In the drone industry, it is taken nearly as gospel that small uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) will allow people to do their jobs better, safer, and faster than whatever the traditional method happens to be—especially when it comes to public safety. However, if you are making decisions that have financial consequences or lives on the line, it isn’t enough to believe it. You must be able to prove it. That’s the job of researchers like Dr. Joseph Cerreta at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) Worldwide Campus: to build the case through the scientific process that drones really can deliver results comparable to legacy systems, which have demonstrated their reliability through decades of service. Specifically, Dr. Cerreta wanted to see how 3D models created by Pix4D … From https://www.rotordronepro.com/csi-from-above-drone-mapping-vs-terrestrial-laser-scanners/ From https://jefffraley1.blogspot.com/2020/04/csi-from-above-drone-mapping-vs.html From https://angelahill0.blogspot.com/2020/04/csi-from-above-drone-mapping-vs.html from https://angelahill0.wordpress.com/2020/04/09/csi-from-above-drone-mapping-vs-terrestrial-laser-scanners/ from https://lillianheiman.blogspot.com/2020/04/csi-from-above-drone-mapping-vs.html

This is a fleet of TBS Caipirinha 2 FPV Flying Wing with mRo x2.1 Autopilot inside with integrated FPV equipment. I choose the mRo x2.1 Autopilot because it is very Easy to integrate Slim Form Factor Very clean for wiring Powerful, there are two versions STM32F427 and STM32F777. So you can choose the one that suits you best or in the future just upgrade to your platforms without having to make changes. Cheap, just $99dlls with the STM32F427 processor and theSTM32F777 $139.99 dlls Made in USA. Also you can build any type of autonomous platform by starting with a very convenient Form-Factor under Dronecode Project standards. The mRo X2.1 is the reduced version of PixHawk1 but with better sensors and more flexibility. … From http://diydrones.com/xn/detail/705844:BlogPost:4028784 From https://jefffraley1.blogspot.com/2020/04/why-i-decided-to-use-mro-x21-autopilot.html From https://angelahill0.blogspot.com/2020/04/why-i-decided-to-use-mro-x21-autopilot.html from https://angelahill0.wordpress.com/2020/04/04/why-i-decided-to-use-mro-x2-1-autopilot-inside-a-fixed-wing-fleet/ from https://lillianheiman.blogspot.com/2020/04/why-i-decided-to-use-mro-x21-autopilot.html Many DIY flying projects require professional composite manufacturing.

Drones seem to be an appropriate solution to tackle this menace. Apart from the transportation of emergency medical & pharmaceutical supplies, health-kits and blood samples, these unmanned aerial vehicles can effectively aid authorities in administering a state of lockdown. A report in South China Morning Post says, the Chinese government “has adapted and co-opted industrial drones to help ensure that an estimated 50 million residents are kept at home and indoors across a dozen cities.” A fleet of drones is estimated to replace the surveillance capacity and enforcement duties of … From http://diydrones.com/xn/detail/705844:BlogPost:4027137 From https://jefffraley1.blogspot.com/2020/04/using-drones-to-maintain-social.html From https://angelahill0.blogspot.com/2020/04/using-drones-to-maintain-social.html from https://angelahill0.wordpress.com/2020/04/03/using-drones-to-maintain-social-distancing-during-a-lockdown/ from https://lillianheiman.blogspot.com/2020/04/using-drones-to-maintain-social.html Everything is shut down for at least another month. Schools, restaurants and workplaces are stalled. However, teachers are still hard at work trying to provide a valuable education to parents, guardians, and students. Parents and guardians, are feeling a little overwhelmed with work and providing education from home. Let’s take a look at some resources to give parents, guardians and even students some reprieve. The first item of business is to remember to breathe. Give yourself a break. Many of you are working and are now expected to educate as well.

(right) Foam drone with optical flow sensors for attempted obstacle avoidance, Summer 2002. Today it is universally acknowledged that drones operating close to the ground need some sort of obstacle avoidance. What I am about to tell is the story of our own first attempt at putting obstacle avoidance on a drone, during the years 2001 through 2003, using neuromorphic artificial insect vision hardware. I enjoy telling this story, since the lessons learned run contrary to even current practice but, upon reflection, should be common sense. I learned an important lesson that is still relevant today: The best results are obtained with a systemic approach in which the drone and any obstacle avoidance hardware are holistically co-… From http://diydrones.com/xn/detail/705844:BlogPost:3973222 From https://jefffraley1.blogspot.com/2020/03/drone-obstacle-avoidance-in-2003-264.html From https://angelahill0.blogspot.com/2020/03/drone-obstacle-avoidance-in-2003-264.html from https://angelahill0.wordpress.com/2020/03/20/drone-obstacle-avoidance-in-2003-264-pixels-and-8-bit-processors/ from https://lillianheiman.blogspot.com/2020/03/drone-obstacle-avoidance-in-2003-264.html Greetings. This is a cross-post from the ArduPilot blog. UAVCAN was first announced six years ago, in early 2014, as an RFC doc published on this website. Over the following few years, it saw adoption in numerous systems – mostly UAV, naturally, but also including spacecraft, micromobility vehicles, and even racing cars. The vast empirical data collected from fielded systems over the years allowed us to identify the weak points in the design and eventually enabled us to come up with the rectified, field-proven stable design which we call UAVCAN v1.0. The stable version was first announced about 18 months ago. Expectedly, the fact that v1.0 breaks wire compatibility with the original design based on that first RFC caused concern among the adopters. The resistance is understandable … From http://diydrones.com/xn/detail/705844:BlogPost:3944387 from From https://jefffraley1.blogspot.com/2020/03/uavcan-v10-is-here.html from From https://angelahill0.blogspot.com/2020/03/uavcan-v10-is-here.html from https://angelahill0.wordpress.com/2020/03/13/uavcan-v1-0-is-here/ from https://lillianheiman.blogspot.com/2020/03/uavcan-v10-is-here.html LightWare is delighted to launch our new long range microLiDAR.

The fires, now mostly contained, thanks to heavy rains across the country, have destroyed upwards of 10,000,000 acres. Additionally, more than 1 billion of the region’s wildlife population have perished due to these fires. 33 human lives have also been lost. American toy maker Funko, seeing the dire situation, came forward in support of the country and it’s cleanup efforts. Funko is releasing a limited-edition Funko pop figurine for Australian firefighters. The toy, named, Bush Fire Heroes features the Koala, whose habitat has been nearly completely destroyed.
