Technology: Scientists Create ‘Chemputer’ Designed To Grow Drones (Video)
August 7, 2017
Crazy. Not only would this manufacturing method be quick, but the customization possibilities could be limitless! If we get to the level of on-demand ‘made to order’ drones… wow! The range of uses alone would be exciting… and at least a touch scary (since it would first be used by the military AND those drones look like some Skynet *ish off the Terminator movies). Still, incredible concept tech though.
During this century, scientists and engineers from BAE Systems and The University of Glasgow envisage that small Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) bespoke to military operations, could be ‘grown’ in large-scale labs through chemistry, speeding up evolutionary processes and creating bespoke aircraft in weeks, rather than years.

Technology: Stopping Intrusive ‘Rogue Drones’ (Video)
April 24, 2017
I actually heard about using raptors to take down unwelcome drones. But the rest of these though, interesting.
How do you take down an illegal drone? Here are 4 Insane ways…
– Freeze Lists
A couple of things about this video though… First, notice that once you assign a ‘term’ to a problem, the campaign combatting it intensifies, Case in point, did you know there was a fight against ‘rogue drones’ until we started calling them that? Second, anybody see how this might be another way to pit robots against humans? We will need to be VERY careful about who we deem ‘rogue humans’ (uh oh, is that a ‘term’).

Technology: AirDog, A Personal Quadcopter Camcorder System (Video)
June 18, 2014
95% funded on Kickstarter. This is happening!
AirDog is a personal quadcopter camcorder system designed to automatically follow and film users with a GoPro camera. The AirDog system includes the quadcopter, an AirLeash wireless device used by the quadcopter to track users, a device used to stabilize any attached GoPro camera, software and other enabling technologies (including an optional smartphone app to manually control the quadcopter). The designers’ vision is that the AirDog be used to better record extreme sports.
Why confine yourself to stationary videos, or ground-level perspective? The AirDog takes things to a whole new level!
Check out the video. Exciting visuals, with angles akin to what you would get on television broadcasts.

VICE: Israeli Killer Robots (Video)
July 25, 2013
‘Israel is the world’s biggest exporter of military drones, used around the world for everything from surveillance to precision rocket attacks on speeding cars in remote locales. Israel’s drone program hasn’t stirred as much controversy as its American counterpart, but not because their targeted killings are any less fatal. VICE sent Simon Ostrovsky to a drone testing airfield in Israel to find out what their latest eye-in-the-sky can see.’
