Insect Drone with Camera Flies Like a Bee

Insect Drone with Camera Flies Like a Bee Insect Drone with Camera Flies Like a Bee Insect Drone with Camera Flies Like a BeeEngineers at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have created miniature drones that fly and flit just like insects. When you watch one of their drones, called DelFly, in action, it will flutter over a green patch of grass, beating its transparent wings so fast its hard to tell how many it has exactly. It hovers over the grass, darts back and forth, and then shoots upwards making an impressive 360-degree flip, worthy of an aerobatics show.The drone flies like a bee, and some researchers hope that such flying robots could one day replicate some of the important agricultural work that bees do.DelFly Nimble held by its main developer, Matej Karasek. reputation TU DelftBut when G.C.H.E. (Guido) de Croon began working on what would become DelFly, he wasnt thinking about building a mechanical pollinator. Instead, de Croon and his team at the Micro Air Ve hicles Laboratory at Delft were interested in creating a small flapping wing drone capable of carrying a camera.Editors Pick Air Taxi Aces Test FlightThe first DelFly, built in 2008 by 11 students as a capstone project, was insect-like, but on a scale of the giant dragonflies from the Carbonaceous era. Made from ultra-lightweight materialsthin sheets of Mylar stretched over a carbon fiber frameit weighed 21 grams (slightly less than an AA battery) and had a wingspan of 50 cm.DelFly Nimble in stationary (hovering) flight. Image Henri Werij, TU Delft.Over time, as the Delft team learned more, the drones miniaturized. DelFly II had about half the wingspan and could hover and fly forward and backward, staying airborne for 15 minutes. DelFly Micro shrunk to 3 grams and a 10 cm wingspan. The Guinness Book of Records named it the smallest camera-equipped aircraft in the world.Thats still enormous as bees go. A worker honeybee weighs about 130 milligrams and has a wingspan of less than 1 cm .Listen to ASME TechCast to Find Out How a High School Senior Helped a Wounded MarineAs the drones lost mass, they added capability. The 2013 DelFly Explorer gained autonomous navigation, thanks to a stereovision camera and hardware for processing obstacle detectionno mean feat for a ordnungsprinzip that could only weigh a few grams. Self-driving cars make complete 3D maps of their environment to feed into their obstacle detection algorithms, but that requires sensors, processors, and memory, even the lightest of which would be too heavy for a gossamer robot to lift.So the team built different vision algorithms, inspired by hunting dragonflies. If you ask a biologist how dragonflies catch flies, the current hypothesis is that they keep it in the same position while making it bigger and bigger as they approach it, de Croon said. So you could make it very complicated and calculate the flys velocity and directionor you can use the same kind of simple intelligence they use. Thats what w e didwe either programmed it into the robot, or tried to make the robot learn it by itself.More Useful Robots The 7 Coolest Rescue Robots Tackle Almost Any DisasterThe drones learned to avoid collisions, but they werent very stable in flight. Even when they flew inside a room, an air-conditioners draft could toss them around. They needed more agility to recover from such gusts. The team realized they had to abandon some of the traditional concepts of flying machines and once again watch how insects work.The result was the DelFly Nimble. Unlike its predecessors, whose flight is controlled similar to conventional airplanes via deflections of specific surfaces on the tail or behind the wings, DelFly Nimble has neither. Instead, it is controlled by insect-inspired motion adjustments of its two pairs of flapping wings.The tails absence makes DelFly Nimble very agile and less vulnerable to wind. That enables it to dart as nimbly as a fly escaping a swatterand then straighten itself out an d return to its original heading.If you try to swat a fly, it will make a super sharp turn like a fighter jet, and then it will quickly turn its body into the flight direction again, de Croon explained. Whats really interesting, he added, is that the fly doesnt do it consciously. It does so passively, essentially relying on the aerodynamic forces specific to its flapping wings.Even more surprisingly, so does the robot, even though it hasnt been programmed to do it.The robot also corrects for the flight direction error, but we know for sure that we didnt put this into the control code, de Croon said. Its a new effect and we think it applies to all flapping wings.The Delft engineers have various practical applications in mind. For example, when perfected, the bots could flit around greenhouses spotting plant diseases with their cameras.More on Agriculture Innovation 5 Ways How Digital Farm Technology Is Transforming AgricultureThe robots could also be fitted with apparatuses to perfor m an even more vital and insect-like taskpollinating crops. That sounds like something out of the Black Mirror television series, but the idea of building robotic pollinators predates that. A mysterious plague called colony collapse disorder has decimated entire beehives worldwide during the past 20 years. Scientists pondered many possible causes of bees plight, including pesticides, habitat loss, poor diet due to the limited variety of agricultural crops, parasites called Varroa destructor mites, and other pestsor a combination of these factors.No matter the cause, science provided no clear remedy for the little creatures that helped our crops bear harvests for millennia. In America, bees pollinate about 80 percent of flowering plants and about 75 percent of the nuts, fruits, and vegetables humans eat, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Other countries are similarly dependent on healthy bees to assist in food production.While scientists rush to pin down the cause of c olony collapse disorder and race to find a cure, engineers have wondered whether we might one day supplement real bees with mechanical ones. Bringing DelFy to greenhouses will take more time and work. Commercial pollinating will also require many such bots operating in an organized fashion, something no group has yet perfected.

The ABCs of Personal Branding, According to a PR Expert

The ABCs of Personal Branding, According to a PR ExpertThe ABCs of Personal Branding, According to a PR Expert In the digital world we live in, the concept of personal branding has never been more important.Think about the products you buy every day and why you buy them. For me, I buy Nike shoes, Lululemon clothes and just recently bought a Boss suit (a little splurge, but worth it). I am willing to pay more for these products because I view them as trustworthy and reliable thanks to their branding as well as my personal experience with the product. Its also why I prefer Starbucks coffee even though its more expensive than making coffee at home. But the experience is consistent, and the coffee has never let me down.At Mercury Marine , ur brand is, among others, reliability. When you put a Mercury engine on yur boat, you can always count on that engine to perform and help you create amazing experiences with friends and family.So why dont we view ourselves through the same lens as we do our favorite brands? People buy what we are selling every day. At some point in our lives, we are going to apply for something. Whether its a job, internship or home loan, you will put yourself in front of someone and must convince them to give you something you want. In this instance, you are the brand. Companies are marketing themselves every day to consumers as a personal brand, you should be doing the same.A quote I once heard that I absolutely love should be plastered on your wall at work. If you arent branding yourself, you can bet someone else is and you probably wont like what they have to say.People are willing to invest in YOU if your brand is strong. Personally, I work every day to make sure my brand remains strong you could say it keeps me up at night. Im a firm believer that when I wake up every morning, I have to prove myself all over again, its what keeps the focus on my brand. A personal brand is the spawn of how you see yourself and how othe rs view you, its a meeting in the middle. Its in how you dress, how you talk, how you compose yourself. Its about your resume, your experience anddrum rollyour social media. All of that together defines who you are.Here are my A, B, Cs of personal brandingAppealing We buy brands that are appealing. As a personal brand, someone will invest in you if you are an appealing brand.Believable Is what you are selling believable? When Nike or Mercury Marine is marketing, do I believe in their message? When Im marketing myself, are people believing what Im selling?Consistent Its the Starbucks example. As a personal brand, when people interact with me, their experience must be consistent. Im not treating our security team any different than our CEO.Distinctive This is the single most important trait in developing a personal brand. What makes you stand out from the rest? Ill dig deeper into this one in a minute.Evolving Your brand must constantly evolve. What you did as a freshman in h igh school isnt applicable as a professional. Find ways to evolve your brand.Think about your brand as your health. If you exercise, youll be healthy if you sit around all day, your body and mind will suffer. Its the same with your brand. If you exercise your brand, itll continue to evolve and define who you are. If you dont spend any time on it, someone else will.Now back to why being distinctive is so important. We live in a world where everything looks the same, sounds the same and feels the same a Sea of Sameness. When you graduate, you walk across the stage and get a diploma. Your diploma looks the same as mine. As an employer, for every job we have open, we receive hundreds of resumes, LinkedIn profiles, etc. More times than not, they all look the same. Your brand needs to stand out above the rest. Graduating top of your class from Harvard is impressive, but its not going to guarantee you the job.Here are four things you can do to help define your personal brandOur world moves at the speed of light and we live in a what have you done for me lately world. Theres no real-time anymore its NOW-TIME. Creating and defining your personal brand is extremely important in fact, its a must. Like anything, it takes time and hard work. But if you do it right, you will create a lasting memory of yourself when you leave the room. So, ask yourself, what are people saying about you when you leave the room? And, are you OK with what they are saying? That will help you determine whether your brand is strong or needs some work.dem wind abgewandte seite Gordon is the Director of Global Public Relations and Communications for Mercury Marine , a division of Brunswick Corporation .

How to Succeed When Youre Taking Over Someone Elses Role

How to Succeed When Youre Taking Over Someone Elses RoleHow to Succeed When Youre Taking Over Someone Elses RoleYouve just landed a new job or a promotion. Score You eagerly accept, ready to tackle your new responsibilities- only to find that while you (and your manager) are thrilled about your arrival, your co-workers are less than enthusiastic.Turns out, they liked working with your predecessor just fine. They dont want you- they want their old colleague back. Maybe they feel like you squeezed out the last person in your role, or maybe they just generally resent that their friend is gone and wouldnt like any replacement. But either way, it seems that your golden job opportunity might be at risk of becoming tarnished by office politics. And if you dont find a solution, you may end up hating your job- or even worse, failing at it.So how do you navigate these less-than-hospitable (read hostile) work relationships?Ive been in two situations where my new colleagues were notlage happy wi th my arrival and not afraid to say it And both times, it made me even mora anxious about my new role, but also more determined to succeed. Here are a few ways to approach the situation and win over your new co-workers.Empathize With Your Co-workersNow, I know youre thinking, Theyre being mean to me for no reason, and you want me to sympathize with them? Well, yes, I do. While it is unfair that your co-workers are taking their frustrations out on you, realize that theyre upset, that they may be feeling powerless, and that they want to hold someone responsible. And theyre not going to direct their ire at management for fear it will earn them a pink slip and a spot on the unemployment line. That makes you the easy target.So cut your co-workers a little slack. Of course, this doesnt mean bending over backward to get them to like you- you have a job to do, after all- but understanding where theyre coming from is a good first step.Keep Your Ear to the Ground If youre new to the team or c ompany, youll want to spend time really figuring out the office dynamics and understanding what happened with your predecessor. Of course, this can be a little tricky, since you have to complete this reconnaissance work without engaging in gossip. Its like a U.N. fact-finding mission to uncover two things Your predecessors performance What did she do well (so you can replicate it) and not so well (so you can avoid it)? The extent that co-workers affect your work Who do you need to make happy to make your job easier? Which co-workers can make or break your success?Ask questions and watch your manager and co-workers closely to understand how to be successful. For example, by asking things like, What hasnt worked before, and how do you suggest that we address it going forward? you might find that your manager was unhappy with your predecessors infrequent communication.But recognize that much of what you need to know will not come from formal communications- it will come from comments t hat you overhear in passing and watching how others interact. For example, from a co-workers off-the-cuff remark, you may discover an unwritten office rule to never challenge management decisions in public, something for which your predecessor was notorious. Knowing this can help you build an effective relationship with your manager by using more subtle ways to deliver feedback and ideas.Over-Communicate With the TeamWhen people are mean to us, we generally run in the opposite direction. We hunker down and try to work harder, hoping to earn the respect of our colleagues before coming back out of our shell.In this case, though, keeping to yourself can make the situation worse- hey, they were friends with the last guy, remember? So go out of your way to communicate consistently with your new co-workers. Let them know what you are working on, share your progress, and when appropriate, ask for their help. This will go a long way in building relationships with your new co-workers.If they dont immediately reciprocate, dont let that deter you or cause you be defensive. Keep your approach casual and breezy. At least early on, pretend like you dont even notice their chilly treatment- it wont serve you to challenge it.Include Your Predecessor (in Spirit)When its appropriate, dont be afraid to talk about your predecessor and what he or she did well. For example, Ive been working on the quarterly update. Tim did an excellent job on reporting, so I have record of whats been done in the past, but I do have a question about one section. Could you help? While (lets be real), your outreach may be met with snarky comments and eye rolls, it also may help your co-workers feel like youre on their team.And either way, through these interactions, youll be able to separate the ringleaders of the We hate the new girl campaign from those that are open to the possibility that you arent really that bad.Proceed With Caution As the dust begins to settle on the storm that your arrival broug ht, youll hopefully begin to make some friends. Some of your colleagues might bring you into their circle by inviting you to lunch or stopping by your desk to chat. You may even start to feel like youre part of the office in-crowd.Thats great- but do not use this as an opportunity to let your guard down. No matter what, avoid gossiping with your co-workers or with your manager, particularly when it comes to your predecessor. Yes, it can be really hard to remove yourself from water cooler conversation, but if you dont, you could risk your reputation and credibility. Not to mention all the relationship-building youve done so farUnfortunately, a hostile environment or unpleasant co-workers can derail your success in a new job. So, though theyre the ones being unprofessional, its in your best interest to take control of the situation. Try not to take their behavior personally and expect that your interactions will improve over time. And in the meantime, succeed in your new role by learn ing as much as you can about the office culture and proactively communicating, sharing information, and building relationships with your colleagues.Photo of woman working courtesy of Shutterstock.

8 Things to Keep in Mind When It#8217;s Time to Quit Your Job

8 Things to Keep in Mind When It8217s Time to Quit Your Job 8 Things to Keep in Mind When It8217s Time to Quit Your Job Welcome to Recruiter QA, where we pose employment-related questions to the experts and share their answers Have a question youd like to ask? Leave it in the comments, and you might just see it in the next installment of Recruiter QATodays Question Sometimes, in order to advance in your career, youll need to quit a job in favor of a new one. Just because its necessary doesnt make it any less anxiety-inducing How can people quit their jobs with as little stress as possible and without burning any bridges or harming their careers?1. Tell Your Boss FirstKeep your resignation to yourself until after youve made it official. Nothing burns bridges faster than elend adhering to protocol. While you may be overjoyed about your next opportunity and want to share it with your favorite coworkers, you do not want to risk it getting back to your boss or team and catching them of f guard. Be patient and follow protocol. - Angelina Darrisaw, C-Suite Coach 2. Be Professional and RespectfulDont say anything negative. Thank your boss for the opportunity to work for the organization and for what they have taught you. Leave on good terms and dont burn any bridges. You will likely need them as a reference down the road. You may want to keep the boss as part of your network.- Stacy Pursell, The Pursell Group 3. Maintain Your Professionalism Outside of the Office, TooProfessionalism extends to your discussions with others and your social media sites. Do not badmouth the company and its management staff. Doing this simply makes you look like a disgruntled employee. It can be a small world out there. You never know where your next job opportunity may come from in the future. Professionally speaking, its a wise move to keep your motives and reasons for quitting to yourself. - Heather Rothbauer-Wanish, Feather Communications 4. You Dont Need to Justify Your DecisionJu st rip the Band-Aid off. Dont beat around the bush or try to find the perfect thing to say. Dont try to over-explain or give unnecessary details. Simply express that you are giving your notice and offer a brief reason why (new job, moving, launching your own business, etc.). Be respectful, thank them for the experience, and stay positive and confident. Dont feel compelled to overshare. Part of what causes anxiety is that we feel well have to explain ourselves or justify our decisions. But there is no need. Youve made the decision youve made for the reasons youve made it, and those reasons arent anyone elses business. Everyone will be okay. Focus simply on the fact that youre giving notice, how much time youre giving, and how youll work to make it a smooth transition. Putting the focus on them and the business will help take the pressure off you. Once the Band-Aid is off, everyone will feel better - Rebecca Vertucci, Vertucci Career Academy 5. Preserve the RelationshipOne of the pri nciples of theater improvisation that we use in our work is Its never about the thing. Its always about the relationship. There are lots of reasons people quit new opportunities, hating the boss, changing home or health, pay, not liking the work. There are lots. Whatever the reason for leaving your job, thats not the real topic of conversation with your supervisor when you tell them youre leaving. Thats not whats at stake. Whats at stake is the relationship. Make the conversation about them. Help them feel as good as possible about the move. Dont be fake or untruthful. Do express gratitude. Whatever else may be true about your time there, you had a paycheck and an opportunity to make a contribution. When I left a job because I couldnt stand being demeaned by my boss every day, heres what I truthfully said when I told her I was going Ive decided to move on. We both know neither one of us has been satisfied with the way things are going. I truly appreciate the opportunity to serve you r customers for as long as I have. Theyre great. Ill miss them. Its a great product youre giving them. I know youll keep that up. I wish you the best.Relationship preserved, and I got what I needed out. - Aaron Schmookler, The Yes Works 6. Strike a Power PoseFirst, relax. Life will go on for both of you. Second, before going in to give notice, power pose. Get your confidence biologically boosted by doing the Superman in a bathroom stall for 3-5 minutes. Watch Amy Cuddys TED Talk for more info.- Danny Zoucha, DannyZoucha.com 7. Help the Company Wrap Up Your ProjectsOffer to be available for questions and tying up loose ends even after youve left. This doesnt mean you should volunteer to work extra hours working for a company you no longer work for, but if you can help in small ways and get things wrapped up neatly, your ex-boss will really appreciate the effort. - Geoff Scott, Resume Companion8. Stay Committed to the EndGive your job 100 percent no more, no less. After announcin g your resignation, avoid the temptation to mentally check out. People will notice how you behave when you no longer have any skin in the game, and this often ends up becoming your lasting legacy. Treat your job seriously and stay focused on delivering results all the way until the very last day. - Joseph Liu, Career Consultant and Host of Career Relaunch

If they have children, they want to be able to move their family into a home thats in a nice neighborhood in close proximity to good schools. Many employers and recruiters dont think about how the convenience factor plays into an individuals decision to make a career move.

Dont let people abuse the system, but understand your staff members are also humans who encounter family issues, illness, and car troubles. If someone has a legitimate reason for missing work or sho wing up late, give them a break. When potential new hires see that theyll be working for empathetic people, theyll be more excited to join the team.The ability to grow and develop within the organizationDefined job roles are beneficial because they enable both employees and managers to track individual progress.

However, some companies go too far the other way and get so hung up on the finer points of a job description they block an employees ability to grow and progress within the organization. Instead of allowing an individual to develop and take on new projects, they pigeon hole them into the same position theyve had since their first day on the job.

Make it a point not to stifle employee growth with in the company in order to keep current employees satisfied and help with talent acquistion.
