and talking about drones is rather depressing, Â he said. That doesn't mean that TEDXSANAA was droneless.

One of the more popular moments at the event was a replay of a videotaped TED 2012 talk by University of Pennsylvania Professor Vijay Kumar on swarming drones, titled"Robots that fly...

 Though Kumar's talk focused on small civilian drones that could be used in situations such as earthquake recovery,

divorcing drones from the reality of their political and military applications is hard, even at TED.

The Drone Side of Life-Sometime over the coming months you can expect to see a version of the following help wanted ad:

Full-time aerial drone pilots needed to help manager our growing fleet of surveillance, delivery, and communication drones.

We are also looking for drone repair techs, drone dispatchers, and drone salesmen.##In 2010 the U s. Military spent $4. 5 billion on drones, increasing to $4. 8 billion in 2011.

With this kind of focused spending, military drone technology has improved dramatically over the past decade. But as a technology, future drones will go well beyond military uses.

The stage is being set for thousands of everyday uses in business and industry all over the world.

With basic drone hardware being matched up with smartphones, and the bottom-up design capabilities of app developers around the world, drones will quickly move from the realm of personal toys to functional necessities that we interact with on a daily basis. For those of you looking to switch careers,

the drone marketplace will create one of the hot new industries of the future. More details here. 23.

The Coming Transparency Wars Can you feel the layers being lifted? Transparency is entering our lives in unusual ways

and much like having individual veils lifted from a multi-veiled garment; we are now able to see the world around us with far greater clarity.

Recently, several misguided thinkers have proposed the notion that the more transparent our society becomes, the better off we ll be.

so that you can capture your flights in HD. There s also a whole raft of new sensors

That said, these drones have very short battery life (10 min max), and so far have little application outside of the hobbyist community.

The world of flying drones will become infinitely more useful when some of the following begin to appear:

7.)Flying-Hovering Monitor Drones Whenever an accident or disaster happens, the initial first-step should be to get eyes on the scene.#

#Dispatching a flying drone with video cameras that transmits a live feed back to a central command center will give first responders critical information to formulate an action plan before they arrive. 8.)Video Projector Drones Once a video projector is added to a flying drone,

or even on the side of a moving vehicle. 9.)Lighting Drones We ve been trapped into thinking that lighting can only be managed from stationary positions,

Audio Drones Drones outfitted with speakers are already being experimented with. Long Range Acoustic devices (LRAD) are being used as loud hailers to emit warning signals.

Audio drones, however, have far more potential in the marketing and entertainment fields. Floating and flying sounds create a far different sensation than stationary speakers.

Delivery Drones-Can you imagine a flying drone with UPS or Fedex on its side? Thinking beyond traditional delivery systems, flying drones could be used to deliver food, packages, water,

change out the batteries in your home, remove trash and sewage, and even vacuum the leaves from your front lawn.

#Agriculture the New Game of Drones Futurist Thomas Frey: A few days ago the people in Deer trail, Colorado made national news with a proposed ballot initiative to allow hunting licenses to shoot down flying drones.

Deer trail would charge $25 for drone hunting licenses, and the town would offer a $100 bounty reward for shooters who bring in debris from an unmanned aircraft from the U s. government.

This perfectly illustrates the growing paranoia associated with UAVS (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) often referred to as drones.

But the good people living in the farming community of Deer trail have obviously not been paying attention to the positive uses for drones

more specifically, the use of drones in agriculture. Even though the vast majority of drone use today is government and military,

one of the big emerging markets will be agriculture. Several new companies have begun moving into the ag-drone space,

but there are a few short-term problems. Current FAA rules limit their operation to under 400 feet

and to steer clear of airports and crowds on the ground. But that will change in a couple years.

The U s. Congress has mandated the FAA incorporate drones into national airspace by Sept. 30,2015. Many in this new industry are chomping at the bit to get started.

once drones get okayed for the national air space, the first 3 years will produce $13. 6 billion in economic activity

The FAA estimated up to 10,000 drones could be airborne in the U s. by 2018. Here s why that number is far too low.

Agriculture drones typically come in a fixed wing or quadcopter configuration Today s Ag Industry Drones There are many possible uses for flying drones,

and as we add capabilities, potential uses will grow dramatically. We are limited in our thinking to

but flying drones can be built large enough to move people and houses, and small enough to be invisible to the human eye.

or even a robotic arm can increase the utility of a drone exponentially. I ve written about some of these possibilities in previous articles.

Drones, however, have the ability to amp up awareness, giving farmers powerful tools for managing both the plant and its growing environment throughout its lifecycle.

Similarly, it s difficult to imagine a 20-ton tractor being replaced with swarms of flying drones.

The first iteration of tractor-replacing swarmbots will be based ground drones, with dozens of them working together to do the work of today s large tractors.

Phase 1#Data Drones Most of the drones today are focused on developing better information about the plants

Phase 2#Protection Drones Some companies are already working on Phase 2 drones capable of proactively protecting the crops from bugs, birds, disease,

protection drones may even be able to compensate for extreme weather conditions by applying warm foam during freezing conditions

Eventually there will be flying drones with lasers mounted on them. Because of the possible dangers, their use will be restricted highly, at least for the most powerful ones.

it s entirely possible to visualize a type of drone capable of breaking rocks, killing pests,

Over time, flying swarmbots will replace the ground-based drones, with thousands of tiny machines working in concert to replace the need for today s massive pieces of equipment.

Using a fleet of surveillance drones, equipped with special infrared cameras, fires can be spotted during the earliest moments of a containment window,

signaling a fleet of extinguisher drones to douse the blaze before anything serious happens. Drones specifically designed for extinguishing forest fires have the potential to eliminate virtually 100%of the devastating fires that blanket newspaper headlines every summer.

Naturally there s a downside to eliminating forest fires altogether so how should we proceed? The True Cost of Forest fires In 2012 the U s. Forest Service had a budget of $948 million for fire suppression, a decrease of nearly $500 million from 2011.

However, this same technology can be modified to work on flying drones to monitor fire activity on forestlands.

Oil exploration drone used in Norway Aerial drone technology is advancing exponentially and much of

high altitude aircraft, low attitude drones, or some combination of these, monitoring hotspots and instantly determining the danger level is well within our grasp.

Illustration of a fire extinguisher drone Final Thoughts I began this line of thinking looking for a solution to the wildfires we re currently experiencing here in my home state of Colorado.

Admittedly, managing a 24/7-drone fleet over our massively huge forestlands will be no small undertaking.

Surveillance drones will likely be separate from fire-suppression drones. Extinguishing a fire under several layers of tree canopy will also be a challenge.

Operating drones day and night through inclement conditions like wind hail, and rain will require an enormous effort.

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 s operations.#

#The future of drones expected to transform agriculture 80%of the commercial market for drones will eventually be for agricultural uses.

Drones are moving quickly from the battlefield to the farmer s field. They are on the verge of helping growers oversee millions of acres throughout rural America and saving them big money in the process.

While much of the attention regarding drones has focused recently on Amazon and UPS seeking to use them to deliver packages,

much of the future for drones is expected to come on the farm. That s because agriculture operations span large distances and are mostly free of privacy

and users of drones and other robotic equipment, predicts that 80%of the commercial market for drones will eventually be for agricultural uses.

the drone industry said it expects more than 100,000 jobs to be created and nearly half a billion in tax revenue to be generated collectively by 2025, much of it from agriculture.

a Denver-based company that sells drones and analyzes the data collected on corn, soybean and other field crops.

Drones which range in cost from $2, 000 for a plane the farmer puts together up to around $160,

Farmers also can use drones to tailor their use of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizer and other applications based on how much is needed at a specific point in a field a process known as precision agriculture saving the grower money from unnecessarily overusing resources

a corn and soybean farmer in Calhoun County in central Iowa, purchased a drone in 2013 for $30, 000 that is already paying dividends on his 900-acre farm.

While some farmers could join Johnson and buy their own drones, most are expected to hire companies that specialize in this niche market.

has positioned itself to sell drones in much the same way as General motors works with its dealers to peddle cars.

but said the firm is on pace to posttriple-digit growth in both hardware and (drone) sales.

Still, he said for drones to have a meaningful and long-lasting impact in agriculture, they need to be retrofitted with additional devices to collect more information such as thermal sensors to identify early signs of plant stress that can later be parsed,

drone use has been relegated largely to the military, but law enforcement and other government agencies can apply to the FAA for special permission to use them in civil airspace.

This year alone nearly three dozen states are considering legislation that would place restrictions on drone use and data collection.

Lawmakers say they feel compelled to start working on the issue as a wave of drones are starting to be considered for purposes ranging from finding missing children to delivering pizzas,

and others have protested the way the U s. military uses drones for operations overseas, they concede the technology could be beneficial for some with the proper oversight.

There are good uses for drones, I m not saying there s not, but we need to get a handle on it,

As farmers press ahead using drones, there is some uncertainty over how much flexibility the federal government has given really agriculture to use the aircraft.

Even farm operators and drone companies are divided over how much authority they have been given to fly the aircraft.

Later this year, the FAA is expected to propose rules for drones weighing less than 55 pounds.

Until then, the agency said some operators will continue to incorrectly assume they can operate drones under the guise of existing model aircraft rules

whether a farmer who decides to use his own drone to survey as part of his effort to run his business

The FAA does not allow drones to be used for commercial operations unless they apply for a special exemption.

Government and universities can operate drones as long as they get a waiver and fly them within a specific area.

The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International has been pressing the FAA to allow limited drone use for some operations like farmers

As federal regulators struggle to define how drones can be used for commercial purposes, many countries around the world have loose guidelines for how these devices can be used.

Drones are being used for agriculture in a slew of countries including Canada, Australia, Japan and Brazil.

told farm conference attendees in January that farmers should begin learning how to use drones rather than wait until the FAA acts.

#Could Drones Revolutionize Agriculture? SAN MATEO Calif. The word drone tends to conjure up images of planes that kill terrorists or of creepy surveillance tools.

But tiny drone airplanes made of foam may be more useful in rural environments one researcher says.

Because drones can fly cheaply at a low altitude they can get highly detailed images of cropland said Chris Anderson the CEO of 3d Robotics

Drone-captured close ups of fields could help farmers tailor their pesticide treatment and identify subtle differences in soil productivity.

Rise of the Drones: Photos of Unmanned Aircraft Vast unknown The automation of farming has led to fewer farmers tending massive plots of land.

 Plane power Drones provide a potential solution to this problem because they can provide high-resolution images of crops are cheap to make

Anderson is developing tiny foam drone airplanes that fly using a $170 autopilot essentially a brain for the plane that works in any kind of automated vehicle.

Because the drones fly low to the ground they can use cheap point -and-shoot technology to take pictures instead of the costly equipment that enables satellite imagery.

In addition drones can store ultra-precise GPS coordinates for each picture they take. That information allows the planes to stitch pictures together more accurately getting a better image of

and near-infrared images which could be captured in drone airplane imagery. More precise imagery could also allow farmers to target pesticides just to the plants that need them reducing how much ends up in the food supply Anderson said.

Drones could also be used by vineyards to make better wines by identifying patches of soil with richer moisture content.

#Build a Better Drone, for Wildlife Conservation (Op-Ed) David Wilkie is director of conservation support

Commonly called drones UAVS were once the domain of the military; now these devices show great promise in strengthening wildlife law enforcement.

Or instead drone technicians might envision Congo forest eco-guards getting a closer and safer look at what appears be a group of well-armed ivory poachers near a salt lick.

UAV developers might even conceive of a squadron of drones with heat-sensing cameras flying across the vast plains of Central asia's Ustyurt Plateau searching for signs of saiga-antelope poachers.

We challenge the conservation community to establish a competition for the development of practical and effective conservation drones.

#Banned Drone May have damaged Yellowstone Spring The U s. National park service has an important message for visitors: Leave your drones at home!

Unmanned aircraft were banned officially from U s. national parks in June 2014. But just last week on Aug 2 an unidentified tourist crashed a drone straight into the famous rainbow-colored Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone national park in Wyoming.

Park officials have yet to recover the drone and have not determined if the crash caused any damage to the site

but an investigation into the matter is ongoing Amy Bartlett a park spokesperson told Live Science.

while park officials aren't yet certain the tourist was likely flying the drone over the hot spring to capture an image or video.

Park officials haven't yet recovered the downed drone from Grand Prismatic partly because they have not determined where the vehicles landed in the spring Bartlett said.

Park officials have not identified the person responsible for the downed drone but Bartlett said that other park visitors did witness a tourist on a nearby boardwalk controlling a drone that later fell into Grand Prismatic.

The drone pilot did report the incident to officials at the park's visitor center

but it wasn't clear to Yellowstone employees at the time that the drone was still in the hot spring Bartlett said.

As such the pilot was apprehended not nor identified by park officials. Bartlett said an investigation into the matter is ongoing.

Earlier this summer park officials recovered a drone that had crashed near a marina in Yellowstone Lake Bartlett said.

Other national parks have reported also recent disturbances caused by drones. In April visitors to Grand canyon national park in Arizona complained to park officials that a noisy drone flying overhead ruined their evening sunset.

Earlier in April drone handlers in Zion national park in Utah were caught harassing a herd of bighorn sheep with a robotic flyer.

These and other events prompted the National park service to issue a formal ban on drones in June.

The order which went into affect on June 20 cites noise harassment of wildlife and visitor safety as a few of the reasons for prohibiting these flying robots over federally administered lands and waters.

Unfortunately Bartlett said that drones aren't the only items that find their way into the hot springs at Yellowstone.

The Wilkie's most recent Op-Ed was Build a Better Drone for Wildlife Conservation.

Satellites are therefore no match for high-altitude drones, which can circle and provide continuous video footage of the same location.

But using drones to monitor events across the globe requires operators to gain permission to access countries airspace

And drones may not be located near a site of interest when, for example, a natural disaster hits.

They mate in mid-air at about 20 feet above the ground with seven to 15 drones.

Researchers at Harvard are working on a partial solution--tiny drones the size of bees (not to be confused with drone bees the mostly useless males of a bee colony.

The drones are designed flying robots to be small enough to pollinate a flower (they weigh just 80 milligrams.
