Before each of Ingenuity’s test flights, we upload instructions that describe precisely what the flight should look like. But when it comes time to fly, the helicopter…

From Hackaday:
Sometimes bad software is all that is holding good hardware back. [Michael Melchior] wanted to scavenge some motors and propellers for another project, so he bought an inexpensive quadcopter intending to use it for parts. [Michael]…

From Robohub:
For my PhD, I’m studying how global problems such as wildfires and aid delivery in remote areas can benefit from innovative technologies such as UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) swarms.
Every year, vast areas of forests are destroyed due…

I feel like this has been done many times before, including by the Skydio team when they are at MIT, but DARPA was impressed:

"Impressive work! Out of curiosity, why did your team design your own autopilot hardware, given how cheap and available commercial options are?"
From the Intel Realsense blog:
Hundreds of thousands of people experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest every year. In Europe alone, that number is around 275,000. In the USA, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital each…

"Lyn,
Sorry to hear that! I'd suggest you repost this in the ArduPilot forums, where they specialize in log analysis:

Keeping tabs on plant and crop yield is a difficult job, even with the best farm equipment on hand. Some have gone the high-tech route using SBC-powered cameras to track growth and potential diseases. Still, researcher and developer…

The full schedule of the PX4 virtual developer summit has now been posted. I'm going to be speaking on July 7 on PX4 and the FAA's new drone type certification process.
This is the second annual PX4 developer conference and the first one sold out…
