Amazon Gets Tough With The FAA

I'm not sure anything Amazon said to the FAA could be considered "getting tough." Personally, I don't think the FAA even cares if Amazon moves drone operations overseas.
"In the absence of timely approval by the FAA to conduct outdoor testing," Amazon said in its letter, "we have begun utilizing outdoor testing facilities outside the United States. These non-U.S. facilities enable us to quickly build and modify our Prime Air vehicles as we construct new designs and make improvements."

DJI Inspire 1 early prototype clips of Maui - 4K by Randy Jay Braun


I know 4K won't make a difference on YouTube, but still...

I have DJI Inspire 1 prototype serial #6. It is completely hand-built by engineers about 2 months before release. There were still a few bugs back then.

What a dream to be requested to "go to Maui with this and capture footage".

The final release version (Dec 2014) will blow people away.

Hands-On with DJI's Inspire 1 Quadcopter! by Tested


DJI's new quadcopter is one of the coolest we've seen--a huge upgrade from the current Phantom 2 Vision+ we've been using. The Inspire 1 can record 4K video, lifts its propeller struts, and transmit clear HD video to the pilot. We chat in-depth with Eric Cheng, DJI's Director of Aerial Imaging, about all the new features in the Inspire 1 and then take it out for a test flight!

Thanks to Eric Cheng and DJI for the video coverage and showing us the Inspire !

Watch this insectoid robot brutally attack a cute plush toy
I already hate this thing for its horribly evil insect-like looks and creepy agility, but any robot that can grab cute teddy bears in a death grip deserves a little respect. Thus, we present to you the omni-directional insect robot.

Pentagon to Test Guided Parachute Drops From UAVs


In August, the first UAV-to-soldier airdrop test will occur in California, using a small unmanned airplane and guided parachutes. An all-composite T-20 Arcturus unmanned airplane will drop 10-pound supplies during a test at Camp Roberts. The T-20 is being made to fly missions up to 16 hours long, navigate waypoints and land autonomously.

PhantomX Quadropod Prototype

RISE


A climbing robot that grasps the micro-texture of the surface using special feet and special motions. The development team includes U Penn, Stanford, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon and Boston Dynamics. The work was funded by DARPA.

LegLab

PETMAN Prototype


Biped robot that balances dynamically using a human-like walking motion. It is a close relative to BigDog, sharing elements of the mechanical design and control.

Robot Fish


A robotic fish developed by scientists from Essex University is put through its paces in a special tank at the London Aquarium. It works via sensors and has autonomous navigational control.

LittleDog


LittleDog was developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from DARPA. It is used for research on legged locomotion and learning by groups at MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, USC, U Penn and IHMC.

BigDog Weaponized


BigDog ready for battle.

Israeli Military Testing 'robotic' Snake


According to news reports, the Israeli military has developed a "robotic" snake that can transmit video and audio as it crawls through difficult terrain. 

X-37B on Atlas V 501


A secret space plane that has been years in the making is now set to launch into the final frontier. The United States Air Force plans to launch the X37B orbital test vehicle tomorrow, to perform a series of tests. Is this the beginning of the United States going above and beyond in space exploration or the beginning of the militarization of space?

Unmanned solar aircraft redefines the term long haul flight


Having a plane that can fly continuously without refueling has long been a dream of military planners, but that dream might soon become reality if the QinetiQ Zephyr solar plane lives up to its billing.

NXT Segway with Leaning Rider




Yes, it's a toy... but, the potential is pretty high to have it enhanced for robotic patrols with a chain-gun attached.

'SpiderBot' shoots tethered plungers to move around like Spider-Man


From the Ben Gurion University's robotics lab in Israel comes the SpiderBot, which gets around in much the same way as the Man. The robot's webs are actually tethered plungers that it can pull away from a surface, reel back in and then aim and shoot with its swiveling arms. It's still a little slow when it comes to getting around, but could this wall-climber be the first step toward a robot that uses swinging as its main method of locomotion?
Not much else is known about the SpiderBot. Will it fight crime? Just crack-wise? Who knows...
