Tremendous technology is on a collision course with reality.
All over the country, novice drone pilots are launching their new Christmas presents skywards. But do they all know the rules? Here’s a primer.
Over the next few years, drones are going to take to the skies en masse – and cities will need to accommodate them.
Here’s the technology Amazon needs to get right for drone deliveries – and what it will mean for everyone else.
If, like auto racing, drone racing becomes a long-lasting sport yielding financial rewards for backers of winning teams, might new technologies find their way into commercial and consumer products?
Drones are useful tools for studying and protecting wildlife. But with their growing popularity comes a growing need to make sure they don’t harm the animals they’re trying to observe.
A bill before Congress could pave the way for the opening of our backyards, neighborhoods, business properties and campuses to commercial drone traffic.
Drones don’t pose much of a risk to traditional aviation. Our research shows that collisions with manned aircraft are far more likely to involve a bird.
Long awaited changes to the regulations on some drone flights in Australia are set to give the industry a shake up.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can keep remote sensors alive and deal with dangerous scenarios.
People and machines need to be able to interact and communicate effectively. Right now we – and they – can’t. But without that, we risk missing the potential benefits of collaboration.
New FAA guidelines call for consumers to register drones over a certain weight. As more and more drones take to the skies, we’ll see how amateur use influences the development of UAS technologies.
Once everyone gets a taste for flying their own drone the skies will be chaos – we need to draw up rules, and enforce them, now.
Delivering for Amazon, providing internet connection for Facebook: commercial drone flights are here, and we need rules to govern them, fast.
Precision agriculture harnesses technology to help farmers grow more food using less water, fertilizer, pesticide, fuel and labor.
Aimed at allowing drones to operate in the national airspace safely alongside manned aircraft, they’re largely favorable to commercial operators who have been waiting years for workable regs.
Lost and thirsty in the Australian bush, Outback Joe waited eight years. And finally, in September this year, he was found – by a flying robot. Outback Joe is not a real person, but for a week each September…
Geologists are using drones to help extract more resources from the North Sea, using the latest visual technologies to identify oil-bearing rocks. Using an eight-rotor, camera-equipped “octocopter” drone…
What happens when an Amazon drone drops through your roof or lands on the neighbour’s toddler while delivering a parcel? Can an unhappy pig farmer shoot down a drone operated by animal rights activists…
