Book excerpt: With races taking place in empty car parks, warehouses and old factories, drone racing is a rapidly growing underground sport. But it's also gone above ground with international championships beckoning from Los Angeles to Dubai, offering by huge prizes. Twelve-year-old Carson Lox thinks he has the potential to be a champion . except his drone is not powerful enough, and he can't afford anything better. Desperate to make their mark, Trix (Tracy to her friends, and the team's engineer) and Beagle (or Edward as he hates being called, the team manager) help Carson break into an old Air Force scrapyard to salvage spare parts. They find the remains of a hi-tech drone that needs patching up and use it to enter the league. But there is something unusual about their new drone - it has a mind of its own. The team soon discovers that it has Artificial Intelligence, with a snappy personality way beyond Siri or Alexa, and it's more than eager to help them win the upcoming league championship. With a taste of victory, Team Carson suddenly find themselves on the International Drone Racing circuit. With huge prize money at stake and venues in exotic locations to race, life seems almost too good. And it is. Now that they've seen the drone in action, the military wants the drone back for their own purposes, and they will stop at nothing to get it. How will a few kids - Carson and his friends - be able to protect their drone?
Download or read book The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities written by Kathrin Maurer and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive overview of how civilian drones sense the world and how they build the aesthetic imaginaries of our communities. Drone technology has garnered critical attention across many fields, from engineering to the humanities. While the first wave of drone scholarship was key in initiating the debate on drones, it also privileged the idea of the “scopic regime”—a militarized regime of hypervisuality—in its analyses of the connection between vision and power. The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities broadens the drone’s spectrum of perception by acknowledging its creative, life-affirming possibility with the notion of the sensorium. The sensorium of the drone is a multimedia, synesthetic sensing assemblage in which the human agent is enmeshed with the drone. Drone sensoria can sense in many more ways than the scopic regime—with sound, touch, smell, temperature, and movement. In The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities, Kathrin Maurer shows how drone sensoria can change our understanding of human communities by constructing imaginaries of social communities based on decentralized and fluid sensing processes. Maurer takes an aesthetic approach to technology, working with two understandings of aesthetics. One understanding refers to aesthetics as a way of experiencing, and it explores how the drone-human assemblage perceives the world. The other refers to aesthetic mimetic representation, and focuses on how aesthetic drone imaginaries in literature, popular culture, visual arts, and films negotiate the sensorial technology of the drone. Bringing together key ideas in technology studies, studies of aerial views, visual and aesthetic studies, posthuman sensing, machine–human interaction, and communities, The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities sheds a welcome and necessary light on this technology’s creative potential as well as its dangers and risks.

Download or read book Drone Futures written by Paul Cureton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drone Futures explores new paradigms in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in landscape and urban design. UAS or drones can be deployed with direct application to the built environment; this book explores the myriad of contemporary and future possibilities of the design medium, its aesthetic, mapping agency, AI, mobility and contribution to smart cities. Drones present innovative possibilities, operating in a ‘hover space’ between human scales of landscape observation and light aircraft providing a unique resolution of space. This book shows how UAS can be utilised to provide new perspectives on spatial layout, landscape and urban conditions, data capture for construction monitoring and simulation of design proposals. Author Paul Cureton examines both the philosophical use of these tools and practical steps for implementation by designers. Illustrated in full colour throughout, Drone Futures discusses UAS and their connectivity to other design technologies and processes, including mapping and photogrammetry, AR/VR, drone AI and drones for construction and fabrication, new mobilities, smart cities and city information models (CIMs). It is specifically geared towards professionals seeking to understand UAS applications and future development and students seeking an understanding of the role of drones and airspace in the built environment and its powerful geographic imaginary. With international contributions, multidisciplinary sources and case studies, Drone Futures examines new powers of flight for visualising, interpreting and presenting landscapes and urban spaces of tomorrow.
