Pizza company Domino's teased a driverless delivery robot back in 2015, and now it will be a reality for some customers. Domino's is using a fleet of autonomous robots built by Starship Technologies to deliver pizza in European cities, Starship announced Wednesday. The robots, which are different from the previously teased vehicle, will deliver pizzas within a one-mile radius around a Domino's locations in selected cities in the Netherlands and Germany. Domino's Group CEO Don Meij said the robot delivery units will "complement" the company's current delivery methods, such as cars, scooters and e-bikes. He added that the partnership between the pizza company and Starship makes regular robot deliveries one step closer to reality.

To incorporate drones in our lives in a good and safe way, we need anti-drone instruments. On 4 December the TU Delft Micro Air Vehicle Lab (MAVLab) will host the first ever anti-drone competition: DroneClash. During this competition, participants use their own drone(s) to take down as many other drones as possible. They also need to avoid a whole series of anti-drone interventions. 'Drones can fly into our lives, but we need to be able to take them out again if necessary' says Bart Remes of the TU Delft MAVLab. 'Drone development has grown hugely in recent years, and you can see the anti-drone industry growing too.

Drones could someday have a sort of invisible license plate that allows local authorities to determine who the unmanned aerial system (UAS) belongs too. Pitched by Chinese drone manufacturer DJI, the concept for an electronic identification system for small drones is just one of many ideas as the Federal Aviation Administration looks into potential ways of identifying drone users. DJI suggests drones should use the radio equipment already on board most systems to transmit a unique registration number. That number would identify the drone owner to law enforcement in the event of a complaint or flight through a restricted area. Areas with restricted drone flight, such as airports, could use radio equipment to read that number and report the ID number to the authorities.

The global chain has dropped pies from the skies with drones. It's working to let you order from any gadget you can hook up to the internet. It launched an artificial intelligence platform. Starting today, when the hungry masses in Hamburg, Germany order from Domino's, it may not be a fellow in a car or on a bike making the delivery, but an autonomous, cooler-sized machine, casually rolling down the sidewalk. In a world where delivery giants like Amazon and UPS are racing toward high-flying drone deliveries, this robot reads more'cute' than'future.'

The United States has repeatedly attacked AQAP, the Yemeni arm of the militant group, in strikes this month from aircraft and unmanned drones in what U.S officials says is a campaign to degrade the group's ability to coordinate militant attacks abroad.

Idaho has become the second U.S. state to pass legislation to permit unmanned, ground-based delivery robots to rove around on sidewalks across the state. Earlier this month, Virginia made robotics history as the first state to pass a law specifically addressing the use of autonomous terrestrial delivery robots. The new Idaho law, which was signed by the governor today, goes into effect July 1. The legislation was championed by state Republican lawmakers, Jason Monks in the House and Bert Brackett in the Senate. Monks worked with Starship Technologies, an Estonia-based robot delivery company, on the legislation, which sailed through both state houses to pass in less than a month.

An American startup called Cape has just launched a platform that will allow users to control one of their DJI Inspire 1 drones in real time. More specifically, participants can choose their flight location -- only in California for now -- and then manipulate the unmanned aerial vehicle via laptop, tablet or phone. It's important to note that users can only pilot the Cape drone in their desired location and would not be able to leave it. If you navigate the quadcopter away from its permitted zone, the device will immediately switch to autopilot -- the feature will also help prevent unnecessary accidents or crashes. The company has described it as "the world's first online drone flight platform."

After numerous rejections, Apple finally decided to allow a drone-strike notification app back on the App Store Tuesday after it was pulled in 2015 -- and then took it down again hours later. The app called Metadata, created by Josh Begley from The Intercept, sends a notification every time a U.S. drone strike is reported in the news. Begley, created the app five years ago and called it Drone . He said Tuesday in an article for The Intercept Apple rejected the app three times for "excessively objectionable or crude content." However, the app didn't include graphic images or video and only aggregated news about drone strikes. "If anything about the app is'excessively objectionable or crude,' perhaps it's the airstrikes themselves," wrote Begley.

The country is already selling truck-mounted laser cannons: the Low Altitude Guard and the higher powered Silent Hunter. The Silent Hunter uses a laser to zap ground and air targets up to 4 kilometers (about 2.5 miles) away, and at closer range is powerful enough to threaten lightly armored vehicles. The government used the Silent Hunter to protect the September 2016 G20 summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Such "hard kill" systems would be necessary to fight future autonomous drone threats, which won't be so easily disabled by jammed communications. The current use of drones by militaries and everyday citizens, coupled with the promise of AI-enhanced and networked platforms, suggests that we will see more technology and incidents of the kind shown off at Wuhan.
