…change healthcare and insurance? What about city planning and infrastructure? What jobs would they create or eliminate? What entertainment options would people purchase as they ride along? Established businesses and start-ups are scrambling to correctly envision (and invest in) the future. But there’s a lot of engineering to get those self-driving cars, or aircraft or watercraft from point A to point B, as we describe in this issue’s focus. That engineering will take time, as will the regulations and cultural shifts that would accompany such a disruption. Hype is part of the innovation process. It gets researchers, regulators, investors, corporations…

…scenarios, including first response, search and rescue, logistics, critical infrastructure inspection, defense and security.” Hundreds of XTEND's drone and robotics systems are already operationally deployed worldwide, and the company is continuously developing its XOS operating system and those platforms to deliver more human-machine teaming. XOS is hardware agnostic, which allows it to control all sorts of platforms, including third party devices, complement existing technology or create entirely new systems from scratch. XOS’s open architecture means that it can host applications developed by other companies, too. “Our XOS operating system is based on “Practical Human Supervised Autonomy” which empowers drones and…
