Unveiling the Duel of Digital Design - A Comprehensive Exploration of History, Syntax, and Applications of the two popular hardware description languages
In this episode, we explore how the mechanics of bird wings are inspiring new approaches to prevent airplanes from stalling and learn how bio-mimetic designs from nature are paving the way for innovations in aviation, enhancing stability and safety for future flights.
Taking inspiration from bird feathers, Princeton engineers have found that adding rows of flaps to a remote-controlled aircraft’s wings improves flight performance and helps prevent stalling, a condition that can jeopardize a plane’s ability to stay aloft.
Engineers at EPFL and the University of Geneva believe they hold the key to automated drone mapping. By combining artificial intelligence with a new algorithm, their method promises to considerably reduce the time and resources needed to accurately scan complex landscapes.
In this episode, we talk about how an app leveraging 3 sets of machine learning algorithms aims to reduce waste and emissions by creating 3D models of feet and the hoverfly inspired AI that will be keeping airfields safe from small drones via acoustic mapping and filtering.
Could drones provide a safe and effective alternative to sending out ships, helicopters and cranes in future, and could they take some of the pressure off of maintenance staff?
This is a multicopter that can fly close to bridges, overpasses, and other pieces of large infrastructure to perform high-pressure washing. Water is pumped to high pressure on the ground, then sent to the drone via a hose.
University of Aberdeen has partnered with Duke University to develop a UAV system capable of studying bottlenose dolphins to determine how environmental changes impact the populations
To satisfy the increasing requirements for speed and accuracy of Quadcopters, a Ph.D. student proposed novel designs and approaches in estimation and control algorithms.
What happens when the radio connection to a drone is interrupted? How can drones fly autonomously even in congested traffic? These and other questions were addressed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in the final phase of its City Air Traffic Management (City-ATM) project.
Protolab's supported General Drones with the creation of numerous high-density and low-porosity parts that made up the Auxdron LFG; a purpose-built drone which responds to emergencies at sea.
In this episode, we talk about additive manufacturing being used to create fuel injection nozzles for marine applications and the subterranean 3D printed drone being used to combat food insecurity.
