The tech is scary. Being able to network each drone means you could have a basic onboard system, while the computation power is elsewhere, and you can reduce the size of the unit to very small, yet have very many units to perform many tasks at once. This would mean you could have a group of drones scouting the area for targets, another group defending the main group from being detained and a third group engaging the targets found by the scouts. Seeing we already arm and engage military targets, being able to shrink the size means we can put more of them into the area and take out a military unit of soldiers, or just target the command personnel while leaving the lower ranks alive to surrender. The possibilities are endless...
i mean each drone could just "sting" people with chemicals either for capturing or k1lling them. You would not be able to out run them and there are so many. they could send these in and take out anyone on foot.
@@foreignwarren7361 good luck shooting down 100 of these things before one of them tags you. They are insanely fast and small making for a difficult target.

I had an idea similar to the drive shown earlier in the video, the one with 4 wheels with props inside. My idea was to use a common stator and an inner and outer rotor, one to spin the wheels, one to spin the props. The wheels could still function as ducts, to increase the efficiency of propellers, and the mass of the tire rings could allow the use of gyroscopic prossesion as a means of controlling yaw, and even for maintaining stability in high winds or during fine maneuvering. Obviously, without actually building one, I can only speculate that this design would be successful, but seeing the design of the drone here got me excited about the concept, again.
Ducted fans aren't really great for drones though. I believe it was xjet who explained why in one of his older whiteboard explanation videos. The tl;dr was that ducts are efficient in the axial direction, but are counterproductive in any other direction. And drones, unlike fixed wing aircraft, generally don't move in the axial direction of the motors.
It's the old double edged sword. It depends on the people using advanced technology, ie, what their intentions are. I love the opening shot of the flying dragon, it's just gorgeous.

My first thoughts are 1) search & rescue when combined with machine learning could both help identify survivors in water and other terrain that humans might miss, AND be better able to stay in 1 place while rescuing even if there are strong storm winds and whatnot 2) the one that goes both through the air and 10 feet deep in the water would be immediately hireable to do underwater boat inspection, that would be a nice side business
1) A set of drones would be perfect for quickly searching a large area... if they can reliably detect a floating human... in a storm.

And absolutely not one driven by AI which might decide that the corpse floating a hundred meters away needs to be saved first. 2) it would be cool if it could transform into a cleaner and just fly from job to job....but a regular drone carrying a regular sub would be a hundred times better at that.

I'm very impressed with the variations that have been made to drones. Thanks. I, particularly, liked the aquatic drone and the clever vtol to horizontal flight.
All the system with lifting rotor turning to horizontal thrust rotor have a fundamental flaw. In the vtol mode it needs more than 1:1 thrust to weight ratio in more or less 0 speed. And in cruise flight it is like 1/20 thrust to weight with substantial speed. You can have optimal performance only in one of the modes. Up to the point where carrying a separate motor for horizontal flight actually does improve efficiency. Especially if you somehow manage to hide the quad motors and props from the airflow in horizontal mode.

I think they are making excellent progress. I think it is a great idea for drones to be able to spread their wings and land in difficult locations. I am wondering if these can be used for tracking wildlife, search and rescue, inspections, delivery, and possibly assembly.
You are forgetting their true intended purpose, they will keep testing new versions till they perfect the 'human tracking and elimination drone'. Then the AI machine uprising can begin.
YESS! Great to see someone sane that sees the possibilities to help rather than the stupid doomsday comments about "Terminator blah blah..." So many drones have already been used for searching places that are hard or impossible/dangerous for humans to survey etc.
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 this could be said for a lot of technology, but the way the world works, we all know where this is going. it only takes 1 bad actor (any nation that wants to expand) for there to be billions spent on using this tech to conquer others. it inevitably develops into an arms race. it's a shame we're so eager to kill/dominate our fellow man.
Wow, at 0:07 it generates lots of ideas as drones fly through a dense forest. They could be used to search for missing persons, or map the distribution of plants and animals. And it's not just forests-these drones could also be deployed on city streets to measure street waste. This is awesome! (two years later...............)
its 2023 the same year as black ops 2 and i would say the drone technology is almost directly on par with the game. 100% we have the capability to make the games drones if we wanted
The future of the advancements "Drones" are near limitless. N.A.S.A's space drones are on another level, and there capabilities are wow. As for drones on Earth, there is a major shift in the Military Industrial Complex, as this branch of science has opened up many, many opportunities. The dark science of drone technology is the use of the host in the insect, and animal world. We are talking symbiont relationship, but the host does not have to sign a N.D.A. The complex issues is the experimentation of this technology using humans. Bear in mind some people will do anything to get famous, but there is always a cost. The Dragon Drone, shows us how a swarm of drones can work collectively to create a monster size creature that is by far intimidating. Swarm drones can be very useful in battling against a swarm of locusts, as they can deliver a lethal dose of chemicals to deplete that troublesome swarm. Fitted with an electrical charge they could form a force field to obliterate the locusts. The options are endless. Ideally what would be a win win situation is to stun the locust and collect them to be harvested. Which is far more beneficial to us all.
Undoubtedly very impressive and exciting. Sadly they also represent the death of scale model flying hobby (fixed wing, rotor craft etc). Military and Corporations that develop these drones want the skies clear of pesky hobbyists (and are in full force of doing so via the FAA, remote id ETC) but in doing so they also destroy the future talent pool of people who push the tech further and operate such tech.
theyre gonna have to knock me out of the sky personally. This stuff threatens not only model flying but also ultralights and ultralight free flight such as hang gliders and paragliders. Nothing is gonna keep me out of the air.
@@saleplains Don't worry, they're not going to come after you, you don't sell anything that hurts their bottom line. Plus they can use the likes of you to train their targeting infrastructure without you even noticing. Model flyers will have it much harder. With A.I. that helps with the coding and 3D-printing to provide the fiddly bits there is nothing that stops smart people to copy any cool toys they may see on the internet. As a tech company trying to build a monopoly, of course you cannot allow that...
@funknunkl I don't know where you get your info, but there are plenty of events at sites that hold scale model meetups, and the FAA allows operation of drones and other model aircraft at FRIA sites that don't even require drone ID's. There are several near me, and I live in a big city.
They are scared shitless to put it straight. Ukraine shows everyone how to kill a tank with a cheap quadcopter. Owning a drone is a much larger threat to them than owing a stupid firearm. It opens so many opportunities to anyone.
The field of study is amazing. The advancements are amazing, but with all of this when I see a swarm of aerial robots negotiating a densely wooded area I wonder what is it’s purpose and only hope that it is to save life not take it. It already feels too late to ask what boundaries are we not willing to cross with tech like this. Heavy Payloads can be medicine but payloads can be munitions as well.
@MrArtVein I am surprised RUclips has not banned you. I'm sure they will if comments like that continue. Maybe you need some help and are crying out for it online?
I wonder if drones are another way for humans to create future flying objects as a collective. Like an open source but for planes. Would be interesting to see how magnets can play a role.
The Terminators will control the world at some point. We have unleashed the wrong type of technology with Self awareness AI. They will decide humans are an unneeded parasite on this planet. Maybe.
you think the people irresponsible enough to throw trash on the ground will not interfere with a drone doing its job? Remember we used to have Amazon delivery drones and people were shooting them down?
@@alexdoan273 Hi. I don't know. But, I seriously do think there is a space in the market economy for cleaning robots that pick up litter and trash and painting robots to cover graffiti. It may be that they would need to be corralled and protected by human counter parts while they do the cleaning. But there is endless litter and trash and graffiti in my city that needs to be addressed. I volunteer frequently to pickup litter and have cleaned up thousands of pounds myself. If I had a robot buddy it would be more efficient and effective. They always promote these robots to "help in a disaster" . We are in a disaster already. So, that's why I wrote my idea.
Govt agencies and the MIC must LOVE this stuff! Pretty soon they can assign a 'personal' drone to escort every citizen everywhere at all times. Oh wait, we already have something like that in play, it's called a 'smart phone'.... 😉
Some very cool toys. Payload & endurance are the biggies I think (depending on the role). Very promo-ey, reminds me of SDI demo destroying the missile tube where it became famous for being all-but faked. The formation swarm & obstacle avoidance is impressive - each drone fitted with a one-shot .38 in a relay, working a trenchline would certainly be a morale corrosive. Jetpack medics ran in Brit tv 'news' recently, but that's just silly outside of exceptionally rare circumstances.
A lot of these are made to scam people to invest in their project. Many of these drones have tiny bodies but strong motors and large, costantly moving parts (for example the morphobot at 1:08). As that does not cost energy. Where are the batteries placed in the morphobot? It must be a e-bike battery. This machine will only last for a few minutes.
@@duudsuufd - the formation bamboo-avoiding mini-drones looked impressive, but it later occurred to me that that short clip could've been choreographed too.
I think this was probably a very interesting video for drone, experts, or at very least, people knowledgeable about drone technology and terminology. I would like to see this video done by someone who understands that all of us don’t know all the terminology involved in this technology and explain it in plain English.
Now image if all tech creator thought about this and stopped we would not be here. We will always find a way to stop people abusing them. The good they can be used for outweighs the bad. Planes has been used to save more lives than has been killed minus war usages done by government who should know better
As someone that has moved from the city to the country to position myself against technology, mainly AI. Those swarms that were navigating a bamboo forest scare the hell out of me but I am glad I saw them now. I already know 3 ways I can deal with those bastards.
I came up with a similar design in highschool over 20 years ago but alas I was just a geeky kid with no technical experience. Keeping my fingers crossed for the badass mechs I used to draw being brought to fruition by more qualified people.
I think in about 5 - 10 years with the added AI, we will stop calling them drones or robots and start calling them Droids or in the farther future...Master!
Remember big hero 6? if the parts of a skyscraper were small enough for those tiny drones to carry then you'd just need a fleet of them to build really massive projects without human intervention. We would be able to achive so much more in such a small period of time. We really only have like 400 more years on this planet.
1:10 this is pretty cool it actually reminds me of a design I came up with for an amphibious vehicle that used articulating propellers that were integrated into the wheels. I used to design cars and whatnot for fun but this could probably traverse water also if it was water-proofed.
I can see this being the next gen of Space Exploration as it stops human risk but allows the team of drones to build structures, do research, exploration etc. Companies looking for resources will push this. Sci-Fi concept.
Drones, drones, drones got such a cool name. It's a freaking RC folks with a camera and new innovative tech. Using commercial drones to drop bombs can also be use to drop beyond bombs on civilian population. No amount of laws can stop it and it's up to that motivated Hatfield or paid to kill individual.
Imagine having to run away from something for whatever reason, and being chased through the forest by a swarm of drones that just zips between the trees.
Great, thank you. Was nice to be able to hear the base info so simply without any long winded jargon. I will be waiting for your follow up on the drone. I just ordered a DJI 3 Air, so naturally feel bombed with info and films. I remember seeing the drone that converts to vehicle many years ago. I think their have even been simple toys that roll up walls and change shapes. Military spy gear if you like. I expected more all the same. Having seen the flying dragon this New Year was incredible though, yet as you say, design wise it´s remarkable that their have not been better solutions yet. Powerful batteries are hardy a problem these days. I expect to see multiple shaped parts that you can build together depending on your needs. Like having a base frame and engine for car production.
It'd be funny if the future drones don't kill us but are chasing us with oppressive helpfulness. Go off to do the required chore as fast as possible and then come back for more commands, desperate to be even more helpful next time. When all you want to do is chill out, but they're programmed to be helpful and feel bad when they chill so you feel bad and give them chores just to keep them happy. Like throwing the stick for an overly energetic dog you love but also become annoywed by eventually.
When you said that the future of quiet engines might be piezoelectric engines, I rushed to google it up, but my search bubble limited my search results ))) Maglev rotors also seem intriguing. My personal noob idea is to create a sponge-like engine with tiny pores which could work as millions of ion propulsion engines stacked together. So, the air would simply go through a plane/drone. After my lesson you could get a Nobel Prize :-)
Scale up by 10%, add a manipulator arm, and possibly lengthen the legs slightly so it can lock the wheels and "walk" on rough terrain. And that leaves you with one of the most utilitarian jack-of-all-trades drone designs yet.
Don't think that's very far away at all. LLMs like Llama2 on a chip, with the software currently used in self-driving cars would basically make that possible as far as I can tell.
Drone at the 1:50 mark is in relation to the company I work for. I can confirm the drone being dropped that can last for 16+ hours with a 40+ lb payload is used for reconnaissance and has aided the Coast Guard with stopping drug smugglers with their small boats from entering the US.
"this looks like a typical morphing drone, but it's actually a pretty complex vehicle." You must be really deep into this if "morphing drone" no longer counts as complex
I'm waiting for meltybrain style drones: no part of the drone remains in fixed orientation - the entire drone spins providing lift with its body, and handling of flight direction, camera view etc is achieved in software, e.g. modifying rotor angle of attack over the course of every spin.
I hear that our drones are making a movie of the world. They call it "Drones From Outer Space!" You'll soon be able to watch reruns in full spectroscopic colorization.
I bet this is actually the "next" "screen" at least for public spectacles at first. Drones as pixels or rather voxels. Not like next, next, but at some point in the future, maybe. Micro drones doing a volumetric display in houses.
In my novel I created drones that combine several of these characteristics and are used in combat scenarios. Even with a limited imagination, the potential is horrifyingly clear. There won't be any escaping them in the battlefields of the future. Manpower won't matter if your enemy has millions of drones deployed.
People talking about the drones being scary, while I’m over here thinking that maybe with this new tech we could finally explore much more of the Amazon rain forest
Often thought how a gripper with a laminated inductor, similar to that used in an Amp Meter clamp could allow a drone to "land" hanging on a power line. It could recharge while remaining on station for extended periods of surveillance. I dubbed the concept the vampire bat, for obvious reasons.
I imagine swarms being able to move ever greater distances at night, then settling to ground to recharge from sunlight. Repeating this as long as it takes to attack distant targets. At the destination point, perhaps the batteries could be a last time a brought together to explode in a destructive way.
The hulk's biggest secret is he pee's himself every time he transforms, thus, preventing his pants from being ripped due to having been infused with hulk juice
Unfortunately I haven't seen any "smart" drones. The light shows are amazing, but have you seen an intelligent drone? I guess it's not so easy to combine AI with the drones (if this type of AI even exists :) ).

I think they are making excellent progress. I think it is a great idea for drones to be able to spread their wings and land in difficult locations. I am wondering if these can be used for tracking wildlife, search and rescue, inspections, delivery, and possibly assembly.
You are forgetting their true intended purpose, they will keep testing new versions till they perfect the 'human tracking and elimination drone'. Then the AI machine uprising can begin.
YESS! Great to see someone sane that sees the possibilities to help rather than the stupid doomsday comments about "Terminator blah blah..."
So many drones have already been used for searching places that are hard or impossible/dangerous for humans to survey etc.
@@Martian74Skynet approves your idea
like all tech first it will be tested on the battlefield ..then for people
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 this could be said for a lot of technology, but the way the world works, we all know where this is going. it only takes 1 bad actor (any nation that wants to expand) for there to be billions spent on using this tech to conquer others. it inevitably develops into an arms race. it's a shame we're so eager to kill/dominate our fellow man.
Wow, at 0:07 it generates lots of ideas as drones fly through a dense forest. They could be used to search for missing persons, or map the distribution of plants and animals. And it's not just forests-these drones could also be deployed on city streets to measure street waste. This is awesome! (two years later...............)
Awesome reporting on updated drone news! New subscriber.
its 2023 the same year as black ops 2 and i would say the drone technology is almost directly on par with the game. 100% we have the capability to make the games drones if we wanted
4:45 reminds me of something Da Vinci would design. I'm sure he would be absolutely blown away by the tech we have today. It's wild honestly.
Yup, it's quite elegant. A fusion of old school and new age design.
Just wait what great things these new drones will do in wars.
I want a two "wheel" four blade version of the thumbnail vehicle I can ride, like a flying Segway.
Jup, that‘s what we all want.
Yes, I have seen that episode of Black Mirror, and I read sci-fi stories stories about this 40 years ago.
Looking forward to the up scaling of the claw drone so it can snatch up people at will.
LOL, yeah, North Korea would be first user, then the CIA shortly thereafter
@@ChevySS1968
Or DARPA will have N. Korea conduct beta tests for CIA
The future of the advancements "Drones" are near limitless.
N.A.S.A's space drones are on another level, and there capabilities are wow. As for drones on Earth, there is a major shift in the Military Industrial Complex, as this branch of science has opened up many, many opportunities. The dark science of drone technology is the use of the host in the insect, and animal world. We are talking symbiont relationship, but the host does not have to sign a N.D.A.
The complex issues is the experimentation of this technology using humans. Bear in mind some people will do anything to get famous, but there is always a cost. The Dragon Drone, shows us how a swarm of drones can work collectively to create a monster size creature that is by far intimidating. Swarm drones can be very useful in battling against a swarm of locusts, as they can deliver a lethal dose of chemicals to deplete that troublesome swarm. Fitted with an electrical charge they could form a force field to obliterate the locusts. The options are endless.
Ideally what would be a win win situation is to stun the locust and collect them to be harvested. Which is far more beneficial to us all.
Undoubtedly very impressive and exciting. Sadly they also represent the death of scale model flying hobby (fixed wing, rotor craft etc). Military and Corporations that develop these drones want the skies clear of pesky hobbyists (and are in full force of doing so via the FAA, remote id ETC) but in doing so they also destroy the future talent pool of people who push the tech further and operate such tech.
theyre gonna have to knock me out of the sky personally. This stuff threatens not only model flying but also ultralights and ultralight free flight such as hang gliders and paragliders. Nothing is gonna keep me out of the air.
@@saleplains Don't worry, they're not going to come after you, you don't sell anything that hurts their bottom line. Plus they can use the likes of you to train their targeting infrastructure without you even noticing. Model flyers will have it much harder. With A.I. that helps with the coding and 3D-printing to provide the fiddly bits there is nothing that stops smart people to copy any cool toys they may see on the internet. As a tech company trying to build a monopoly, of course you cannot allow that...
@funknunkl I don't know where you get your info, but there are plenty of events at sites that hold scale model meetups, and the FAA allows operation of drones and other model aircraft at FRIA sites that don't even require drone ID's. There are several near me, and I live in a big city.
But airplanes were once a hobby for the Wright Brothers.
They are scared shitless to put it straight. Ukraine shows everyone how to kill a tank with a cheap quadcopter. Owning a drone is a much larger threat to them than owing a stupid firearm. It opens so many opportunities to anyone.
The static flight revolution is fascinating. Making the drone form factor and technology more suitable for moving in any direction is a game changer.
Skynet has been putting in WORK!
I thought this would be gimmicky and dumb, but you just blew my mind with the coordinated midair actions!!! Holy shit.
The field of study is amazing. The advancements are amazing, but with all of this when I see a swarm of aerial robots negotiating a densely wooded area I wonder what is it’s purpose and only hope that it is to save life not take it. It already feels too late to ask what boundaries are we not willing to cross with tech like this. Heavy Payloads can be medicine but payloads can be munitions as well.
This. That shot make me feel like hunting humans
@MrArtVein I am surprised RUclips has not banned you. I'm sure they will if comments like that continue. Maybe you need some help and are crying out for it online?
Cant wait for real life doctor robotnic
I wonder if drones are another way for humans to create future flying objects as a collective. Like an open source but for planes. Would be interesting to see how magnets can play a role.
Magnets are in every electric engine
dude, the wheels turning into the blades is fkn sick asf. shiiiieeeettt
Hi-tech drones, evolving AI... nothing could possibly go wrong!
The Terminators will control the world at some point. We have unleashed the wrong type of technology with Self awareness AI. They will decide humans are an unneeded parasite on this planet. Maybe.
Imagine that dragon with all those drones armed with bombs and crashing into something in the shape of a Dragon. That would be terrifyingly beautiful.
Can you get them to pick up trash and litter? There is a huge market for cleaning the planet. Hey sientists. Can you get on that? Thank you.
Nobel Prize !!
you think the people irresponsible enough to throw trash on the ground will not interfere with a drone doing its job? Remember we used to have Amazon delivery drones and people were shooting them down?
@@alexdoan273 Hi. I don't know. But, I seriously do think there is a space in the market economy for cleaning robots that pick up litter and trash and painting robots to cover graffiti. It may be that they would need to be corralled and protected by human counter parts while they do the cleaning. But there is endless litter and trash and graffiti in my city that needs to be addressed. I volunteer frequently to pickup litter and have cleaned up thousands of pounds myself. If I had a robot buddy it would be more efficient and effective. They always promote these robots to "help in a disaster" . We are in a disaster already. So, that's why I wrote my idea.
The biggest problem is that drones are super noisy
Govt agencies and the MIC must LOVE this stuff! Pretty soon they can assign a 'personal' drone to escort every citizen everywhere at all times. Oh wait, we already have something like that in play, it's called a 'smart phone'.... 😉
Some very cool toys. Payload & endurance are the biggies I think (depending on the role). Very promo-ey, reminds me of SDI demo destroying the missile tube where it became famous for being all-but faked. The formation swarm & obstacle avoidance is impressive - each drone fitted with a one-shot .38 in a relay, working a trenchline would certainly be a morale corrosive. Jetpack medics ran in Brit tv 'news' recently, but that's just silly outside of exceptionally rare circumstances.
A lot of these are made to scam people to invest in their project. Many of these drones have tiny bodies but strong motors and large, costantly moving parts (for example the morphobot at 1:08). As that does not cost energy. Where are the batteries placed in the morphobot? It must be a e-bike battery. This machine will only last for a few minutes.
@@duudsuufd - the formation bamboo-avoiding mini-drones looked impressive, but it later occurred to me that that short clip could've been choreographed too.
I think this was probably a very interesting video for drone, experts, or at very least, people knowledgeable about drone technology and terminology. I would like to see this video done by someone who understands that all of us don’t know all the terminology involved in this technology and explain it in plain English.
Now image if all tech creator thought about this and stopped we would not be here. We will always find a way to stop people abusing them. The good they can be used for outweighs the bad. Planes has been used to save more lives than has been killed minus war usages done by government who should know better
As someone that has moved from the city to the country to position myself against technology, mainly AI. Those swarms that were navigating a bamboo forest scare the hell out of me but I am glad I saw them now. I already know 3 ways I can deal with those bastards.
I came up with a similar design in highschool over 20 years ago but alas I was just a geeky kid with no technical experience. Keeping my fingers crossed for the badass mechs I used to draw being brought to fruition by more qualified people.
The more this technology advances, the more we, as a society are screwed!
It's already too late
2:58 this is something that i will love to see in comercial aircrafts!
We are _so_ screwed
I feel bad for y’all
Crazy advances in the technology. Thanks for bringing me up to speed!
I think in about 5 - 10 years with the added AI, we will stop calling them drones or robots and start calling them Droids or in the farther future...Master!
Remember big hero 6? if the parts of a skyscraper were small enough for those tiny drones to carry then you'd just need a fleet of them to build really massive projects without human intervention. We would be able to achive so much more in such a small period of time. We really only have like 400 more years on this planet.
1:10 this is pretty cool it actually reminds me of a design I came up with for an amphibious vehicle that used articulating propellers that were integrated into the wheels. I used to design cars and whatnot for fun but this could probably traverse water also if it was water-proofed.
I can see this being the next gen of Space Exploration as it stops human risk but allows the team of drones to build structures, do research, exploration etc. Companies looking for resources will push this. Sci-Fi concept.
Drones, drones, drones got such a cool name. It's a freaking RC folks with a camera and new innovative tech. Using commercial drones to drop bombs can also be use to drop beyond bombs on civilian population. No amount of laws can stop it and it's up to that motivated Hatfield or paid to kill individual.
Imagine having to run away from something for whatever reason, and being chased through the forest by a swarm of drones that just zips between the trees.
Great, thank you. Was nice to be able to hear the base info so simply without any long winded jargon.
I will be waiting for your follow up on the drone. I just ordered a DJI 3 Air, so naturally feel bombed with info
and films. I remember seeing the drone that converts to vehicle many years ago. I think their have even been simple toys
that roll up walls and change shapes. Military spy gear if you like.
I expected more all the same. Having seen the flying dragon this New Year was incredible though, yet as you say, design wise
it´s remarkable that their have not been better solutions yet.
Powerful batteries are hardy a problem these days. I expect to see multiple shaped parts that you can build together depending
on your needs. Like having a base frame and engine for car production.
This is why I love FPV drones. Can’t fly for longer than 5 minutes maximum, and the VTX burns out when you leave the drone going slow for a while.
It'd be funny if the future drones don't kill us but are chasing us with oppressive helpfulness. Go off to do the required chore as fast as possible and then come back for more commands, desperate to be even more helpful next time. When all you want to do is chill out, but they're programmed to be helpful and feel bad when they chill so you feel bad and give them chores just to keep them happy. Like throwing the stick for an overly energetic dog you love but also become annoywed by eventually.
Drones and mechs? We're getting closer to armored core and I'm here for it.
Need this for Ocean Search and Rescue
I thought of this years ago. However I’m glad that it’s been actually created. Looks dope
WOW THIS GUY WILL BE IN THE MILITARY FOR SURE!!😂😂❤❤
Neuro-sama would be proud
Imagine being chased by a Morpho, thats just nightmare fuel 😂
When you said that the future of quiet engines might be piezoelectric engines, I rushed to google it up, but my search bubble limited my search results ))) Maglev rotors also seem intriguing. My personal noob idea is to create a sponge-like engine with tiny pores which could work as millions of ion propulsion engines stacked together. So, the air would simply go through a plane/drone. After my lesson you could get a Nobel Prize :-)
2 weapons scare me.
Nukes and drone swarms.
AI drone. Ah sure what could possibly go wrong
3:15 This looks incredible!
“this looks like your typical morphine drone” 😮
Scale up by 10%, add a manipulator arm, and possibly lengthen the legs slightly so it can lock the wheels and "walk" on rough terrain. And that leaves you with one of the most utilitarian jack-of-all-trades drone designs yet.
These will be terrifying when they become autonomous.
As long as we never allow these companies to develop mini nuclear power cells to keep them running indefinitely, we're good.
Don't think that's very far away at all. LLMs like Llama2 on a chip, with the software currently used in self-driving cars would basically make that possible as far as I can tell.
Drone at the 1:50 mark is in relation to the company I work for. I can confirm the drone being dropped that can last for 16+ hours with a 40+ lb payload is used for reconnaissance and has aided the Coast Guard with stopping drug smugglers with their small boats from entering the US.
"this looks like a typical morphing drone, but it's actually a pretty complex vehicle." You must be really deep into this if "morphing drone" no longer counts as complex
I'm waiting for meltybrain style drones: no part of the drone remains in fixed orientation - the entire drone spins providing lift with its body, and handling of flight direction, camera view etc is achieved in software, e.g. modifying rotor angle of attack over the course of every spin.
I just hope AI likes to keep humans as pets 🤗
I hear that our drones are making a movie of the world. They call it "Drones From Outer Space!" You'll soon be able to watch reruns in full spectroscopic colorization.
SkyNet loves this!
I bet this is actually the "next" "screen" at least for public spectacles at first. Drones as pixels or rather voxels. Not like next, next, but at some point in the future, maybe. Micro drones doing a volumetric display in houses.
In my novel I created drones that combine several of these characteristics and are used in combat scenarios.
Even with a limited imagination, the potential is horrifyingly clear. There won't be any escaping them in the battlefields of the future. Manpower won't matter if your enemy has millions of drones deployed.
People talking about the drones being scary, while I’m over here thinking that maybe with this new tech we could finally explore much more of the Amazon rain forest
Often thought how a gripper with a laminated inductor, similar to that used in an Amp Meter clamp could allow a drone to "land" hanging on a power line.
It could recharge while remaining on station for extended periods of surveillance.
I dubbed the concept the vampire bat, for obvious reasons.
The future of drones looks its at a critical phase. Really exciting
1:32 not going to lie I thought the person was about to take off while standing on the Drone. I got very excited! Hahaha
I imagine swarms being able to move ever greater distances at night, then settling to ground to recharge from sunlight. Repeating this as long as it takes to attack distant targets. At the destination point, perhaps the batteries could be a last time a brought together to explode in a destructive way.
It's heartwarming to see the infancy of the HK Drone 🥺
Back then, flying Headcrabs in half-life looks like a drone, maybe it took inspiration from it.
nice magnet toys in the back. doesn't look like they'll spin forever thou
The hulk's biggest secret is he pee's himself every time he transforms, thus, preventing his pants from being ripped due to having been infused with hulk juice
Combine these type of drones with AI and the future starts to become really scary.
Unfortunately I haven't seen any "smart" drones.
The light shows are amazing, but have you seen an intelligent drone?
I guess it's not so easy to combine AI with the drones (if this type of AI even exists :) ).
Drone tech keeps getting better and better, its impressive, truly sci fi stuff.
Awesome video, kudos. But bro drones not only work on batteries there are several other larger drones working on different fuel types.
After reading Robopocalypse years ago, and reflecting on it now - it seems incredibly prophetic.
I see that Skynet is progressing along nicely.
