This new map sensor is very efficient for large-scale drone mapping, covering 1,140 acres in a single flight. The sensor was able to capture a 670 acre golf course in 37 minutes at 400 feet with the MAP61 sensor. The sensor also speeds up processing time by requiring fewer images to cover large areas. While this sensor is advanced and an efficient method for mapping large areas, the main issue is accessibility/affordability.

MAP61 requires fewer images to cover large areas, which means projects can be completed in a single day instead of two. This will save scientists a lot of time!

Wow, looking at this after we have began to look at mapping software lets me look at it in a new way.

I totally understand your concern about the risks, especially with the potential for hacking.

wow that drone in the cover image is huge! It's crazy how much they are using drones in this war, and how many individuals are getting hurt from them. Scary to think its the future of warfare, but it's happening right now.

It's harrowing that last month had the largest number of drone strikes ever and that this is likely the direction that drones used for warfare will follow.

This was surprise to me too that drones were being used for birdwatching. Also glad that they are recognizing some drones do give birds a negative response in using them and its recommended to use a slower drone that is not shaped as a predator.

A cool way of getting a birds eye view of the landscape to help make decisions on managing the land. Like for agriculture the drones can be used to monitor the health of crops.

This seems like it would be a particularly informative conference to attend, and the wide variety of industries really shows how multipurpose drones have become. Registration also appears to be free for trade visitors, which makes the conference more accessible to a wider range of people.

This is a good case of the dangers that unmoderated drones posses, but its also an issue, how can we control/stay aware of unmanned drones without taking away civil liberties?

Incidents like this one reinforce the importance of regulating drones over open-air events. If the drone had proper propellor guards, then injuries would have been less likely. I am curious if the drone flying over the crowd had the proper licensing to do so.

This is very unfortunate. I hope people realize how important drone safety is and stick to the regulations that are set in place.

Although this is also a novel application of drones in today's world I do not think this is a good thing. It's reminiscent of a police state in a dystopian story which is not the direction we should be heading.

Just as how we are learning to use our drones with an educational purpose, there are those that will always want to do things with malicious intent. There are already strict rules in place, hopefully there are faster methods to find the illegal use of drones in the near future to avoid situations similar to this.

That's nice, it's always nice to see how drones can help reduce air pollution by being a better alternative for research.

Drones should be utilized more in disaster prevention over disaster relief. Ideally, more would be put into stopping climate change by all governments, but drones could definitely help in gathering data and identifying vulnerable areas. Preventions are better than cures, and I'm always happy to see drones used in anything other than war.

LiFePO4 chemistry offers a significantly lower risk of thermal runaway and does not require cobalt for production, but has a lower energy density than traditional Li-Ion cells and is already succeeding in home scale energy storage systems. If we start seeing regulations pushing for safety features in grid scale Li-Ion batteries that increase weight or decrease capacity LiFePO4 would seem like an even better choice than it already is.

This article states how important it is for drone entrepreneurs to follow regulations and keep up with new technology. Ignoring these factors can lead to fines and falling behind in a fast changing market.
