#Airware Launches Its Commercial Drone Operating system Drones could save businesses big money by doing dull, dirty,
Commercial businesses can now license Airware Flight Core autopilot technology, Ground Control Station for dispatching drones,
Airware integrated hardware software, and cloud system lets enterprises customize drones to check on gas pipelines,
survey farm land, inspect cell towers, patrol property, or do search & rescue, Now wel see just how many businesses will pay a monthly subscription for Airware to power their drones for industrial inspections, agriculture management, anti-poaching, and more.
But long-term, theyl likely be commoditized as hardware makers around the globe clone and undercut each other on price.
Whatever companies makes the software that runs these drones would make serious profits for years to come.
Following a brief introduction by Airware CEO Jonathan Downey, CTO Buddy Michini demonstrated Airware core technologies:
the Flight Core autopilot system, which provides the brains to each drone that Airware powers,
the Ground Control Station that lets a single user operate a fleet of drones from a Windows laptop or tablet,
and then painstakingly dump the data back to your servers, Airware can handle the whole process.
enhance it with cloud widgets to customize their drone to the day use case, and the data flows back automatically.
After several similar demos, Drone America CEO Mike Richards spoke about using his company larger drones with Airware software for missions outside of traditional industrial uses.
which lets customers create widgets for the Ground Control Station in the C# programming language. These widgets are actually the main reason Airware is sticking with Windows for its tablet app.
Instead of requiring customers to build their own app with the exact drone interface needed, building on Windows will allow them to download the same app to each tablet
but provide different interfaces by simply checking off which widgets should be available to different workers in the field on the cloud backend.
Michini was excited also to talk about the App Core which will provide a full-on Linux computer for developers to work with in addition to the standard Flight Core autopilot and Ground Control Station integration.
When it rolls out to select Airware partners this summer, this new system will let customers take advantage of more advanced sensor
and image processing tools without sacrificing an interface that actually usable for operators in the field.
Airware can roll out new products like App Core without having to find new companies to sell to or upsell its current customers.
It just added investment from Intel capital to the money from GE, A16z, Kleiner, First Round, Google Ventures,

3d printing is now being utilized to make sure the inner workings of our bodies are running swimmingly.
Two professors of nanoengineering from the University of California San diego are utilizing advanced 3d printing technology to produce icrofish fish-shaped microrobotic devices geared towards traveling
The microfish were manufactured with microscale continuous optical printing (COP), an advanced, high-resolution form of 3d printing that was created in Chen laboratory.
The COP printer functions at a rapid pace, and is able to produce hundreds of their microfish within seconds of printing.
What makes this printer so efficient is its digital micromirroring array device chip (DMD), containing millions of micromirrors that function separately from one another to cast the desired microfish design onto photosensitive material,
which is solidified then once exposed to UV LIGHT. This advanced process results in these 3d printed microfish, able to swim naturally through liquids,
while being controlled magnetically and propelled by a hydrogen peroxide solution. The nanoengineering team was then able to modify the microfish body with various nanoparticles,
Chen and Wang have conducted demonstrations to show the great potential of combining 3d printing with nanoengineering, installing polydiacetylene (PDA) nanoparticles within the microfish.
helping medical professionals gather their diagnosis from swimming throughout the body with these microfish. 3d printing enthusiasts are amazed oftentimes by

"3d printing of metal radically changes that. By looking at 3d printing not for that overall structure
but to create individual modular structures that can be combined, that 3d printing transforms everything, "said Czinger during an interview with Reuters in Silicon valley.
According to Czinger, 3d printing transforms everything by changing the way the structural components of cars are fabricated.
Currently cars are pieced together on long assembly lines inside large factories that use massive amounts of energy.
especially when we are talking about the core enabling technologies, "he said. The core enabling technology, the ability to print out car components that can be assembled easily,

This freely available open source software now offers a user friendly solution. Colour vision varies substantially across the animal kingdom,
one photograph taken through a visible-pass filter can be combined by the software with a second taken through an ultraviolet-pass filter.
The software can then generate functions to show the image through an animal eyes. The researchers have provided specific data on camera settings for commonly studied animals, such as humans, blue tits, peafowl, honey bees, ferrets and some fish.
