Remotely Piloted Systems

This is a media curation page for the PIRatE Lab's AARR Program.  We are developing practical, low cost programs to monitor resources in our coastal zone (the land near the ocean and the ocean near the land) with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs aka "drones") overhead and subtidal Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) .  Enjoy!!

Recycled glass could help fend off coastal erosion

Recycled glass could help fend off coastal erosion | Remotely Piloted Systems | Scoop.it
From www.sciencenews.org - September 12, 11:00 AM
Sand made from recycled glass can be mixed with sediment to make a medium for plants to grow in. That can help with coastal restoration projects.

William H's comment, September 17, 2:49 PM
I am always excited whenever people introduce new ways to tackle contemporary environmental issues that have evidence to back it up as a solution. I know that glass is not usually recycled nationally and so having a use for them like replenishing coasts would be a revolutionary outcome! Cool find Dustin!
Kailani Franklin's comment, September 18, 1:41 AM
This sounds likes such a great solution. I really hope it will be implemented.
Mikayla Salas's comment, September 19, 6:19 PM

DJI Will Be Banned in the US in 43 Days as the Government Does Nothing

DJI Will Be Banned in the US in 43 Days as the Government Does Nothing | Remotely Piloted Systems | Scoop.it

DJI is facing an outright ban in the United States if an audit mandated by the National Defense Authorization Act doesn't take place.
William H's insight:
Very interesting and concerning that the U.S. government seemed to almost purposefully do nothing and condense the audit to just a few weeks, weakening the chance for DJI to survive. It raises a few questions...

The country's Defence Minister Theo Francken said it looked like an espionage operation, but he wanted to be "cautious" about speculating.
William H's insight:
When looking for an article, this topic continued to come up equally between all news sources, despite partisan bias. It is rather concerning how much drones can be used to spy on other countries.

William H's comment, November 4, 5:05 PM
Interesting law! I feel it makes sense. It is not allowing anyone to disable drones, but it allows authorities to do it if deemed necessary. Given by what has been going on recently in National Parks where frequent drone flights are going unchallenged would allow authorities to prevent such disruptive behavior from occuring.

Scare Tactics: UM Researchers Use Drones to Promote Human-Wildlife Coexistence | University of Montana

Scare Tactics: UM Researchers Use Drones to Promote Human-Wildlife Coexistence | University of Montana | Remotely Piloted Systems | Scoop.it
From www.umt.edu - September 23, 12:26 PM
UM researchers are experimenting with using an automated drone to haze wildlife away from high-traffic areas on campus.
William H's insight:
"Hazing – the use of nonlethal methods to dissuade animals from areas of high human activity – has long been a tool of wildlife managers. What is new, however, is the deployment of drones as the means for maintaining this harmony between people and animals."

I was unfamiliar of hazing as a means of preventing wildlife-human conflicts and I think it is ingenious to use drones for this means.

I guess I did not consider the fact that just because there is a government shutdown does not mean people stop going to the parks. That is insane that the frequency jumped from one drone sighting a week to five every day. I also think it is rather sketch that DJI used possibly illegally gained footage. Very questionable behavior.

Kailani Franklin's comment, October 29, 7:59 PM
This will probably have negative effects on the children. Tree canopy is needed to help regulate temperature. A combination of extreme heat, lack of trees to regulate temperature, and a lack of shade will increase the risk of heat exhaustion/hyperthermia.

Dr. Eugenie Clark would be proud and excited for this use of technology!!

Sharks are one of my favorite animals! It’s cool how this article shows how drones are helping people see sharks differently. The footage really shows how chill they are instead of how movies portray them. It’s crazy that how close they are to beaches and most people don’t know. I like how drones allow researchers can study them without disturbing them!
