Scientists at Stanford University have looked to the avian world to create robust flying robots that can withstand strong wind and turbulence. Engineering professor David Lentink of Stanford had a new state of the art wind tunnel devised to help design drones that can remain stable through more than a small breeze. To do this […]

With all the fear of Drones interfering with wildlife lately we thought it would be nice to do a story about how Drones are helping to learn more about and thus preserve wildlife. For the first time ever scientists have explored a remote part of the Peruvian Rain Forests. Using trap cameras and drones they […]

Nothing soothes the home-sickness like a fresh package of cookies and that is exactly what the crew of the Maersk Edgar chemical tanker got. Life at sea can be very demanding. You spend weeks on the sea, eating the same thing every night and communication to the land can be expensive. Ocean shipping mogul Maersk […]

In a story that sounds like pure science fiction, shape changing drones and robots are one step closer to reality. Engineers from Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, and funded by the U.S. Air Force have created a composite material made partly of silicone and partly of metal. The metal has a very low melting […]

Tired of seeing garbage on the street all the time? The city of Dubai may have a new innovative answer using drones to monitor the litter bugs and catch them red handed. This is not as large a leap as some of us in North America may think as Dubai already uses cameras on drones […]

A new proposed rule from the FAA could let drones fly over your head from as low as 20 feet. If the new rule passes it will allow drones to fly 20 feet above a persons head with a 10-foot buffer space on all sides. The buffer is mostly for safety when landing and taking […]

Malawi’s government, in partnership with UNICEF, has started an experiment exploring ways to reduce the time it takes to test for HIV. This program comes in a time of great need, with an estimated 1.1 million people in Malawi infected with HIV these drones could help test thousands of children with HIV in a much […]
