Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) have developed an AI simulation platform that allows users to design and iterate hybrid drones in a matter... Read more
MIT researchers are making huge leaps in drone innovation by thinking smaller. A team led by professors Vivienne Sze and Sertac Karaman created a customized micro-chip that will empower tiny... Read more
MIT engineers have done it again – this time creating an autonomous glider drone that can survey hundreds of miles of ocean surface all while being powered naturally by the wind. Created to... Read more
Perfecting autonomous flight is no mean feat. Even the simplest, most obvious obstacles can be a challenge to navigate. The result in computer science labs developing autonomous systems is o... Read more
The state of Massachusetts held State House Innovation Day yesterday – and the drone industry was present and accounted for. The Massachusetts TechHUB Caucus hosted its 3rd marquee Inn... Read more
Aerospace giant Boeing will act as the lead donor in an $18 million project allowing MIT to construct a new, updated wind tunnel. The replacement of the 79-year-old Wright Brothers Wind Tun... Read more
Two years ago, the Pentagon’s top think-tank issued a science-fiction level challenge to researchers – develop a disposable, vanishing drone. In 2015, the Defense Advanced Research Projects... Read more
MIT researchers are working to create miniature brains for miniature drones – designing a computer chip specifically for the purpose. “Standard computer chips for quadcopt... Read more
Researchers at MIT have developed a gasoline powered drone with a 5 day flight time. The glider-like drone is designed to carry a communications payload that could establish a temporary tel... Read more
Predictive computer simulations are supposed to be the stuff of Hollywood movies. The kind that show you what will happen to the Earthbound asteroid if Bruce Willis fires the nukes at a cert... Read more
Two Cambridge groups have been awarded a $3.4 million grant to develop insect drones: tiny, autonomous, and fast-flying drones that mimic the flight capabilities of birds and insects. Drape... Read more
While some drones have played the villain in recent media reports covering firefighting efforts, a plan to deploy a fleet of autonomous drones may extinguish concerns and dampen UAV naysayer... Read more
(Source: Market Watch) When a 2-pound drone crashed on the White House lawn in January, the nation was thrown into drone hysteria. That drone was a $1,000 model made by Chinese technology... Read more
