Although the buzz about advancements in drone technology has seemed to fade as of late, progress is continually being made on the global forefront. Clean energy, flight optimization, police utility, and both medication and product delivery are just some of the projects taken on by companies seeking to revolutionize this relatively new field.
Utilization of hydrogen fuel sources has been shown in numerous test runs to maximize flight times and reduce the carbon footprint left by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). According to a spokesperson from the “clean tech” British company H2GO, lithium-ion battery implementation only allows the drone flight for less than half an hour, which can be upgraded to almost an hour and a half with the use of hydrogen fuel. Longer flight times -such as a record-breaking 12 hours -have been made possible with the use of liquid hydrogen, lightweight gas cylinders, and drones made of lighter material.
3D printed UAVs may not sound revolutionary to some, but a..

Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation
TOKYO—Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502, Toshiba) and Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (hereinafter “ESS”), companies dedicated to providing industry with solutions that raise operational efficiency and productivity, have developed a drone-based inspection technology for complex industrial facilities, such as power plants, oil refineries and chemical manufactures. The new solution comprises 3D laser measurement technology, a drone-mounted video camera, optimized flight route creation technology for the drone, and image recognition technology to identify the condition of plant structures and check for signs of fatigue and deterioration. The process ends the need for people to carry out perilous inspections in dangerous places, and Toshiba and ESS are currently refining the technology to application level through verification testing in Japan.
Many of Japan’s plants and facilities were built during the perio..
Lisenbee: Drones? Deer hunting? An ethical quandary emerges

There is no need to be shy of new technology, but the DEC needs to address the use of drones specifically for New York hunters
I received an e-mail from a reader last week, and it sure got me to thinking. Are drones that are equipped with a video camera lawful for hunting deer in New York? But the DEC on-line guide gave me the answer — I think.
The regulations state very clearly that it is unlawful to hunt any big game with the use of any “aircraft.” Since that agency does not define an aircraft, the widest definition must be applied. Therefore, since a drone flies, it has to be defined as an aircraft. And therefore, it is unlawful for use while a hunter is actively hunting big game.
Still, there are a potential problems looming for deer hunters. What does the DEC do about the use of drones? These contraptions are popping up everywhere, and their cost seems to be going lower as the competition in that industry becomes more intense. But seve..

Autonomous drone cameras have been trialed for several years to detect signs of life in disaster zones.
As long as the upper torso of a human body is visible, the cameras can pick up the tiny movements in the chest cavity that indicate a heartbeat and breathing rate.
Using new technology, researchers have discovered a computer vision system capable of spotting survivors in disaster zones from a distance of 4 to 8 metres.
Autonomous drone cameras have been trialled for several years to detect signs of life in disaster zones. Now, in a world-first study, researchers from Adelaide and Iraq have taken this a step further.

Stunning new footage shot from the sky is offering an invaluable insight into Iceland’s disappearing ice.
Old aerial images have been combined with modern-day drone photography to demonstrate the dramatic fashion in which some its largest glaciers are melting.
The groundbreaking 3D process has been created by Dundee University scientist Kieran Baxter, who has documented the scale of ice-loss on a group of outlet glaciers on the south side of Vatnajokull, one of the largest ice caps in Europe.
Dr Baxter, a researcher at the university’s Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, led the two-year project in collaboration with the University of Iceland and the Icelandic Meteorological Office, who conduct glacier monitoring in the country.
He said: “We have produced images that are engaging and easy to understand.
“It is important to show how climate change is physically and visib..
