Workshop to grow drone racing community

CNY Drones, in partnership with sister organization, the Academy of Model Aeronautics University Model Aviation Student Club #15104 (SUNY AMA), is accepting applications for an exclusive drone racer program on Saturday, August 17, 2019 at SUNY Polytechnic Institute’s Utica Campus. Project Drone Racer, a 6-hour, single-day drone building session, intends to grow recreational drone enthusiasts as drone racers and freestylers.

The training will provide newcomers with the ability to build and repair their own racing drones while introducing them to a local support network of fellow pilots. CNY Drones’ recreational drone community presents year-round STEM-focused drone programs from interactive demonstrations to a task-centered team challenge to tech meets and races. CNY Drones and SUNY AMA joined forces in 2017 to promote both student interest and adult interaction with their younger counterparts interested in drone technology.

Amazon Gets Patent for Drone Surveillance System That Could Send the Company’s Eyes Into the Sky

Amazon may soon send drones into the sky to gather data with the help of drone surveillance technology. Earlier this month, the retailer received a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a new data-gathering system.

With this latest patent, Amazon expands its information-collecting reach. While the company rose to prominence selling information (also known as book sales), the Seattle-based mega retailer has gone deep into data collection with its always-listening virtual assistant, home-monitoring company, and a facial recognition tool it offers to law enforcement.

In the first line of Amazon’s patent, the filing would allow an “unmanned aerial vehicle” to gather data about the places it flies over. The patent notes that Amazon’s drone would obtain data about objects within and around a specified “geo-fence,” or a virtual boundary. An option to surveil only authorized areas would offer the ability to keep other areas private.

Amazon filed the patent in 2015, two yea..
