Drones and Robotics
Advanced robotics have furthered the development of autonomous systems, which increasingly have produced unmanned platforms for security applications. Robots that can defuse bombs, for example, can mitigate specific threats while safeguarding human lives. So too have drones widened the use of video surveillance from the air. SIA tracks the latest developments in such technologies for its members.
Guest Opinion: Why It’s Time to Get Serious About the Risk of Commercial Drones
Building Intelligence President Bill Edwards says federal policy regulating commercial drone technology is better late than never but far too shortsighted. There is no argument against the fact that we are experiencing the “Wild West” with the evolution of commercial drone technology. I recently read that the commander of the United States Special Operations Command…

Solving Business Challenges With Computer Vision: Artificial Intelligence Technologies Will Soon Be Transformative
Alan Turing is considered to be a founding pioneer of artificial intelligence (AI), dating back to the 1940s. The role of AI, in particular computer vision, has dramatically increased since then, in part because of the overwhelming amount of digital and visual data in our daily lives. Computer vision is one of the most advanced…

3 Tips for Evaluating Mobile Drone Detection
In the past, drones were only used for military purposes. Today, they are so accessible and affordable that businesses, hobbyists and, unfortunately, bad actors continue to find new ways to use them. Hobbyists may not have bad intentions, but they are sometimes misinformed or careless. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued regulations that all…
