…drone used in Monday’s test was the Workhorse HorseFly™ UAV Delivery system. It is a high-efficiency, octocopter delivery drone that is fully integrated with Workhorse’s line of electric/hybrid delivery trucks. The drone docks on the roof of the delivery truck. A cage suspended beneath the drone, extends through a hatch into the truck. A UPS driver inside loads a package into the cage and presses a button on a touch screen, sending the drone on a preset autonomous route to an address. The battery-powered HorseFly drone recharges while it’s docked. It has a 30-minute flight time and can carry a…

…Cleo Robotics Inc. recently launched an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for indoor use called the Dronut X1. Founded in 2018, the company aims to serve law enforcement, defense, and enterprise customers for inspections and monitoring applications. “If somebody wants to inspect a pressure vessel or a tank, instead of sending a person into a confined space, they’d rather send a drone in to capture data or see a hard-to-reach area,” said Omar Eleryan, CEO at Cleo Robotics. Eleryan claimed that the Dronut is unique because it's the first inducted-fan UAV. Cleo Robotics’ website described the Dronut X1 as “the world’s…

…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…

…the University of Manchester participated in the research and development. The project’s goal is to develop underwater autonomous vehicles (UAVs) that can improve safety and reduce the challenges of operating in hazardous environments such as in ponds at nuclear sites. The A2I2 robot successfully completed its nuclear use-case Drop 2 trials at Forth’s Deep Recovery Facility in Cumbria in March. Forth is also working with partners across Europe on the RESURGAM (Robotic Survey, Repair and Agile Manufacture) project and using its expertise to develop underwater friction stir welding technology to help make repairs to ships' hulls safer, faster, and more…

…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…
