Agriculture is considered a prime area of potential growth in the drone industry because of the technology's ability to help survey crops and gather real-time information on farmland. Crop-spraying drones or easy-to-fly devices that are designed to spray pesticides on crops, can also capture high resolution images of whole field for further analysis. Effect of crop-spraying drone usage is massive. Drones can take off and land vertically which means unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sprayer does not need a runway. They are suitable for all kinds of complex terrain, crops and plantations of varying heights.

The global population is expected to reach 9 billion people by 2050, which means double agricultural production in order to meet food demands. Farm enterprises require new and innovative technologies to face and overcome these challenges. Artificial intelligence robotics is one of these technologies that promises to provide a solution. An increasing number of farmbots are being developed that are capable of complex tasks that have not been possible with the large-scale agricultural machinery in the past. Here's a list of real use cases of robots that will help agriculture changing.

The US Navy is set to use a radical new drone that can be launched from a submarine. The Blackwing drone is stored in a three inch tube, and uses existing systems submarines use for acoustic countermeasures. Once airborne, the shell falls apart and the drone unfurls its wings. The Blackwing drones are launched from a three-inch canister aboard submarines or unmanned underwater vehicles. The miniature UAVs are launched through the boats' existing systems it uses for acoustic countermeasures and have a flight endurance of less than an hour'AeroVironment's new Blackwing unmanned aircraft system is a valuable new capability that resulted from our team's close collaboration with, and responsiveness to, the U.S. Navy's undersea warfare community and the Special Operations community,' said Kirk Flittie, AeroVironment vice president and general manager of its Unmanned Aircraft Systems business segment.

France will deploy anti-drone technology to interfere with and take control of any flying machines that violate no-fly zones over stadiums at the European Championship, part of unprecedented measures to secure Europe's biggest sports event since the Paris attacks in November. In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Euro 2016 security chief Ziad Khoury said Tuesday that no-fly zones will be declared over all 10 stadiums as well as training grounds for the 24 teams at the June 10-July 10 tournament. "We've noted the general proliferation of drone-usage in society," Khoury said in his Paris office. "So no-fly zones will be defined over every training ground and every stadium, and in most stadiums and for most matches anti-drone measures -- which are quite innovative -- will be deployed, working with the state, which will interfere with drones and take control of them if they are spotted." French authorities have trained for the possibility of drones being used to disperse chemical weapons over crowds.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator franchise painted a dystopian picture of the robotic future In the James Cameron blockbuster The Terminator and its follow up sequels, the world was ruled by machines. Flying robots patrolled the skies even as land-based vehicles with minds of their own trundled along on the ground below. But thankfully, instead of trying to wipe out humanity, these drones may possibly soon be an indispensable component of our lives: building skyscrapers using 3D printing technology; transporting cargo across town; crop spraying; or helping find people trapped in buildings. Lockheed Martin's K-Max is a full size, unmanned helicopter, capable of both autonomous and remote-controlled operations. Previously deployed in combat zones, it is now increasingly being used for civilian applications, from fire fighting, to heavy lifting and oil drilling.

Hotel developer Mihir Wankawala clicked on the link a friend had sent him and watched in shock: Drone-shot video shows dozens of union protesters, the view rising to peer in the windows of the historic hotel property Wankawala was carefully refurbishing. The whole video, which the unions posted to YouTube, is ominously set to Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me." "I guess they were trying to show their power," says Wankawala, who says he sought bids from union and non-union contractors and discovered that using solely organized labor would increase his costs by around 30 percent. This is my first project [in Philadelphia]. I think they were trying to send a message that you have to use union labor to get your project done." Such scare tactics are nothing new; for decades, Philadelphia's construction unions have used violence, vandalism, harassment and intimidation to dominate the construction industry.

Fox reports that DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, is developing a defense technology using special pods that hibernate on the ocean floor until they are deployed. The pods, called "Upward Falling Payloads," or UFPs, are 15 feet high and weigh 5,000 pounds. They contain state-of-the-art military technology such as unmanned aerial vehicles that can be used for monitoring and surveillance or weapon systems to be deployed as a form of defense. The military can pre-position the pods throughout the world's oceans, lying dormant until they are activated in weeks, months or years. The UFPs can be activated remotely from anywhere in the world.

When you think about exoskeletons you probably have a hard metal or plastic device strapped to a human. But there is a team at Harvard University which believes that the future of the exoskeletons lies in textiles and soft robotics. So they created a lightweight flexible suit that augments human performance. Let's imagine we can bring people back after brain death. We injected into such person substances that rebuild the brain.

Driverless cars, drones and a proposed first commercial spaceport for the UK will feature in the Queen's speech. The Department for Transport has said such cutting-edge technologies are crucial to the country's economy and that its proposals, to be unveiled on Wednesday, will help deliver jobs. Legislation will be introduced to enable driverless cars, already trialled in the UK, to be insured under ordinary policies. The government has said that the spaceport will be constructed by the end of the current parliament. The self-driving car market is currently growing at 16% a year and could be worth up to 900bn worldwide by 2025, while the port is part of the government's plan to raise revenues in the space sector from 12bn to 40bn by 2030, which would mean capturing about 10% of the sector worldwide.
