Octopus inspires underwater drive

Researchers in the US have developed an underwater propulsion system based on the way an octopus moves. The research team at the University of Iowa outfitted the wings of an underwater hydrofoil with a series of coiled spires that...

Event-based AI for driverless cars

Researchers in Germany have developed a system for more effective image detection using event-driven AI. Traditional cameras used by driverless cars capture images frame by frame, which can cause motion blur or loss of important details...

Sense and avoid

The ability to detect and avoid other aircraft is a key requirement for uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). Enhancements to the design of transponders now mean these devices can be as light as 15 g, allowing them to be used in the majority of platforms...
