Reliable Long-Range Multi-Link Communication for BVLOS UAS SAR Operations
Researchers at the TU Dortmund University have just published a 22-page paper which addresses the challenges of UAS usage in maritime SAR scenarios which lie in the remote control as well as the real-time exchange of acquired information like sensor data, videos, and images. Abstract With the increasing availability of

MIT Develops Drone Control by Muscle Gesture
A team from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) came up with a method that dials us closer to more seamless human-robot collaboration. The system, called “Conduct-A-Bot,” uses human muscle signals from wearable sensors to pilot a robot’s movement. “We envision a world in which machines

Delivery Drones Consume More Energy than Vans
Using delivery drones in cities consumes up to ten times more energy than electric vans because they can only carry one parcel at a time and require frequent back and forth trips, a new study finds. Dr. Thomas Kirschstein, an economist at the department of Production and Logistics at Martin
