    Disney Research Creates "PaintCopter: An Autonomous UAV for Spray Painting on 3D Surfaces"

    We've seen some pretty interesting work come out of Disney Research in the past, like techniques for digitally recreating teeth, makeup-projecting lamps, a group AR experience and a stick-like robot that can perform backflips. One of its latest projects is PaintCopter -- a drone that can...

    Mavic Freezed after update

    Make sure you didn't accidentally hit the switch to change it to WiFi mode instead of RC. Also try relinking (binding) the RC and the AC through the linking process.

    Setting sun issue

    Yes. That's probably what happened. The Mavic's sensors see a setting sun as an obstacle and can stop flying forward when flying freely or can see it as an obstacle to be avoided when RTH is triggered into the sun. If you're flying back into the sun with RTH (and out of LOS or out of signal...

    Thoughts on hacking Mavic 2 NFZ/HEIGHT/SPEED...

    That's not the height restriction. The height restriction baked in to the firmware is at 500 meters (1640 feet) and this is the altitude restriction being talked about. Lest one think that only outlaws fly over 500 meters in altitude or have a need for that, many of us have requirements to fly...

    Had my first semi "confrontation"

    Just to clarify, it is BS. This is a weird declaration, especially coming from an alleged realtor in Texas, as that is required knowledge for licensing in Texas. Subsurface rights (technically "mineral rights") in Texas are not owned by the state. They are, however, severable (meaning someone...

    Mavic 2 Landing

    That's just a stock photo (for illustrative purposes only). It's not from a settings screen of the MP2. Sorry for the confusion.

    Its always Foggy inside my Camera!

    Temporary moisture build-up is one thing but permanent fogginess suggests that the seal of the camera lens is defective and "drying" it might fix it temporarily, but it will inevitably return. Since shipping back is not an option, purchase of a replacement lens (and swapping it out) may be the...

    Another drone in the Airport

    What you're really talking about here is two different versions of "risk". One version, that all airlines, airports, etc. must operate under, is "operational risk". That calculation of risk (probability x severity) of any particular hazard is counterbalanced by "operational need" - or in other...

    Have had trouble understanding computers for Davinci Resolve

    This is the rule - buy the best computer that you can afford. Focus on the GPU strength (the nVidia card for the XPS) and get the best one you can, followed by more RAM and a better CPU, followed by a decent SSD drive. As you found with your older computer, almost any computer can "run"...

    Have had trouble understanding computers for Davinci Resolve

    Read this article and follow on from there. Your question is far too involved for a brief forum response. DaVinci Resolve System Requirements - A Reality Check Bottom line, for video editing, focus on your graphics card. That's where you need the most "oomph". And I'm not sure what you mean...
