…R&D into robotics. It also provides uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), services, and training. The company said it has deep expertise in mechatronics, software integration, teleoperation, and automation through machine learning. Not only does InDro develop new technologies directly for clients, but it also develops, tests, and ultimately sells other innovations. InDro said it is actively involved in trials and claimed that it was the first UAV company in Canada to receive a cargo license from the Canadian Transportation Agency. InDro and Real Life Robotics said they will work closely together to enhance robot offerings, as well as to identify new…

…PowerPad Pro allows different types of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) to share a common platform and be deployed across large areas, said WiBotic. The company built its own hardware and software has been piloting the system for the past year. “The onboard charger is only 100 to 200 g [3.5 to 7 oz.],” Waters said. “Any drone equipped with can land on the PowerPad Pro, and we're working on a reference platform to show how small it can be, but even a larger drone could use it.” In addition, PowerPad Pro includes compute capability for programmable voltage and current. This…

…landing (VTOL) gas-electric hybrid aircraft. The uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) were designed for long-endurance flights of 12 to 18 hours and included temperature-regulated blood transportation containers. In test and demonstration events, Near Earth said its system guided aircraft from take-off to hazard avoidance and safe delivery. Over 30 autonomous land-based deliveries and 10 ship deck landings have been successfully completed to date, according to the company. “We are grateful to AUVSI for recognizing the importance of delivering critical medical supplies to rapidly treat the injured at their point of need,” stated Sanjiv Singh, CEO of Near Earth. “The combination of…

…report that data back to supervisors. Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) can avoid the dangers to human inspectors posed by heights, heavy equipment, and infrastructure such as electrical and drainage systems. Drones with thermal imaging capabilities can also be suitable for ongoing monitoring of worker activity on construction sites. Should workers be found in areas designated as unsafe, that information can be relayed quickly to managers on site. As a result, drones offer to remove workers, not from the construction site entirely, but from the highest-risk areas. Operators on site or at remote locations can evaluate site security and assess stockpiles,…

…drone light display of 500 unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, illustrating the whimsical characters of the popular mobile game over the Hudson River. Rather than applaud the decision, New York lawmakers ostracized the avionic wonders to New Jersey. In the words of Democratic state Senator Brad Hoylman, “Nobody owns New York City’s skyline – it is a public good and to allow a private company to reap profits off it is in itself offensive.” The event followed the model of Macy’s fireworks that have illuminated New York's skies since 1958. Unlike the department store’s pyrotechnics, which release dangerous greenhouse gases…

…a breakthrough technology Also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or uncrewed aerial systems (UASes), drones are small aircraft that can carry various payloads, including cameras. They are typically remote-controlled with devices such as tablets, gamepads, or smartphones. These flying robots can also fly by using GPS and embedded sensors. Both fixed-wing and quadcopter drones are becoming increasingly autonomous, but in the meantime, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration offers waivers for operations beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS). Drones were initially invented for military use, designed as targets for shooting practice. They became weapon systems later. However, people have…

…as planting and seeding. Drones or uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) can not only survey fields, but they can also support precision agriculture with real-time data collection for analysis and insight. Companies such as American Robotics and UAV Systems International have developed aerial imaging and seed-planting robots that can capture a bird’s eye-view of the farm and plant seeds according to the optimum capacity of the land. The Aurelia X8s Seed Spreader Drone developed by UAV Systems employs sophisticated wide-angle cameras, AI and machine learning, and computational methodologies to perform planting and seeding activity efficiently. Some seed-planting robots or drones are…

…traffic congestion and mounting pedestrian/cyclist injuries. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones offer the promise of sustainable infrastructure, lower costs, greater vehicular safety, and higher customer satisfaction. While UAVs sound like science fiction to many outsiders, Alan Hicks, chief technology officer of Manna Drone Delivery, said his company is making it a reality today. Manna has over 35,000 grocery and pharmacy customers in Ireland. Hicks’ experience is further substantiated by a recent study that projects the drone logistics and transportation market to grow from $539 million today to $17 billion in eight years. Alan Hicks of Manna Drone Delivery described…

…2015, H3 Dynamics provides services for uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) for maintenance, rescue, and surveillance operations. The company also offers robotic drone stations to remove the need for pilots, as well as hydrogen-electric systems to elongate battery-powered flight times. It has offices in Singapore; Austin, Texas; and Toulouse, France. H3 Dynamics' DBX-G7 station is drone-agnostic H3 Dynamics said its DBX-G7 is an advanced stationary field robot designed to function like an onsite drone pilot, covering all operations, from navigation to docking, battery charging, data retrieval, transmission, and cloud-based processing. Unlike other systems, DBX-G7 is drone-agnostic, meaning it can support different…
