In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

It consists of an array of five long-range optical cameras along with two onboard processing modules, all of which are mounted on either a multicopter or fixed-wing drone. Working in conjunction with ...

One reason why drone swarms haven’t been used more widely is the risk of gridlock within the swarm. Studies on the collective movement of animals show that each agent tends to coordinate its movements ...

The ArduIMU Quadcopter is a DIY Arduino helicopter that has been ingeniously designed to avoid objects and not bump into things. This innovative helicopter features four rotors and is equipped with ...
