"Biobot" Insect Swarms to Map and Explore Unknown Areas What may sound like the script from a Hollywood Blockbuster is in fact a new development by a research team from North Carolina State University. They have developed insect-like cyborgs, or "biobots", which can penetrate foreign...

Call it the best of both worlds: The Hybrid Quadcopter UAV has the extended air endurance of a Predator but can take off like helicopter from the back of a frigate. No wonder the U.S. Navy has expressed interest in this unmanned helicopter–airplane hybrid that Latitude Engineering, a small drone...

Reinvention of flight: Unmanned plane becomes first jet in the world to fly without 'flaps' A British unmanned plane that uses jets of air to fly instead of conventional 'flaps' has made aviation history. The experimental unmanned air vehicle (UAV), called DEMON, uses blown jets of air to...

Black Hornet UAS Presentation in Afghanistan

UK Ministry of Defence puts Black Hornet spy copter in Afghani skies It's been a few years since news of Prox Dynamics' Black Hornet mini-copter has swung our way. But now it appears the wee reconnaissance drones have moved out of the prototype phase and into the war zone. As part of the...

Bigger isn't always better Micro-unmanned vehicles invade the military on the ground and in the air. There's a new breed of unmanned vehicle in town, and they can be launched, tossed, or operated with just one hand. These pint-sized vehicles (though many of them are smaller than that) are...

Raytheon-led team to continue development of UAV-based hyperspectral sensor to find hidden objects like IEDs Multispectral sensors designers at the Raytheon Co. Network Centric Systems segment in McKinney, Texas, will move ahead with developing a new sensor for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)...

EADS Cassidian reports positive results from a third flight-test campaign conducted recently from Goose Bay, Canada, with the second prototype Barracuda UAV. Five flights during June and July each lasted up to one hour and proved various new mission modes, including autonomous 4-D navigation and...

He did say that he shall update his UAV project thread in 2 weeks time after he finishes the build.

THEY ARE FUNNY, THEY ARE CUTE, THEY ARE DANGEROUS. Remember those crazy micro-UAVs we showed you flying in formation? You know, the quad-copters developed by the University of Pennsylvania's General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) lab that are at once cool to watch and...

Thank you...

Welcome to Autonomous Agile Aerial Robots i.e. flying robots that can move like anything. Vijay Kumar, a professor at University of Pennsylvania, makes robots related to unmanned airplanes. But those are big and heavy and aren't autonomous — they need humans to pilot them. The robots he works...
