#BMW VW join forces to build fast-charging stations for electric cars in US German car companies, BMW and Volkswagen are teaming up with Chargepoint to install a network of fast-charging stations for electric cars in the U s. The companies plan to install nearly 100 Chargepoint ports on the U s. East
and changing the thrust of its motors, similar to that of a quadcopter. This makes the Volocopter VC200 easy to pilot.
Experimental projects are even testing how to dispatch farm drones (crop-spying quadcopters for example) that measure everything from reflectivity to water loss to optimize the efficiency of a farm operations. rom our perspective:
Video)##The aircraft, called quadcopters because they have four rotors, navigate using signals from Global positioning system (GPS RECEIVERS,
if we fly a quadrotor, and see something go wrong in its mind, we can terminate the code before it hits the wall, or breaks.
In test scenarios, the group has flown physical quadrotors over projections of forests, shown from an aerial perspective to simulate a drone view as
and directed quadrotors to take images of the terrain images that could eventually be used to eachthe robots to recognize signs of a particularly dangerous fire.
Because the Federal aviation administration has placed restrictions on outdoor testing of quadrotors and other autonomous flying vehicles Omidshafiei points out that testing such robots in a virtual environment may be the next best thing.
#Snake Robots And A Quadcopter Fuse Together In this Chimera Drone Rescue robots are better when they travel in packs.
Quadcopter drones can quickly fly over and around obstacles but once on the ground they can t too much besides take off again.
A new chimera-like creation from the Modular Robotics Lab at the University of Pennsylvania combines two snakebots and one quadcopter into a sort of drone superorganism bringing rescue robots together
and experimental results for landing a quadrotor on a ground rover. The two robots communicate their positions converge to a common docking location and the dock successfully both indoors and out.

#Three new quadrotor videos demonstrate agile control and the power of machine learning The team at the ETH Flying Machine Arena has released three new videos demonstrating quadrotors building tensile structures tossing a ball back and forth
and refining a figure-eight trajectory using iterative learning. Worth the watch!!Building Tensile Structures with Flying Machinesfederico Augugliaro:
his video shows quadrocopters assembling prototypical tensile structures. Part of a body of research in aerial construction a field that addresses the construction of structures with the aid of flying machines theâ video demonstrates that flying machines are capable of autonomously spanning a rope between two support points.
and evaluating quadrocopter interception trajectories. Each trajectory goes from an arbitrary initial state (position velocity and acceleration) to an arbitrary final state.
The evaluation of the trajectory includes determining input feasibility and state feasibility (e g. that the position of the quadrocopter remains inside a box.
Iterative Learning for Periodic Quadrocopter Maneuversmarkus Hehn: his video demonstrates an iterative learning algorithm that allows accurate trajectory tracking for quadrocopters executing periodic maneuvers.
The algorithm uses measurements from past executions in order to find corrections that lead to better tracking performance.
The method is also applicable to more complex tasks shown here by the example of the quadrocopter balancing a pole

A quadrocopter swoops through the air to serve a glass of water without spilling a drop.
He goes on to show a series of pretty amazing quadrotor feats that would be sophisticated impossible without automatic feedback.

#Quadrocopter Drones from China The market of remote controlled quadrocopter drones is growing fast. The world's first crash avoiding drone comes from Guangzhou Walkera Technology Co. Ltd. a Chinese manufacturer of R c model toys such as helicopters
Mind-controlled quadrotor dronemind controlled drones are a hot area for researchers at Zhejiang University in Hangzou China who have adapted a Parrot AR Drone 2. 0 to be operated by an Emotiv EPOC
#Watch flying machines weave a rope bridge you can walk on Using quadrocopters and some rope, researchers have woven together a bridge strong enough to walk across.
The arena is equipped with a motion capture system that provides vehicle position and attitude measurements for the small custom quadrocopters.
and secured into place by the quadrocopters, which are equipped each with a motorized spool that allows them to control the tension of the rope.
and torques exerted on the quadrocopter by the rope during deployment, and takes this into account
in order to ensure that the quadrocopters behave as desired 5. The researchers then walk across the bridge to demonstrate its load-bearing ability.
Consumer drone makers are growing fast as quadcopters become the hot new toy for kids and adults alike.
000 square acres rather than the 100 acres a quadcopter can handle. It was easily the most exciting flight of the day,
there's still a long way to go before quadcopters are dropping parcels in your front yard.
One focus of the group current work is integrating this system into ery small aerial platformslike the foldable quadrotor the lab recently developed.
and capture a lot more data than a DJI-like quadcopter. Jay Bregman, the former CEO of Hailo, is verified developing database of drones,
and filaments to print quadcopters already embedded with the electronics that allow them to hover in the air.
At CES, Voxel8 showed off a quadcopter printed with its machine. The flying toy was built in layers the structure of the device was printed in plastic with cavities carved out for the control logic board and the motors.
#Sonar-Powered Drone Wants to Be Your Fishing Buddy The Aguadrone is a quadcopter that uses sonar to tell you where the catch is.
One of the key advertised benefits of this novel quadcopter is its low operational costs:
