Neruromorphic chip "learns" how to fly

 

From Technology Review:

There isn’t much space between your ears, but what’s in there can do many things that a computer of the same size never could. Your brain is also vastly more energy efficient at interpreting the world visually or understanding speech than any computer system.

That’s why academic and corporate labs have been experimenting with “neuromorphic” chips modeled on features seen in brains. These chips have networks of “neurons” that communicate in spikes of electricity (see “Thinking in Silicon”). They can be significantly more energy-efficient than conventional chips, and some can even automatically reprogram themselves to learn new skills.

Now a neuromorphic chip has been untethered from the lab bench, and tested in a tiny drone aircraft that weighs less than 100 grams.

In the experiment, the prototype chip, with 576 silicon neurons, took in data from the aircraft’s optical, ultrasound, and infrared sensors as it flew between three different rooms.

The first time the drone was flown into each room, the unique pattern of incoming sensor data from the walls, furniture, and other objects caused a pattern of electrical activity in the neurons that the chip had never experienced before. That triggered it to report that it was in a new space, and also caused the ways its neurons connected to one another to change, in a crude mimic of learning in a real brain. Those changes meant that next time the craft entered the same room, it recognized it and signaled as such.

The chip involved is far from ready for practical deployment, but the test offers empirical support for the ideas that have motivated research into neuromorphic chips, says Narayan Srinivasa, who leads HRL’s Center for Neural and Emergent Systems. “This shows it is possible to do learning literally on the fly, while under very strict size, weight, and power constraints,” he says.

The drone, custom built for the test by drone-maker company Aerovironment, based in Monrovia, California, is six inches square, 1.5 inches high, and weighs only 93 grams, including the battery. HRL’s chip made up just 18 grams of the craft’s weight, and used only 50 milliwatts of power. That wouldn’t be nearly enough for a conventional computer to run software that could learn to recognize rooms, says Srinivasa.

The flight test was a challenge set by the Pentagon research agency DARPA as part of a project under which it has funded HRL, IBM, and others to work on neuromorphic chips. One motivation is the hope that neuromorphic chips might make it possible for military drones to make sense of video and sensor data for themselves, instead of always having to beam it down to earth for analysis by computers or humans.

Prototypes made under DARPA’s program—like HRL’s—have delivered promising results, but much work remains before such technology can perform useful work, says Vishal Saxena, an assistant professor working on neuromorphic chips at Boise State University. “The biggest challenge is identifying what the applications will be and developing robust algorithms,” he says.

Researchers also face a chicken-and-egg scenario, with chips being developed without much idea of what algorithms they will run and algorithms being written without a firm idea of what chip designs will become established. At the same time, neuroscientists are still discovering new things about how networks of real brain cells work on information. “There’s a lot of work to be done collectively between circuit and algorithm experts and the neuroscience community,” says Saxena.

3D-printed UAV now sports ducted fan motors

inShare

It may look like a flying manta ray, but this is actually the University of Sheffield's latest UAV

Image Gallery (2 images)

Back in April, we first heard about a 3D-printed UAV airframe that could be fabricated within 24 hours. Created by a Boeing-assisted team at the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Center, it was a gliding prototype that would require the addition of a motor and an external propeller for powered flight. Its recently-announced successor, however, features integrated electric ducted fan motors.

As with its predecessor, the modular components of the new blended-wing UAV were made largely via Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). This is the type of 3D printing in which successive layers of molten plastic are extruded one on top of another, to build up complete objects.

Although the aircraft consists of separate modules that are bolted together, the central body – which houses the fan motors and incorporates "complex internal features" – was printed as a single ABS plastic part. The motors and electronics themselves were added afterwards.

While some other components were made from carbon fiber this time around (it presumably now takes a little longer than 24 hours to build), those parts were still made using 3D-printed molds. As an added economical bonus, those molds were double-sided, allowing one piece of plastic to be used to create two parts. One of those carbon parts is a moveable "duck tail," which facilitates improved pitch control by channeling the air as it comes out of the ducts.

The finished UAV weighs 3.5 kg (7.7 lb), puts out 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) of combined thrust, cruises via remote control at nearly 72 km/h (45 mph), and is launched using a custom-made catapult. It can be seen in flight in the video below.

Plans call for the next version to have a twice-as-wide 3-meter (9.8-ft) wingspan and miniature gas turbine engines. It may also incorporate unique flight control surfaces, and carbon composite batteries that are part of its structure.

3DR Releases the New Aero-M & X-8M Mapping Platforms

3DR’s Aero-M and X8-M are fully automated and intelligent tools: drone mapping platforms for easy, fast and accurate aerial data acquisition that will enable you to take informed and targeted action. They provide a level of insight that’s invaluable to industries like agriculture, construction, mining, and land and resource management, or for gathering data for any area that needs to be looked at closely and often. They allow you to get this data cheaper, easier, quicker, with less risk and more frequency and detail than manned flight or satellite imagery.

Our mapping drones come bundled with a high-resolution Canon SX260 visible-spectrum camera, but the payload system is interchangeable so you can swap your own cameras or sensors for shooting IR, hyperspectral or other imagery. The package also includes Pix4D professional image-processing software, a version developed specifically for the 3DR platform by Pix4D, the leading image post-processing company.

Our three-step workflow is fully automated: Plan, fly, process. Select the area you want to map, and the drone computes the flight path that will cover it. While in flight, onboard software automatically captures all the right photos for you and geo-tags where each one was taken; takeoff and landing are also both automated, with built-in flight protections like Return-to-Land. Finally, our custom Pix4D post-processing software stitches these photos into a crisp, high-resolution map, down to an amazing one cm/pixel, depending on the height of your flight. Zoom in from the sky down to the grape.

Additionally, you can save and repeat any flight with as much frequency as you need, and you can compare and overlay that data across time.

Imagine the advancements you might make if you could get accurate and immediately actionable information about your land as frequently as you want. You’ll see more, see better, and save money, and once you see your operations from the air you’ll never approach work the same way again. There are two options for included Pix4D software, designed specifically for 3DR mapping platforms. Capabilities include creating 2D maps in the Standard version, and the Pro version can also create index maps (e.g., NDVI) in a single workflow, perfect for crop stress differentiation. In addition, you can “fly through your map” in a software-generated 3D movie, complete with waypoints. And we’ve made all of this available at a price up to five times less than that of our nearest competitor, which will revolutionize the commercial UAV industry.

Image processing for our mapping platforms is powered by Pix4D, the leading provider for professional UAV processing software. The Pix4Dmapper software included in your package is a complete and fully automatic mapping and modeling solution that can convert and join thousands of images into highly accurate geo-referenced 2D mosaics. The software can also generate fly-through animations from original images in asingle workflow. The software is suited to beginners as well as professional photogrammetrists: Create the project and get results with one click.

A Pix4Dmapper Pro upgrade is also available for 3DR mapping platform customers. With Pix4Dmapper Pro 3DR Edition users are enabled to exploit full 3D capabilities as well as agriculture specific tools. The Pro version can generate point clouds, digital surface and terrain models, create vector objects (polylines, surfaces, stockpiles) and create index maps (e.g. NDVI).

Scout X4-X8, in arrivo dalla Walkera un nuovo quadricottero pronto al volo

Scout X4-X8, in arrivo dalla Walkera un nuovo quadricottero pronto al volo

Un video pubblicato su youtube mostra il nuovo quadricottero della Walkera Scout X4. Si tratta di un vero e proprio drone basato su autopilota APM ( Arducopter ) da cui eredita tutte le funzioni di volo automatiche, dal volo assistito dal GPS alla navigazione autonoma su percorso a waypoint tracciato su mappa su groundstation tablet, smartphone e PC.

GPS ESTERNO E MOTORI DA 500 KV

Essendo un'anticipazione le informazioni tecniche sono ancora scarse, tuttavia si può notare come l'antenna del GPS sia installata esternamente a distanza sufficiente per eliminare le interferenze causate dall'elettronica di bordo e pertanto per migliorare la ricezione del segnale satellitare. Si possono notare anche i motori da 500Kv, gli stessi del Tali H500. Un basso numero di giri che fa intuire l'adozione di una LiPo a 6S a beneficio dell'autonomia di volo.

CARRELLO RETRATTILE E CONFIGURAZIONE X8

Non poteva mancare il carrello rettrattile, anche questo molto probabilmente di provenienza Tali H500, e un importante feature: è possibile aggiungere altri 4 motori e trasformare lo Scout in X8, un ottoccottero coassiale, che consente non solo una certa ridondanza - sicurezza in caso si rompa un motore / elica ma anche una maggiore capacità di carico. 

UNA MOSSA PER ANTICIPARE IL DJI PHANTOM 3 ?

Lo Scout della Walkera è un evoluzione del quadricottero X350 PRO, per la versatilità data dalla doppia configurazione X4-X8, per il carrello retrattile, per i motori a basso Kv e per la possibilità di installare eliche di dimensioni maggiori perfino rispetto all'esacottero TALI-H500. Un quadricottero pronto al volo, lo Scout, che potrebbe fare concorrenza al futuro DJI Phantom 3

Volare è molto più facile che volare precedenti elicotteri telecomando o aerei, in parte grazie all'intelligenza del drone. Se un utente lascia andare i controlli, ad esempio, il Vision utilizza un dispositivo GPS a posizionarsi. Questo dispositivo GPS aiuterà anche a stabilizzare il velivolo da forze esterne, come forti raffiche di vento. E il dispositivo può essere programmato per spostarsi punti specifici nell'aria nel tempo.

E 'facile immaginare come la Vision Plus potrebbe essere messo nelle mani di persone che vogliono documentare sport o altri eventi, o anche coloro che potrebbero desiderare di fotografare gli esterni degli edifici.

La fotocamera non registra l'audio, ma la maggior parte dei suoni esterni verrebbe soffocata dal sibilo forte dei puntelli e dei loro motori elettrici in ogni caso. E poi, quelli che prendono i video a un matrimonio - uno dei tanti nuovi usi popolari per i droni - probabilmente si desidera impostare loro di "Electric Boogie" in ogni caso.

Il Mini Hook  :

Il primo prodotto sviluppato da GLLD, è un gancio da carico progettato per trasportare carichi fino a 8kg in un drone, e di essere in grado di farli cadere in qualsiasi momento.

Il Mini Hook è un gancio di dimensioni ridotte che può essere gestito manualmente o elettricamente.

Bloccaggio meccanico del gancio permette il carico in uscita utilizzando solo un mini servomotore.

sua apertura e chiusura sono amplificati da un innovativo sistema di repulsione magnetica, per il quale è stata depositata la domanda di brevetto.

Esso è montato su una sospensione cardanica, utilizzato per filtrare il carico oscillazioni rispetto al bordone e garantire il rilascio sistematico del carico indipendentemente l'azimut.

Dotare tutti i droni:

Grazie al suo peso ridotto e l'ingombro, questo gancio possono essere montati su tutti i tipi di droni, che li rende più versatile e capace di altre missioni diverse da quelle per le quali sono attualmente utilizzati.

Queste missioni sono molte e varie, che vanno da striscioni volanti o pubblicità materiali, alla consegna delle attrezzature (soccorso, umanitari, merci, operazioni speciali, ecc) e la linea di traino.

Un vasto pubblico:

Il Mini Hook si rivolge a tutti gli operatori di droni civili (mercato internazionale) e lo sviluppo di nuove attività potrebbe vedere la luce del giorno grazie all'utilizzo di questo hook.

anche nella linea di vista sono piani per le consegne di drone, come discusso da diversi grandi nomi del mondo del commercio elettronico.

Il prodotto si rivolge anche agli appassionati, offrendo loro una nuova dimensione di volo.

Il Mini Hook è impostato per essere disponibile alla fine dell'anno a un prezzo di partenza di vendita al dettaglio di 199 € (IVA incl.).

Attualmente GLLD è alla ricerca di partner o investitori per lanciare il gancio Mini nella produzione di serie.

Un'operazione di crowdfunding attraverso una piattaforma on-line è prevista per questo autunno.

Ulteriori dettagli molto presto.

Excellent project from the University of Lueven, using Pixhawk in a VTOL design:

Meet VertiKUL, a student-designed prototype at the cutting edge of delivery drone technology

Unmanned aircraft may one day be used to deliver packages to your back patio, important documents to your lawyer or even vital organs to hospital for transplantation. Although the legal framework for ‘delivery drones’ is not yet in place, the technology – as three students of engineering science at KU Leuven show – nearly is.

Master’s students Cyriel Notteboom, Menno Hochstenbach and Maarten Verbandt were given an unusual assignment for their master’s thesis: build a fully functioning drone. A year of intensive work later, VertiKUL made its maiden flight. The unmanned aircraft can pick up a package and deliver it to a destination up to 30 kilometres away.





While VertiKUL is not the first delivery drone around, it does include some notable improvements compared to its older competitors.

“The first drones were designed like small helicopters. This allowed for exceptional precision but limited range and speed due to high energy needs,” says master’s student of engineering science and project member Cyriel Notteboom. “In our prototype, we combined the high speed of an airplane with the take-off and landing capacities of a helicopter.”

The drone’s four propellers provide the necessary carrying capacity during take-off and landing. To transition from vertical to horizontal motion, the drone rotates its nose 90° forward. In-air stability is ensured by the propellers, which adjust independently as needed. The wings increase energy efficiency during forward propulsion. The limited number of moving parts makes for a robust and dependable design.

The drone sets out for its destination with a charged battery and a 1-kilo package. With the help of GPS coordinates, its flies to its drop-off point – as far as 30 kilometres away. Once it has arrived at its location, it makes a careful precision landing.

Maarten: “We designed the landing system so that the drone can land very carefully and precisely. All of this happens automatically on a round landing platform. The platform is lit with LEDs to allow for nighttime landings.”

So how long before the university delivers diplomas using VertiKUL? Advisor and doctoral researcher Bart Theys: “It’s hard to say because there is still work to be done. For instance, we still need to teach the drone to adapt to changing weather conditions. In testing, we noticed that a strong wind can really play tricks on us. An automated landing in high winds is no easy task. That is the next challenge.”

“At present, delivery drones are not allowed for commercial use. Companies like Amazon are of course very interested in the technology, but there is currently no legal framework for the use of airspace. A good deal of legislation will have to be in place before your pizza can automatically delivered to your back patio. At the moment, we are focusing on the technical challenges. Thanks to the efforts of Cyriel, Menno and Maarten, we have made real progress on that front. They should be proud to call themselves Masters of Engineering.”
