Drone watchers are talking about a neat idea that has emerged from a prototype by researchers from Australia's University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia. They have worked on a rotor safety system for small UAVs (quadrotors).
A team of researchers at the University of Tokyo has developed a gravity-defying backpack that enables its wearer to jump much higher and farther than normally—similar, perhaps, to a giant leap on the surface of the moon. ...
