#UnitedAirlines had a wheel dropping off today. I am not sure what kind of exceptional flying skills it takes to land such a plane but am sure it's time the high-nosed Aircraft Authorities like FAA and DGCA thought of mandatory "Air Mechanics" who can fly and attempt to fix such in-flight glitches. #Drones and #robotics can also be used to minimize risk to these "air mechanics". I wonder why they don't think of such basic essentials. All they do is ban #UAVs and everything else that can make lives better until someone goes and pleads with a cause which they initially reject but then emulate without giving credit to those who proposed that use cases in the first place. Outcome? the next ten use cases are not proposed. It's like some of my clients who like to discuss, grab ideas, cancel consultations assuming that the cat is out of the bag. Then come back when the cat is strangulated by a bunch of others. Ongoing relationship is important because what the initial thought entailed and it's long term execution and expansion is something that only the person proposing it would know.

ROLL STABILIZATION - The next piece in the puzzle to autonomous flight. D i s c l a i m e r : No airships were hurt in the making of this video. 😉 In principle an airship is a stable pendulum, so any roll disturbance will likely be attenuated without further ado. However, when steady shots are required for detailed inspections of infrastructure then an active attenuation of any undesired roll oscillation might save the day. Usually camera gimbals do a pretty good job at keeping the camera stable ... until the undesired movements of the aerial vehicle become bigger than what the gimbal can compensate for. This is why stabilizing a drone in all six degrees of freedom is a good point to start from. For multicopters that's standard but have you ever seen an airship do this?

U.S. authorities' new mandate requires carmakers to install automatic emergency braking systems (AEB) on new vehicles. Recent tests have raised concerns about the effectiveness of AEB systems in detecting pedestrians. While AEB plays a vital role in collision avoidance, its limitations in pedestrian detection call for a closer look at alternative solutions, such as #LiDAR technology. Here at SiLC we point to LiDAR as a highly reliable solution with its ability to operate in various lighting conditions, including darkness. In fact, our extended range capability allows for the detection of pedestrians from distances of over 1 kilometer away, providing drivers with crucial reaction time. Additionally, our LiDAR's real-time velocity precision and angular resolution equip drivers with the necessary data to make informed decisions and enhance road safety. Let's consider LiDAR technology as a viable option for addressing pedestrian safety concerns and work toward a safer future on the road.

Change is constant. The emerging impact of autonomous maritime systems on the future of Defense.

On 20th May the Automated Vehicles Act 2024 received royal assent - a landmark piece of legislation that aims to enable self-driving vehicles to operate on UK roads as early as 2026. In this article I outline the key features of the act. Please feel free to read, like and share !

Autonomous Runway Incursion Warning System (ARIWS) is a safety technology designed to prevent runway incursions at airports. Runway incursions occur when an aircraft, vehicle, or person enters a runway without authorization, which can lead to potentially dangerous situations, including collisions. ARIWS typically utilizes a combination of sensors, such as radar, lidar, and cameras, along with sophisticated software algorithms to monitor the movement of aircraft, vehicles, and personnel on and around airport runways. The system can detect potential conflicts or unauthorized entries onto active runways and provide real-time warnings to pilots, air traffic controllers, and other airport personnel. 📞 +91-7428897782 | +91-7428897780 #aviation #aviationlovers #avgeeks #aviators #plane #airline #fly #sky #france #montpellier #pilot #pilotview #piloteyes #piloteyes737 #crewlife #pilotlife #cockpit #cockpitview #landing #cockpitlanding #clouds #boeing #boeinglovers #boeing737 #transavia #transaviafrance #airfrance #airfrancecrew
