Will a hacked DJI save lives at sea?
Drones are becoming popular tools for first responders. My wife and I are planning a weekend trip aboard my best friend's sailboat (he actually owns one-quarter of the sailboat), so this one seems especially relevant. Shapeways, the 3D printing-on-demand service, is teaming up with DJI to turn the crazy popular Phantom 4 drone into a disaster response vehicle. If any first responders are reading, and if you get a distress ping near Catalina Island in a couple weeks and decide to send a drone, please make it a beer drone. Computer vision and 3D imaging are helping robots find new uses outside the factory.
