…Robotics said. Once certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the company said its system will reduce the occurrence of common causes of fatal aviation accidents, such as controlled flight into terrain and loss of control. “Headquarters Air Force Mobility Functional Integration Team supports the efforts of Reliable Robotics and the development of their aircraft automation systems,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Sean R. McClune. “Reliable provides capabilities that will help close logistical gaps so that the United States Air Force can execute their role within the Joint Warfighting Concept.” “We are interested in Reliable Robotics, not only for their…

…Flytrex has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to begin its on-demand, unmanned food delivery via commercial drones for local residents in Holly Springs, N.C. “Given the expediency of drones for food delivery, Flytrex requires no additional technology to preserve perishable cargo,” says Yariv Bash, CEO and co-founder of Flytrex. “Once up and running, flight time from pick up to drop off is within a few minutes, and faster than any alternative.” Pending the approved proposal, Flytrex drones will operate along one predetermined delivery route, connecting a distribution center at Holly Springs Towne Center, a shopping destination owned…

…robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in January approved Scout as the first system for automated beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations with no humans on-site. The company said this approval gives it an exclusive first-mover advantage to unlock the commercial drone market by overcoming the need for costly visual observers to be on the ground during every drone flight. With humans removed from the field and data processing achieved at the edge, users can reduce data-acquisition costs by more than tenfold, said AR. American Robotics said Scout System consists of the following: Scout, a fully autonomous…

…is working closely with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to advance the MG Velos 100 through the certification process. The company said it will be uniquely positioned to offer transplant stakeholders the only UAS capable of routine medical cargo delivery in urban environments. Using the MG Velos 100, organ procurement organizations (OPOs), hospitals and laboratories could autonomously deliver specimens over all traffic and geographical limitations, said MissionGO. In addition, MediGO will offer visibility and transparency, and AlarisPro will provide fleet and maintenance management, covering every detail of multi-modal organ and blood shipments, it said. Doctors and clinicians can then…

…CEO, Aurora Uber is also working with NASA, the FAA, and the National Air Traffic Control Association to work on a different approach to air traffic control. Flying Cars Building out the infrastructure is just one part of the puzzle. The other roadblock is perfecting an all-electric VTOL plane that is quiet enough that it could be used to bring people from the cities to the suburbs, or even across cities, in a short amount of time. Uber, for now, has decided not to build its own aircraft, but partner with other manufacturers who are designing planes to fit Uber's…

…agency – presented NASA and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with official ICAO designator “IGY,” call sign “INGENUITY.” The location of the flight has also been given the ceremonial location designation “JZRO” for Jezero Crater. Artist's concept of Ingenuity robotic drone in flight near the Perseverance rover on Mars. Source: NASA JPL-Caltech Still a prototype While Ingenuity's flight is a milestone in human technology and exploration, the helicopter has no scientific instruments, unlike Perseverance. It is intended as a demonstration that aerial operations are possible on Mars, noted NASA. Parked 211 ft. (64.3 m) away at Van Zyl Overlook, the…

…visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) flights, he recalled. However, changes in FAA regulations and increasing demand for infrastructure and other data are increasing drone demand, Waters said. PowerPad Pro provides autonomous charging While many outdoor chargers use robotic arms to reposition drones for contact-based charging upon landing, such mechanical parts require extra maintenance, noted Waters. PowerPad Pro is sealed to the elements and moves the transmission coil internally for wireless charging and data transfer. 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…

…power for beyond visual line-of-sight [BVLOS] operations. Fuel requirements of 20% are well defined for weight in aviation. The FAA [U.S. Federal Aviation Administration] is wise to be careful about this. What does the 500th recharge look like?” “We've been doing a lot of work in wireless and autonomous charging with Commander,” he said. “We also have onboard chargers that are able to be standalone battery chargers and are also looking at contact-based charging systems because Commander can manage onboarding for applications that aren't necessarily contactless.”
