Amazon Prime Air - Drone Delivery

Prime Air is a service that Amazon is developing who's goal is to get customer's deliveries to them in 30 minutes or less. The R&D team at Amazon is working on using drones to deliver small packages, up to five pounds, which accounts for 86 percent of the items sold on amazon. 

Amazon is working with the FAA to advance the rules and regulations to make this possible, which they say will take some years, with a goal as early as 2015. They also mention safety as their top priority.

Wired debunks this Cyber Monday Hoax.

WILD CAT

WildCat is a four-legged robot being developed to run fast on all types of terrain. So far WildCat has run at about 16 mph on flat terrain using bounding and galloping gaits. The video shows WildCat's best performance so far. WildCat is being developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from DARPA's M3 program.

I have been following this project for a while, and am really excited to see where it's headed. 

Get The Facts.

Just found this video explaining the merits of adding video to your website. The video style itself is not my favorite, but the facts presented are compelling.

In my research I recently discovered. Team Black Sheep.  

Here are some of their videos:
