Radio Configuration
Drones use Radio Frequency (RF) transmitters (TX) and receivers (RX) to send the information used to control the drone. Inside the radio, transmitters encode the digital data from the movements of sticks and switches into an electric current, which gets sent through wires to the radio’s antenna. There, the electric currents generate electromagnetic radiation, or radio waves. Waves with different amplitudes (heights) or frequencies (durations) carry different messages. (FM and AM radio stations stand for Frequency Modulation and Amplitude Modulation, respectively.) The radio wave moves through the air at 186,000 miles per second, is picked up by the drone’s receiver and undergoes the same magic in reverse — radio waves turn into electric currents, which are then interpreted by the drone as adjustments to

RX Configuration
Bind RubiQ to the radio and check that she is interpreting the radio commands correctly.
The Taranis, RubiQ’s radio transmitter, uses the same commands as the game controller for the flight simulator.
To turn on the radio transmitter, slide the power switch up. If the throttle is up when the radio is turned on, a Throttle Warning will trigger — this ensures that the drone can’t immediately take off as soon as the battery’s connected. Move the throttle all the way down to turn off the Throttle Warning.
To bind the Taranis to RubiQ and verify its channel mapping, follow steps 1 and 2 in the RubiQ Configuration Guide.
Mode Configuration
Program RubiQ’s flight controller to respond to the switch movements on the Taranis by adding code to the CLI tab in INAV.
In addition to the two joysticks, the Taranis has an array of switches that control RubiQ’s other functions, such as her flight mode or safety features. Unlike the main flight commands, which come pre-configured, the other functions need to be manually programmed in

Drones and UAVs are remote control vehicles that need no pilot, instead they use a signal coming from a machine that someone is controlling. Although that is not always been the case for drones, the technology in its primitive stage was available during the late 1800’s. It was seen during the civil war in the form of hot air balloons and both north and south possessed a way to create the machines. They contained a timed mechanism that would release an explosive when the time was over, this seemed very clever, but at the time it was not very effective. Years passed and the Wright brothers and created the airplane in the early 1900’s, and they did needed pilots. The concept of airplanes was moved to the next level when in the 1930’s Britain Royal Navy created one of the first UAVs. This particular UAV was know as “The Queen Bee’’. This particular model was driven by what is said to be a radio signal. Much later Drones became much more complex and that is because years of technological advances were added to old models that were being produced in late 1900’s. Today, ...
Humans will try to make inventions be forced to fly by themselves. Drone is the perfect that can meet the needs.
In Video Games AI will be used to generate reactive behaviors primarily in supporting characters of the game, similar to human-like cognitive abilities. With a help of AI, supporting characters will able to find a route from one end to another following the main player trail, taking consideration the topography, hurdles and possibly war conditions. It can also be used to know if the player is nearby the opponent, various sensing abilities like seeing, hearing, or opponents can cheat by knowing main player’s position, this can be done by querying game engines. All these functions are recently included in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
The radio works because of sound waves being transmitted from one receptor to the next. Electrons moving through a wire create a magnetic field and when a second wire is placed next to the first the electrons are transmitted. The second wire is then able to turn the moving electrons into an electrical current which produces the same sound that created the moving electrons in the first wire (Gugliotta). Italian inventor, Gulielmo Marconi received the British patent for the radio in 1897. In 1901, Marconi discovered that radio wires did not have to be close to each other to work and that radio signals could be transmitted over very large distances. On December 13, 1901 Marconi successfully transmitted a radio wave 2,000 miles across the ocean from Poldhu, England to St. John’s, Newfoundland. U...
As for now, most of the robot soldiers in the field are not fully autonomy. They are controlled by human soldier operators. However, the pressure of wars and the superior advantage of robots which can make decisions on their own will shift the interest in developing autonomous robots. In battle field, the time to decide whether or not to take action is too short that it would be impractical that a robot must send a signal to an operator and wait for the permission to fire (Ronald Arkin)...
Radio-wave technology is one of the most important technologies used by man. It has forever changed the United States and the world, and will continue to do so in the future. Radio has been a communications medium, a recreational device, and many other things to us. When British physicist James Clerk Maxwell published his theory of electromagnetic waves in 1873, he probably never could have envisioned the sorts of things that would come of such a principle. His theory mainly had to do with light waves, but fifteen years later, a German physicist named Heinrich Hertz was able to electrically generate MaxwellÕs ÒraysÓ in his lab. The discovery of these amazing properties, the later invention of a working wireless radio, and the resulting technology have been instrumental to AmericaÕs move into the Information Age. The invention of radio is commonly credited to Guglielmo Marconi, who, starting in 1895, developed the first ÒwirelessÓ radio transmitter and receiver. Working at home with no support from his father, but plenty from his mother, Marconi improved upon the experiments and equipment of Hertz and others working on radio transmission. He created a better radio wave detector or cohere and connected it to an early type of antenna. With the help of his brothers and some of the neighborhood boys he was able to send wireless telegraph messages over short distances. By 1899 he had established a wireless communications link between England and France that had the ability to operate under any weather conditions. He had sent trans-Atlantic messages by late 1901, and later won the Nobel prize for physics in 1909. Radio works in a very complicated way, but hereÕs a more simple explanation than youÕll get from most books: Electromagnetic waves of different wavelengths are produced by the transmitter, and modulations within each wavelength are adjusted to carry ÒencodedÓ information. The receiver, tuned to read the frequency the transmitter is sending on, then takes the encoded information (carried within the wave modulations), and translates it back into the sensory input originally transmitted. Many of the men who pioneered radio had designs for it. Marconi saw it as the best communication system and envisioned instant world-wide communication through the air. David Sarnoff ( later the head of RCA and NBC) had a vision of Òa radio receiver in every homeÓ in 1916, although the real potential of radio wasnÕt realized until after World War I.
Several military robotic automation systems already operate at the level where the human is still in charge and responsible for the deployment of lethal force, but not in a directly supervisory manner. The Phalanx system for Aegis-class cruisers in the Navy is designed to be the last line of defense against anti-ship missiles. The gun mount moves with rapid precision. The system takes a low amount of input from the ship, making it capable of functioning despite potential damage to the ship. There are several settings for the Phalanx system, with the final fail safe setting of “casualty” that will defend the ship from air attacks without human selection of targets. The MK 69 encapsulated torpedo (CAPTOR) sea mine system was the U.S. Navy's standard anti-submarine mine during the Cold War, having enough computer power t...

These advanced recliners come with remote controls. Most remotes have an LCD screen which displays the activities of the chair in real-time. Some remotes are rather complex and others are easy to understand.
Another name for drones are Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVS). These are “aircraft either controlled by ‘pilots’ from the ground or increasingly, autonomously following a pre-programmed mission” (Cole 4). Even though there are many unique types of drones, but they usually fall under two main categories: ones that are armed and equipped with missiles and bombs and others that are used for surveillance. In the past couple of years the use of drones has increased dramatically. The reason being because “unlike manned aircraft they can stay aloft for many hours and are flown remotely so there is no danger to the flight crew” (Cole 13). There are drones that can actually fly over more than fifty hours. In countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq, the Predator and U.S Reaper are physically there. Cause of the power of technology th...
Another pro to drones they can see things that people can't see. As in like people flagging for help or people in danger. The average drone can up to an average of 10-15 miles and if you attach a ultra lens to it you could see even further.
