It's nice to see all the different ways killer robots will be able to move in the future, it's gonna be much more impressive than terminator.

I can't wait for the dystopian future where I'm running in the forest trying to escape a swarm of killer drones

"...this one can actually chase you down with ease." said the quiet part out loud there.

Skynet is proud of our work.

I very appreciate that you are reviewing actual prototypes, because they are representative of where the tech is actually going. I rarely watch these 'game changing new technology' videos because they only talk ideas, computer graphics and far reaching fantasies, without any concern to the practical part. Thank you!

Having thousands of cutting edge tech drones used on search and rescue would be save more lives

The tech is scary. Being able to network each drone means you could have a basic onboard system, while the computation power is elsewhere, and you can reduce the size of the unit to very small, yet have very many units to perform many tasks at once. This would mean you could have a group of drones scouting the area for targets, another group defending the main group from being detained and a third group engaging the targets found by the scouts. Seeing we already arm and engage military targets, being able to shrink the size means we can put more of them into the area and take out a military unit of soldiers, or just target the command personnel while leaving the lower ranks alive to surrender. The possibilities are endless...

I had an idea similar to the drive shown earlier in the video, the one with 4 wheels with props inside. My idea was to use a common stator and an inner and outer rotor, one to spin the wheels, one to spin the props. The wheels could still function as ducts, to increase the efficiency of propellers, and the mass of the tire rings could allow the use of gyroscopic prossesion as a means of controlling yaw, and even for maintaining stability in high winds or during fine maneuvering. Obviously, without actually building one, I can only speculate that this design would be successful, but seeing the design of the drone here got me excited about the concept, again.

I'm very impressed with the variations that have been made to drones. Thanks. I, particularly, liked the aquatic drone and the clever vtol to horizontal flight.

It's the old double edged sword. It depends on the people using advanced technology, ie, what their intentions are. I love the opening shot of the flying dragon, it's just gorgeous.

Drone swarms make me worry for obvious reasons. I see the potential for good but there is some really bad things that could be done with one.

Awesome reporting on updated drone news! New subscriber.

Skynet has reached self awareness!

Skynet has been putting in WORK!

Great video, really cool to see how drones are adapting

rotor integrated in the wheeles ^^brilliant

This was amazing and fascinating. I can almost see those drones chasing people through the forest - in a nightmare scenario. All eventually A.I. controlled. Shiver.

4:45 reminds me of something Da Vinci would design. I'm sure he would be absolutely blown away by the tech we have today. It's wild honestly.

Wow 🤯 This is so awesome, thanks for sharing!

Crazy advances in the technology. Thanks for bringing me up to speed!

I want a two "wheel" four blade version of the thumbnail vehicle I can ride, like a flying Segway.

man all we need is rather a massive increase in computing efficiency or a big leap in battery technology. the battery tech is really something i think we need as a species. so much of our technology is based on batteries.

Really great video. Looking forward to another one

Awesome review 😮🎉 loved it. ❤

My first thoughts are 1) search & rescue when combined with machine learning could both help identify survivors in water and other terrain that humans might miss, AND be better able to stay in 1 place while rescuing even if there are strong storm winds and whatnot 2) the one that goes both through the air and 10 feet deep in the water would be immediately hireable to do underwater boat inspection, that would be a nice side business

This fly that's been buzzing about all around my table and chairs this afternoon, sometimes landing on my legs for a quick snack, wasn't as impressed by this video, as I was... thank you.

Worth a look will be looking forward to future Vids

those evolution are mind blowing, some creations will definately bring in revolution in usecases of drones

I LOVE transforming robots! i adore the concept of shifting between forms to different pros and cons, the only thing comparably as cool is having hot swappable option packs. love seeing all the cool and clever gimmicks people can squeeze into a machine

I wonder if drones are another way for humans to create future flying objects as a collective. Like an open source but for planes. Would be interesting to see how magnets can play a role.

Just what we needed!

Very informative video! Thank you. Have you considered using a softer, less harsh on your skin light, on your home studio?

Can you get them to pick up trash and litter? There is a huge market for cleaning the planet. Hey sientists. Can you get on that? Thank you.

Some very cool toys. Payload & endurance are the biggies I think (depending on the role). Very promo-ey, reminds me of SDI demo destroying the missile tube where it became famous for being all-but faked. The formation swarm & obstacle avoidance is impressive - each drone fitted with a one-shot .38 in a relay, working a trenchline would certainly be a morale corrosive. Jetpack medics ran in Brit tv 'news' recently, but that's just silly outside of exceptionally rare circumstances.

1:10 this is pretty cool it actually reminds me of a design I came up with for an amphibious vehicle that used articulating propellers that were integrated into the wheels. I used to design cars and whatnot for fun but this could probably traverse water also if it was water-proofed.

Well done, keep it up, thanks for sharing the video with us :)

Looking forward to the up scaling of the claw drone so it can snatch up people at will.

I think they are making excellent progress. I think it is a great idea for drones to be able to spread their wings and land in difficult locations. I am wondering if these can be used for tracking wildlife, search and rescue, inspections, delivery, and possibly assembly.

Drone tech keeps getting better and better, its impressive, truly sci fi stuff.

Very cool :D love your videos

Hi-tech drones, evolving AI... nothing could possibly go wrong!

The field of study is amazing. The advancements are amazing, but with all of this when I see a swarm of aerial robots negotiating a densely wooded area I wonder what is it’s purpose and only hope that it is to save life not take it. It already feels too late to ask what boundaries are we not willing to cross with tech like this. Heavy Payloads can be medicine but payloads can be munitions as well.

Wow! my jaws just dropped to the floor! I like these kind of videos! 👍

Great, thank you. Was nice to be able to hear the base info so simply without any long winded jargon. I will be waiting for your follow up on the drone. I just ordered a DJI 3 Air, so naturally feel bombed with info and films. I remember seeing the drone that converts to vehicle many years ago. I think their have even been simple toys that roll up walls and change shapes. Military spy gear if you like. I expected more all the same. Having seen the flying dragon this New Year was incredible though, yet as you say, design wise it´s remarkable that their have not been better solutions yet. Powerful batteries are hardy a problem these days. I expect to see multiple shaped parts that you can build together depending on your needs. Like having a base frame and engine for car production.

As someone that has moved from the city to the country to position myself against technology, mainly AI. Those swarms that were navigating a bamboo forest scare the hell out of me but I am glad I saw them now. I already know 3 ways I can deal with those bastards.

Undoubtedly very impressive and exciting. Sadly they also represent the death of scale model flying hobby (fixed wing, rotor craft etc). Military and Corporations that develop these drones want the skies clear of pesky hobbyists (and are in full force of doing so via the FAA, remote id ETC) but in doing so they also destroy the future talent pool of people who push the tech further and operate such tech.

Need this for Ocean Search and Rescue

OMG the over use of the fraise "GAME-CHANGING!" is like totally game changing!

The more this technology advances, the more we, as a society are screwed!

I think in about 5 - 10 years with the added AI, we will stop calling them drones or robots and start calling them Droids or in the farther future...Master!

The static flight revolution is fascinating. Making the drone form factor and technology more suitable for moving in any direction is a game changer.

Great topic, thanks 👍

We are _so_ screwed

I thought of this years ago. However I’m glad that it’s been actually created. Looks dope

Love the info

Cool video man 🍕

Thank you for this LOOK-SEE

At least we know there's no hiding from the robot take over.

Great thought you had.

impressive , thanks for the info

Excellent, Thanks

good compilation.

dude, the wheels turning into the blades is fkn sick asf. shiiiieeeettt

great , thanks for sharing 👍

Genuinely fascinating

Informative and entertaining.

It's heartwarming to see the infancy of the HK Drone 🥺

Id love to see more footage of this griffin

This is a great video

Wow😮 amazing, nice 👌

I feel like we're in this 'ok this stuff works, let's make it good' era ... and i'm all for it

It's absolutely mind-blowing 😮 and inspiring

3:15 This looks incredible! “this looks like your typical morphine drone” 😮

Awesome video, kudos. But bro drones not only work on batteries there are several other larger drones working on different fuel types.

amazing video

👍 really cool, thank you

Thanks!

Thanks, I'm novice about drones but i like your content

Very good !

That is some cool stuff.

Terrific. Just terrific.

Simply awesome innovations, thanks for the video. I am also a regular drone user myself. Of commercial quality & depth of course... 😁

Thi is amazing, absolutely amazing

didnt expect to see a tie fighter here

SkyNet loves this!

I thought this would be gimmicky and dumb, but you just blew my mind with the coordinated midair actions!!! Holy shit.

Wow, at 0:07 it generates lots of ideas as drones fly through a dense forest. They could be used to search for missing persons, or map the distribution of plants and animals. And it's not just forests-these drones could also be deployed on city streets to measure street waste. This is awesome! (two years later...............)

Interesting video. 😎

Thats Badass

I see that Skynet is progressing along nicely.

I think this was probably a very interesting video for drone, experts, or at very least, people knowledgeable about drone technology and terminology. I would like to see this video done by someone who understands that all of us don’t know all the terminology involved in this technology and explain it in plain English.

The future of drones looks its at a critical phase. Really exciting

When you said that the future of quiet engines might be piezoelectric engines, I rushed to google it up, but my search bubble limited my search results ))) Maglev rotors also seem intriguing. My personal noob idea is to create a sponge-like engine with tiny pores which could work as millions of ion propulsion engines stacked together. So, the air would simply go through a plane/drone. After my lesson you could get a Nobel Prize :-)

I see SkyNet is coming along nicely.

holy crap that M4 drone is sick. Gimme one from the future thats scaled up!

After reading Robopocalypse years ago, and reflecting on it now - it seems incredibly prophetic.

That kind of drone show would sell like hotcakes at events and concerts think of a light show in huge floating smoke at superbowls and shows. They would buy real fast and it would sell more tickets if advertised coming to Super Bowl and the TV halftime show and performance and dance is always good with art. Some big drones could provide a shade net and floating falling smoke for the light show.

that X-P4 is pretty cool

Amazing and terrifying in equal measure.

I'm waiting for meltybrain style drones: no part of the drone remains in fixed orientation - the entire drone spins providing lift with its body, and handling of flight direction, camera view etc is achieved in software, e.g. modifying rotor angle of attack over the course of every spin.
