Inmarsat's study has found that investment in the IoT is set to surpass cloud computing and various other digital transformation technologies.The IoT can barely be thought about as a "rising technology" anymore. Between 2017 and 2020, IoT financial investments represent approximately 7 percent of an organization's IT budget. Over the next three years, organizations predict...
Insects’ remarkable acrobatic traits help them navigate the aerial world, with all of its wind gusts, obstacles, and general uncertainty. Such traits are also hard to build into flying robots — but MIT Assistant Professor Kevin Yufeng Chen has built a system that approaches insects’ agility.

Fish are thought to adjust their tail stiffness in order to swim efficiently over a wide range of speeds, but how and when they tune the amount of stiffness has been a mystery. A model created by University of Virginia School of Engineering researchers that combines robotics, fluid dynamics and biomechanics has revealed the...
If you keep up with independent drone auto racing, you likely think about the accidents as much as the victories. In drone racing, groups compete to see which drone is better to fly fastest through an obstacle course. However, the faster flight increases its instability, and also at high speeds, the rules of aerodynamics...
