Modern Drones Could Mimic 300-Million-Year-Old Dragonflies Written by AZoRoboticsApr 28 2021 Scientists from the University of South Australia drew inspiration from a 300-million-year-old flying machine—the dragonfly—to illustrate why future flapping-wing drones will perhaps look like the insect in wings, shape, and gearing.

Prototype of a dragonfly-inspired drone University of South Australia researchers have drawn inspiration from a 300-million-year-old superior flying machine – the dragonfly – to show why future flapping wing drones will probably resemble the insect in shape, wings and gearing. A team of PhD students led by UniSA Professor of Sensor Systems, Javaan Chahl, spent part of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown designing and testing key parts of a dragonfly-inspired drone that might match the insect’s extraordinary skills in hovering, cruising and aerobatics. The UniSA students worked remotely on the pr...

New technique to monitor soil moisture developed March 17th, 2021 Researchers at The University of South Australia have developed a cost-effective new technique to monitor soil moisture using a standard digital camera and machine learning technology. The United Nations predicts that by 2050 many areas of the planet may not have enough fresh water to meet the demands of agriculture if we continue our current patterns of use. One solution to this global dilemma is the development of more efficient irrigation, central to which is precision monitoring of soil moisture, allowing sensors to guide �...
