WhiteFox Secures Remote ID for World's Largest Drone Manufacturer During First-of-Its-Kind International Demonstration of Trusted Drone Traffic Management

WhiteFox, a global leader in drone security, develops capabilities to pioneer the safe integration of drones into society and offers worldwide airspace management solutions. In conjunction with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the Transglobal Secure Collaboration Program (TSCP), the world's largest drone manufacturer DJI used WhiteFox's capability to secure drone and operator identity during the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Drone Enable 3 Symposium.

ICAO is a United Nations specialized agency representing aviation sectors from 193 Member States, and setting standards and recommended practices for civil aviation operations around the world. The demonstration was conducted as part of ICAO’s proceedings.

During the demonstration, DJI drones broadcasted their identity using the new, proposed ASTM standard for drone remote identification, and were cryptographically verified by WhiteFox cloud services, providing an unforgeable link between the drone and operator's identity. The standard supports a variety of receivers, including smartphones, laptops, and dedicated hardware, all using widely deployed technologies, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

UCode youth team takes aim at robotics and affordable housing

After weeks of work, a team of elementary school students will put a wide-range of skills on display this weekend when they take their city shaping, affordable housing and interpersonal skills with hopes of advancing past the first round of the annual First Lego League competition.

The UCode Lego team, which has been meeting for two months at UCode’s Ithaca Mall location and working on the project, includes four students from two local schools. Avital Sagan, Shaan Jena and Eafan Chen all go to Elizabeth Ann Clune Montessori School, while Robert Kong attends Northeast Elementary School. They are coached by David Sagan, a Cornell physicist and senior research associate. The competition is being held this weekend in Corning, with 17 teams competing from around the region. If the UCode team is able to place in the top 40 percent of participants, they move onto the next round of competitors. UCode is a learning program that teaches kids coding and computer programming, among other tech-centric skills.

This New Sneaker Senses Sonic Vibrations Via Bluetooth

In 2015, Susan Paley met musician/inventor Brock Seiler at Montana Studios in New York. Seven years prior, Seiler had discovered a spot on the studio’s floor through which he could feel the bass at its strongest, which inspired him to combine audio technology and footwear for the first time. Paley herself was eager to expand upon the concept of feeling music from the ground up, and quickly gathered a team of engineers to help create her new tech company, DropLabs (Seiler soon stepped away from the company to continue developing new technologies).

Today, Nov. 13, DropLabs is releasing its first product: the EP 01, a sneaker that delivers an immersive audio-sensory experience to its wearers.    

The trademarked DropLabs Technology converts audio via Bluetooth input into vibrations that stimulate nerve receptors in the feet -- and sync up with whatever audio is playing through headphones, from a song to a movie to a video game.    

As with any product launch, Paley -- who has over 20 years of experience in consumer technology, with her most notable position being CEO of Beats by Dre through 2012 -- is anxious to see who the early adopters of this new technology are.

MISTY ROBOTICS SEEKS TO MAKE ITS ROBOT TO BE AS USEFUL AS IPHONE

For the last few years, the robotic revolution has altered the world as more companies or businesses are showing their interest in it. As it’s changing individuals’ lives through voice assistants, smart speakers, and speech recognition, bots have yet to infiltrate today’s daily lives at home. That is likely because no one has explored their astonishing application, the use case which is so compelling that individuals flock to buy a robotic companion. However, a new robot called ‘Misty II’ from Misty Robotics is taking the same approach that assisted to make the iPhone so powerful.

Despite seeking to develop a bot along with work out everything that individuals might need to use it for, Misty Robotics is designing the hardware and after which enlisting independent developers and different companies to create skills or abilities for Misty.

These skills could turn Misty into anything from a security robot that roams individuals’ home, to a podcast reader that talks to a person as he/she goes about their morning routine, to a fall detector that can send family members a picture if an aged person occurs to take a tumble.
