Drones, by definition, are unmanned aerial vehicles. But what happens when a drone is big and powerful enough to carry a person, can it still be considered a drone? And the video of this thing, called the Volocopter VC200, is something you won't want to miss. The company behind the Volocopter, E-Volo, announced the success of its first manned flight with a video featuring managing director Alexander Zosel. The Volocopter is held aloft by 18 separate rotors and is maneuvered with a joystick and altitude control buttons.

On Friday, SpaceX will attempt to launch an uncrewed Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station, the first cargo run to the space laboratory since the company's Falcon 9 rocket disintegrated after launch above Florida in June. SEE ALSO: SpaceX misses its rocket landing on a drone ship... again The private spaceflight company founded by Elon Musk is also hoping to bring the first stage of the rocket back down to Earth, landing it on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean successfully for the first time. The Falcon 9 rocket is set to take flight at 4:43 p.m. ET, and you can watch the launch and landing live directly through SpaceX or in the window below. This means that if the rocket is launching a particularly heavy payload, or a smaller payload to a higher orbit, it will need to come back and land on the drone ship because of the high amount of fuel needed to make those missions successful. Definitely harder to land on a ship.

Literally anyone can purchase a consumer drone, which means that there are plenty of novice pilots out there. David Perel, an interface designer based out of South Africa, was working at his desk on Thursday when a runaway drone smashed through his office's window, bashing him in the head. SEE ALSO: Forget NASCAR, professional drone racing takes flight and it's incredible to watch "Sitting at my desk and a drone came crashing through my window and smashed me in the head," Perel wrote on Instagram. Fortunately, this DJI drone was equipped with a GoPro, giving us a perfect view of the action. Perel also stated on Instagram that he snagged the SD card on the GoPro, which he then edited and uploaded to YouTube.

Animals are perfect just the way they are, but they reach a new level of perfection when placed atop a Roomba.

There are plans for a new zoo to be built in western Sydney, but first, students and technology buffs will get to hack it. Sydney Zoo, which is set to sit on a 16.5-hectare (40.8-acre) site in Bungarribee, is collaborating with Western Sydney University to make the animal park a high-tech experience, not only for the visitors but the animals. The zoo will host a range of native Australian fauna, as well as exotic creatures including elephants and chimpanzees. Sydney Zoo is expected to open in late 2017 pending development application approval from the New South Wales government, a spokesperson told Mashable Australia. It's not often that zoos and startups work together, but to come up with ideas for how anything from augmented reality to drones could be used on-site, the university is hosting a hackathon Friday.

In a society where an affair is just a right-swipe away, snooping through your partner's phone can be tempting. While most people would argue that creating a dialogue around trust is preferable, a controversial new website makes snooping easier than memorizing their phone's passcode. Swipe Buster, a service that was quietly released last week, allows users to input information regarding their loved one, an ex, a coworker, or really whomever they're curious about, to find out if they're using the dating app Tinder. A user adds the person's name, age and the last place they most likely used the location-based app. To collect the data, Swipe Buster says it uses Tinder's API (application programming interface), which contains some information about its user pool.

China wants to lead the way on self-driving cars. And Volvo is here to help. Volvo Cars announced in Beijing, China Thursday morning local time that it plans to test 100 autonomous cars on public roads in normal traffic conditions in cities across the country. The plan follows a similar venture called "Drive Me," in which 100 self-driving cars will be leased to consumers in Gothenburg, Sweden by 2017. Volvo believes the introduction of autonomous driving technology promises to reduce car collisions.

You know what's cooler than printing robot parts on a 3D printer? Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory figured out how to hack a Stratasys 3D printer so that it not only prints the hard and flexible materials necessary for mobile robots, but also simultaneously adds in fluid to create working hydraulics, giving them the ability to print an entire, working hydraulic-actuated robot in one 3D print pass. The robot can even get up and walk away from the printer, after an external motor and battery is added. The scientists' work on the walking and slightly creepy hexapod robot (and other 3D printed hydraulics) is detailed in a new paper just submitted to IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. It describes how they hacked a 3D printer to accept fluid as a working material by replacing a built-in RFID chip for what is basically the printer's cleaning fluid with a chip that identifies the liquid as a printable material.

Bringing us one step closer to the day when computers compete directly with humans in the arts, a new painting has been created using software to mimic the style of a master. The painting, titled "The Next Rembrandt" (below), is the result of a team of developers who, with the technical support of Microsoft and backing from Dutch bank ING, sought to create an original new work "by Rembrandt" using data from his existing paintings. See also: Google's Tilt Brush artists show off the power of virtual reality art "When you want to make a new painting you have some idea of how it's going to look," said Ben Haanstra, a part of the developer team, in a press statement. "But in our case we started from basically nothing -- we had to create a whole painting using just data from Rembrandt's paintings." In order to produce the most accurate painting mimicking Rembrandt, developers created a facial recognition algorithm that identified the most common patterns used by the artist.

Publishers are continuously looking for new ways to expand their reach. Even Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg recognizes this. Discussing the company's performance last year, he told media how video remains central on the News Feed of its users. "We're entering into a period where that's increasingly going to be video -- and we're seeing huge growth there," he was quoted by Wired as saying. Yet not all publishers have the ability to produce video content.
