About Me:
I am a weather enthusiast and RC enthusiast. I also work in emergency services and am interested in using UAVs for post disaster surveillance and search and rescue operations.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

"It would be interesting to see application scenarios for inspection and search and rescue."
"Nikola...good point! If machine learning is being used, give it another layer of information to parse data, and the system will be more effective. This is some very interesting research. I sent you an email, from emergentechrdi@gmail.com

"I wonder if you could pair this with a genetic algorithm to come up with some evolved aircraft."
"For years now, on this site and others, I have been expressing my belief in micro UAS. The technology being packed into smaller, and smaller (and cheaper) packages is astounding. The one area where there seems to be room for significant improvement…"
"It was like watching a jet lining up to land on a carrier."
"Combine two through five, and, as I imagine, we will have small bird, and even insect sized aircraft capable of powering themselves through bio sources, working together to provide the capabilities of a larger system in a smaller collaborative…"
"Joe Renteria...same tought goes through my head. I mean...you hang a pair of fake testicles from your truck because your truck alone is not manly enough? Is that the logic? Way off topic, of course. Now, on a quadcopter, I can se how they might be…"
"Interesting. I have ideas, but never worked with 3D printing or design for 3D printing. Have done some CAD work in the past. May have to do some learning."
"I have thought, what if you have the, "raw data," as in video an IMU data saved for export and later post-processing. It could be stabilized and either distributed as 360 video, or edited down to normal, "2d," video with the the person directing the…"
"You had me at powerslide...You had me. At. Powerslide."
"I have been giving this some more thought, and I think there is a real potential for systems able to bounce around obstacles. One of my interests is search and rescue applications, but in particular the usage of smaller systems in wooded areas,…"
"Nature has engineered some very unique unmanned aerial systems. Self-guiding, self-fueling, self-manufacturing nano aircraft. It shows what is possible when you have billions of years to trial and error."
"Does anyone have the original, and can attest to build quality? It looks kind of cheap plastic toy, to me, but the rest of the specs seem pretty good. I may have to give it a try. Maybe put the guts on something else."
"I had considered piezoelectric before. Small, low energy, fast. What about something like DLP chips. Use the nano mirrors in reverse, rather than projecting images, focusing them on a sensor?"
