What US city will be the first to deploy surveillance drones developed by the military? (Read
the complete story)
| "Fans of Iain Banks might also be thinking of the loiter-drones from his 2004 novel The Algebraist." (Bill Christensen 1/10/2011 9:04:18 AM) |
| "I thought of the flying droid from "Attack of the Clones" that was controlled by the assassin/bounty hunter. Obi Wan jumps through the window at the beginning of the movie, grabs onto it, and rides it through Coruscant. I wonder how much weight the real one can lift?" ( 1/10/2011 3:01:36 PM) |
| "The T-Hawk System Features page on their website doesn't say, but it alludes to the use of Honeywell-approved "modular, interchangeable sensor packaging"." (Bill Christensen 1/10/2011 3:33:47 PM) |
| "Here's a picture of the ASN-121 Courier Droid from Attack of the Clones, which has some features that the T-Hawk lacks, including emitting disruptive energy beams, which allow it to bypass security screens. Also, the fusion reactor that powers the droid (that's where the power to carry Obi Wan comes from) can also power a self-defensive electroshock device (which is the oldest trick in the sci-fi book - see Electrify the Rail from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne [1875]).
 (ASN-121 Courier Droid) " |
| "I think there was also a flying camera in Back to the Future II. After Marty changed the timeline and Griff crashes into the courthouse a flying robot from the newspaper USA Today snaps his photo" ( 1/11/2011 1:43:35 PM) |
