A 12-ton fishing boat weighs anchor three kilometers off the port of Adelaide. A small crew huddles over a miniature submarine, activates the controls, primes the explosives, and releases it into the water. The underwater drone uses sensors and sonar to navigate towards its pre-programmed target: the single, narrow port channel responsible for the state’s ...
The United States military plans to start using thousands of autonomous war robot systems in the next two years in a bid to counter China’s growing power, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks announced in a speech. The so-called Replicator initiative aims to work with defense and other tech companies to produce high volumes ...
The basic configuration of traditional propellers has not fundamentally changed since the first powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903. However, as engineers learn more about aerodynamics and attempt new experiments, propellers are evolving into more complex shapes. These feature multiple blades, high sweep angles, blade tip devices, and other features to optimize performance ...
The extraordinary footage of a Russian jet intercepting a U.S. drone over the Black Sea demonstrates just how potentially disastrous such encounters outside actual war zones can be. Released by the Pentagon, the drone’s own video captures the Russian aircraft apparently spraying the drone with fuel, then deliberately colliding with it. The incident matches similar ...
You might suppose that Hollywood is good at predicting the future.

This now applies to killer robots. Hollywood’s ...
A new drone on the scene is called the Smellicopter. One huge advantage of drones is that these little robots can go places where people can’t, including areas that might be too dangerous, such as unstable structures after a natural disaster or a region with unexploded devices. Researchers are interested in developing devices that can ...
A short film depicting a future where AI killer drones mass murder human beings is raising serious questions about how safe people are going to be in a world of unrestrained technological development. Drone killers Created by the Future of Life Institute (FLI) to educate the public about the necessity of setting up controls over ...
The Chinese military is deploying a vast surveillance network over the South China Sea using drones. Drone tech has increased Beijing’s ability to collect intelligence from even the hardest-to-reach regions, according to a report by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNS). Drone watch in the South China Sea Drones in the surveillance system offer high-definition ...
Chinese-made drones are susceptible to cyber espionage, according to U.S. officials — and the government seems to be preparing to crack down on the threat. Security issues with Chinese drones Drones are multi-purpose. They can be used for disaster relief, commercial aerial surveillance, filmmaking, and oil and mineral exploration among other things. Most of the ...
The creation of robots that mimic human movements perfectly has been a long-standing dream of scientists all across the world. Boston Dynamics from Massachusetts is a robotics company that is taking humanity closer to such a goal. Atlas from Boston Dynamics is a humanoid that not only fascinates but terrifies because of its immense potential ...
