➀ The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) conducted a live trial using robotic dogs to detect and defuse bomb threats successfully.
➁ The trial involved L3Harris, Marlborough Communications Ltd, and AeroVironment (Tomahawk Robotics), with the UK Ministry of Defence scientists.
➂ The robotic dogs autonomously opened doors, navigated stairs, and inspected IEDs, with drones assisting in threat identification and safety monitoring.
➀ TDK has announced two series of Pb-free bead thermistors;
➁ These thermistors can measure temperatures between -40 °C and +155 °C;
➂ They are designed for automotive and industrial applications such as battery packs and drones.
➀ MIT engineers have developed a training method for multiagent systems that ensures safe operation in crowded environments. This method can automatically scale to larger groups by training a few agents.
➁ In real-world tests, small drones successfully switched positions midflight and landed on moving vehicles. Simulations confirmed that the same training, applied to a few drones, could be extended to thousands.
➂ The method introduces GCBF+, a new approach for ensuring safe navigation in multiagent systems. It simplifies the computation of safety zones by considering an agent’s sensing radius and using simulations to guide agents while maintaining safety.
➀ IG Drones, founded in 2018 by Om Prakash and Bodhisattwa Sanghapriya, specializes in defense, industrial, agricultural, and skilling applications.
➁ The company's products include the Jaga for industrial surveillance, the Kisan for agricultural spraying, and the Delta 400 and Skyhawk VTOL for defense purposes.
➂ IG Drones also offers anti-drone systems and is increasing R&D efforts to develop medium- and high-altitude drones and unmanned surface vehicles.
➀ The article discusses the introduction of laser-equipped drones at a drone show in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.
➁ It mentions the potential concerns and entertainment aspects of these laser drones.
➂ The information was highlighted by AV Magazine, a sister publication.
