drones are now being used for a totally new purpose – counting small birds!
Three hundred Intel® Shooting Star™ drones were used to light up the sky over Lady Gaga at the start of the Pepsi Zero Sugar Super Bowl LI Halftime Show performance. The drones forming a Pepsi logo that morphed into an Intel logo was showcased by a 10-second Intel ad following the show.
Researchers from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego have recently developed innovative underwater robots. These robots enable scientists to not only analyze ocean currents but also the tiny creatures transported by the currents. These underwater robots helped to explain certain basic queries related to plankton, the most abundant life form in the ocean.
A team of roboticists at UC Berkeley have built a small robot that is capable of leaping into the air and then springing off a wall, or performing a number of vertical jumps in a row, resulting in the maximum robotic vertical jumping agility ever to be recorded.
A team of researchers from North Carolina State University have created a combination of hardware and software that will enable them to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and insect cyborgs, or biobots to map large, unfamiliar areas e.g., collapsed buildings following a disaster.
Although long-term, broad-scale ecological data are vital for plant research, they are most often not easy to collect manually.
UPM researchers are now involved in the development of a technique to detect forest fires with the help using a new color index. This color index has been chosen to detect the tonalities of smoke and flames, and is based on the methods used for vegetation classification.
