If you like to be in the water and have a bit of an exploratory spirit in you, this summer brings you the extremely fun device Biki, the world's first bionic underwater camera. Let's take a closer look!
AirDog is your personal videographer that flies high but doesn't fall low. It is considered to be the first unmanned aircraft of its kind - drones, although the same title belongs to the Helica Aerospac and the Squadrone System with its Hexo+. But about that another time. The 1.7 kg AirDog defies rain, snow, cold and wind at a speed of up to 40 km/h, reaches a maximum speed of 64 km/h and sees with the help of a GoPro camera (this can be purchased).
Some people "pimp" cars, but YouTube user Olivier C decided to "pimp" his four-propeller drone, which he turned into a replica of the Millennium Falcon spaceship from Star Wars and also equipped it for an even more dramatic look with LEDs. The characteristic music accompanying the flight recording is just the icing on the cake.
At CES 2019, the Bell Nexus, a flying taxi that is expected to take flight next year, landed.
Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles are one of the fastest growing technological innovations, which are already used in many fields. Although we initially associated them with the military, they are increasingly being used for commercial and private purposes, where activity recording dominates, but Australia's Ars Electronica Futurelab has used them to create art. 3D creations, something between fireworks and a 90's screensaver, were created with these Spaxls.
In June 2017, Dubai is getting a new form of transportation. You will now be able to travel around the city with an autonomous drone for people. Dubai will be the first city in the world to offer this form of public transport.
It's actually not a helicopter, but a volocopter! We will return to the definition a little later. The German company Volocopter (E-Volo) will start testing these flying taxis in the skies of Dubai this year. Obviously, Dubai will become the place to test the vehicles of the future.
Unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, as we affectionately call them, are becoming an indispensable tool for people who want to create stunning footage, the kind of which we could only see in movies or documentaries a year or two ago, and behind which there was a camera crew and a ton of logistics. With the Hexo+ drone, which follows us automatically, all this is a thing of the past, because now it is possible to record jumps and similar shenanigans without any help.
Recently, Amazon made its first successful delivery by drone (Prime Air service), and in the near future, it plans to take another zeppelin into the sky, which will be a flying warehouse, with which it wants to speed up the delivery of ordered goods and reduce the energy consumption of drones.
Three years ago, it was necessary to shell out mountains of money and send a loud and rather large unmanned aerial vehicle into the air for high-quality aerial shots with a drone. Today, thanks to Extreme Flyer's Micro Drone 3.0, you can capture the action in 720p quality with one of the world's smallest drones. You can pre-order it on Indiegogo for a calculated 135 euros.
The popularity of drones is not waning. They will soon outnumber insects in the air, so it's understandable that vendors in this increasingly crowded market are using a variety of designs to entice buyers. The Monospinner will definitely get your attention as it is equipped with a single male propeller!
