Tian commented on Max Bruner's blog post Sub-$300 quadrotor kit released on Kickstarter"It is quite amazing how quickly this went onto the market from the day you made that first post. At the current rate, you guys will be funded within another day or two. The controller is quite an interesting design. Very few people are going into…"
Tian commented on Jamie Ahmed's blog post Let's talk about Inertial Dead Reckoning!"If I remember correctly, the drift problem is already solved (but not completely eliminated). UPenn uses inertial measurements to do indoor mapping with a Kinect.
I think this should work, assuming that you can get accurate X, Y, and Z measurements…"
Tian commented on Andreas M. Antonopoulos's blog post Interior Mapping Quad, like in the drones from the movie Prometheus"i saw a small demonstration of it just yesterday at upenn. I will try to post some pictures i took of their lab when i get onto a computer"
Tian commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Arduino projects for RC cars"Wow, this sounds pretty advanced. It is like traction control and stability management for RC cars. Real cars started having traction control as standard equipment only in the reason years, and only the higher end cars (especially ones by Germany…"
Tian commented on Gareth Rens's blog post Worlds smallest One-man Helicopter"I've seen this quite a while back. This is really awesome. It's like a jet pack without extremely flamable fuel strapped onto your back. Instead, there is a high speed rotor on top of you.
Worst that can happen is that it stalls mid air…"
Tian commented on Muthanna A. Attyah's blog post Researchers use GPS spoofing to 'hack' into a flying drone"In reality, the hacking will be way much more complicated due to encryption and etc.

Nate Miller commented on Tian's blog post Drones vulnerable to terrorist hijacking, researchers say"May be an interesting read for those of you interested in terrain mapping.

How does the inertial guidance system know the GPS is wrong? What if the GPS is working fine and the inertial is wrong? How can you tell the difference?

Tian commented on Max Levine's blog post Now we know why NASA projects are so expensive :)"wow this was mind blowing. who would've thought that it will take so much to land a mars rover"
Gerry Lichter commented on Tian's blog post Drones vulnerable to terrorist hijacking, researchers say"Inertial heading reference usually requires magnetometer & GPS to compensate for yaw angle drift. Perhaps a combined attack where the spoofed GPS was used in combination with magnetic interference to give a false magnetic north to slowly lead…"
Mathew krawczun commented on Tian's blog post Drones vulnerable to terrorist hijacking, researchers say"I don't get what you're saying Tom because it doesn't matter if the GPS thinks it's working fine the inertial guidance system will know it's not and the uav will stop believing what the GPS says.

Tom Yochum commented on Tian's blog post Drones vulnerable to terrorist hijacking, researchers say"Spoofing is difficult to do, but given a few years I am sure there will be some tools out there for those that want to be mischievous.
In order to work well the spoofer needs to know the location of the target. Then they need to introduce false…"
Mathew krawczun commented on Tian's blog post Drones vulnerable to terrorist hijacking, researchers say"in ten years the drones will be smarter then us.
but honestly this won't be very hard to overcome because this will only work on drones that use gps only. add in an inertial guidance system and a map matching program to double check…"
Tian commented on Tian's blog post Drones vulnerable to terrorist hijacking, researchers say"It is quite true that this is to bring up fear in the audience (especially since it is from fox news), but we can't help but imagine that this becomes very easily achievable in 5-10 years.If you think about it, over 10 years ago, not very many…"
John Wiseman commented on Tian's blog post Drones vulnerable to terrorist hijacking, researchers say"It's possible we've already seen the first fatality resulting from GPS jamming (the Scheibel engineer in South Korea), and jamming should be even easier than spoofing.
And spoofing isn't very hard! Here's a report from a…"

Drones vulnerable to terrorist hijacking, researchers say
Posted on June 25, 2012 at 8:30am 11 Comments 2 Likes
“Spoofing a GPS receiver on a UAV is just another way of hijacking a plane,” Humphreys told Fox News.
In other words, with the right equipment, anyone can take control of a GPS-guided drone and make it do anything they want it to.
“Spoofing” is a relatively new concern in the world of GPS navigation. Until now, the main problem…
