By David Hambling Airborne surveillance is moving fast. We’ve seen the 66-megapixel Angel Fire and 39-megapixel BuckEye sensors being used in operations, while the even more powerful Gorgon Stare is being flight tested next year. In February we reported on Darpa’s Autonomous Real-time Ground Ubiquito...

By Katie Drummond This isn’t the first time Aurora have created innovative models for unmanned military aircraft. For a Darpa project last year, they dreamed up a three-vehicle air machine that could dock in the stratosphere and stay aloft for five years. They’ve also worked with military researchers on m...

By David Hambling And much smaller. The electromagnet for ITER alone weighs 925 tons, so it’s not likely to be made small enough for a vehicle or any other mobile application, Darpa, on the other hand, cheerily indicates that its project will go on to produce “handheld power sources.”

By Ben Mack Nevertheless, the engineers at VW are confident that in the future they will be able to reach the company's goal of making autonomous vehicles safer and more fun. Last year, Junior managed to finish in second place at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Urban Challenge....

By Noah Shachtman Darpa hopes its "Personal Air Vehicle Technology" project, announced yesterday, will ultimately lead to a working prototype of a military-suitable flying car -- a two-to-four passenger vehicle that can "drive on roads" one minute, and take off like a helicopter the next. The hybrid ma...

By Ray Renteria when stanford university won the darpa grand challenge in ‘05 the team made clear their philosophy that autonomous navigation should be treated as a software problem. while other teams spent their resources on building custom hardware, ...

By arron_shutt the darpa grand challenge uses a hybrid approach of having a map, a series of waypoints and onboard radar/vision systems to operate a vehicle. it's probably a good example of solving the problems faced in the real world. ...
