Swarms of robots could help people fight fires, rescue lost surfers, clean oil spills, and a whole lot more.

Artificial intelligence could power controllers that help drones fly faster and more precisely.

A new kind of high-power fuel cell could be strong enough for unpiloted underwater vehicles, drones, and eventually electric aircraft.

Drones can collect car accident information faster than current methods and with more accuracy, which keeps drivers and law enforcement safer.

"Drones can fly for maybe 10 or 20 minutes before they need to charge again, whereas our bees can collect data for hours."

Rather than use dozens of cameras to capture an actor's motion to turn it into animation, a new method would only need two drones and a laptop.

The modified micro air vehicles, called FlyCroTugs, can also grab and haul loads 40 times their weight. Check out the video to see them in action.
