It shows a swarm of tiny quadrotor UAVs flying in numerous formations, performing figure eights with each other and even flying around obstacles. Talk about sense and avoid! The little drones (monsters?) were developed and programmed by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s General Robotics, [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://defensetech.org/2012/02/01/creepycool-video-tiny-uavs-flying-in-formation/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>90</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>MoH-level Valor Leads to a Robot Hand</title><link>http://defensetech.org/2012/01/27/moh-level-valor-leads-to-a-robot-hand/</link> <comments>http://defensetech.org/2012/01/27/moh-level-valor-leads-to-a-robot-hand/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:50:00 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Ward</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Gadgets and Gear]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Robots]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Defense Biz]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://defensetech.org/?p=16181</guid> <description><![CDATA[I had a chance to sit down with Medal of Honor recipient SFC Leroy Petry a couple of days ago while participating in the AFCEA West 2012 conference in San Diego.  Like all who’ve received the nation’s highest award for valor, his story of courage under fire is amazing.  (Read more about him in Military.com’s [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://defensetech.org/2012/01/27/moh-level-valor-leads-to-a-robot-hand/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>6</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Marines Get First-Ever Combat Resupply by Drone</title><link>http://defensetech.org/2011/12/21/marines-get-first-ever-resupply-by-drone/</link> <comments>http://defensetech.org/2011/12/21/marines-get-first-ever-resupply-by-drone/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:38:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>John Reed</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Afghan Update]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Around the Globe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Drones]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marine Corps]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Planes, Copters, Blimps]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Robots]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rotary Wing]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://defensetech.org/?p=15754</guid> <description><![CDATA[Here’s a major first in the use of UAVs, on Saturday one of Lockheed’s unmanned K-MAX helicopters delivered a sling load of supplies to Marines at a base in Afghanistan. This marks a pretty significant turning point in the development of drone warfare.
