With the advancements in quadrotor parts and technology over the years, it’s become possible to make just about anything fly if you can strap some high-speed rotors to it. Introducing the first edible ...

A University of Houston engineer has built a new safety monitoring system for the operation of quadrotor drones that can keep ...

A lot of people are hacking Kinect these days. It's not unusual for hackers to spend a couple sleepless nights coding before they can show off projects like this. Patrick Bouffard can attest to losing ...

Not only are quadrotors fun, they're useful for applications like surveillance and are even showing promise in building construction. Here's a practical use we hadn't thought of though - remote ...

You say quadcopter, I say quadrotor, let's just agree that under no circumstances is it quadrocopter. Whatever they're called, here's another one. It's called Spiri, it's designed to be rather more ...
