Sony has a new drone. It's called Airpeak. And you want it.
The highlight of Sony's CES 2021 Media Day press conference was the unveiling of Airpeak. This drone is a part of its project in the area of AI robotics.
Sony launched the Airpeak brand with the goal to further develop today's drone...
While they were considered to be more futuristic technology than an approachable STEM project, drones are now more accessible than ever. This is thanks to innovative companies such as Circuit Scribe, who have created DIY drone kits that are fun to play with and entertaining to assemble. After all, taking to the skies with a drone...
It may be hard to believe that drones are used for anything outside of military operations or Amazon deliveries. However, these unmanned vehicles have a variety of applications, helping people do everything from mapping landscapes to monitoring construction sites. Their maneuverability and convenience allow them to access places that...
Recreational drones have taken the country by storm as the popular new hobby. It makes sense, too. Not only is it fun to fly a drone around, it’s also a great opportunity to get outside, and maybe record some footage that you otherwise couldn’t get. In January of 2017, 670,000 drones had been registered with the federal government,...
It’s still a bit of the wild west with drones, or, as the FAA calls them, “Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems” (sUAS). These are drones that weigh more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds. And, by wild west, I mean that people have literally shot drones out of the sky because of annoyance or privacy concerns. So far, there have...
Zipline is a great example of how drones are becoming an increasing part of everyday life, with uses ranging from children’s toys to production equipment and even million-dollar military applications. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s) are definitely a trending topic in the modern tech sector. Many of this year’s tech expos have...
There seems to be a common opinion that the dawn of drones means that many jobs are in jeopardy. Fearing a dystopian, jobless future, we have gained a bit of cynicism when it comes to our future-flying-robot-coworkers.
However, is that warranted?
Drones have already shaken up the job market. In fact, according to Business Insider,...
I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid. That, and to win a basketball dunk contest. I think the dream really was more about kicking gravity than anything else. And now, I’m so lucky to be in an industry where we try, day-by-day, to get just a little closer to that dream. Aerial imaging has transformed into a way for me to see the...
Air shows have evolved greatly over the years. In the past, these displays have involved human aviators showing off their flying skills, with the first international aircraft show hosted in France in 1909. By 1910, aviators were competing with one another in races, aerial acrobatics, and other aerial stunts. As plane technology evolved...
DAR ES SALAAM (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Tanzania's government is set to deploy drones to speed up land mapping in rural areas in a bid to halt frequent and sometimes deadly clashes between farmers and cattle herders over land and scarce water resources.
In 2014, local media reported repeated outbreaks of fighting over land in...
For the first time, a successful, Federal Aviation Administration approved, drone delivery in an urban environment has taken place and it's causing a stir across the technology world. The most interesting development may be that a smaller company took on Goliaths like Amazon, Google, and Wal-Mart, and beat them.
Drones delivering...
