Startup Figures the Best Way to Control Drones is Talking to Them
Connecticut-based Primordial Labs has developed a voice-based interface for small UAVs. A soldier simply speaks into a radio and tells the drone what to do. In partnership with RedCat Holdings, Primordial is incorporating an AI-driven voice control technology called “Anura” into RedCat subsidiary Teal Drones’ Teal 2 reconnaissance UAV. The combination could give users the […]
Russia Tests FPV Drones on Fiber-Optic Cables in Ukraine
The invasion forces of Russia have started using FPV drones controlled via fiber optic wires. This way of signal exchange makes the UAVs completely invulnerable to any electronic warfare systems as they operate without reliance on radio communication. The emergence of these drones came to light through a report by Serhii ‘Flash‘, an expert at […]
