The FAA just greenlit this drone to fly autonomously without a human nearby
It’s not quite as big a deal as you’d expect from the company’s press release or The Wall Street Journal’s headline “FAA Approves First Fully Automated Commercial Drone Flights,” because humans still need to be part of the equation: FAA documents show that American Robotics will still need to assign a human to each and every flight, who’ll run through a safety checklist before takeoff and inspect the aircraft with remote tools. They’re not fully automated yet. … [Read more...] about The FAA just greenlit this drone to fly autonomously without a human nearby
The most exciting upcoming PC games we know the least about
Rainbow Six QuarantineWhat to expect: Expect a cooperative tactical shooter built on the bones of Rainbow Six Siege, set a few years into the future of the universe where the operatives are facing off with a mutated alien parasite. We haven't learned much else except that it's been delayed into 2021. Given the whole pandemic thing, we'd wager whatever's there is going under some changes—to the name at the very least. Whatever's cooking, we're here for it.

Given the viral outbreak connotations, we're guessing the spinoff will share similarities to Siege's temporary 2018 co-op Outbreak mode, which we liked quite a bit. We just haven't seen Quarantine itself in action yet. Wild. … [Read more...] about The most exciting upcoming PC games we know the least about
Clever new A.I. system promises to train your dog while you’re away from home
As to whether they have any plans to commercialize the technology, Jason Stock, co-author on the project, told Digital Trends: “Our approach consists of low-cost hardware and software components that would allow for commercialization of a relatively affordable product. We consider the possibility of developing this further given a greater budget for creating a better-functioning prototype, as well as improving the model and dataset to identify more behaviors — perhaps even those perceived to be negative.” … [Read more...] about Clever new A.I. system promises to train your dog while you’re away from home
