Researchers recorded the sounds drones make with chipped or cracked propellers and failing motors. Their aim is to let a ground station flag a drone as unairworthy before takeoff. Engineers at the University of Cincinnati are using sound to help NASA detect damaged drone motors and propellers before a crash occurs. Prissha Chawla, a doctoral student in the UC College of … [Read more...] about University of Cincinnati Engineers Use Sound to Detect Drone Damage for NASA

Drone Nose? Japanese Researchers Develop New Hydrogel To Combine Bug Antennae with Drones
This article published in collaboration with JUIDA, the Japan UAS Industrial Development Association. Shinshu University and Chiba University researchers kept a silkworm moth antenna sensor above 92% of its initial signal after seven hours. They also showed a small drone moving forward when the antenna detected an odor. A research group from Shinshu … [Read more...] about Drone Nose?
