Hoverload - Payload system for drones or quads


Drones are incredibly important for a range of applications. Some of the most exciting applications for drones is use them for deploying medicine, food, supplies, equipment to remote locations.

Hover, lift and deliver
Most larger drones or quads like the DJI inspire will lift anything from 2-4 pounds in weight and don't have means of attaching or releasing loads. This is where Hoverloads - The payload system comes in. It is an advanced tubular aluminium design simply bolts under the drone/quad. The servo mechanism is then attached to the sub-frame to allow the load to be released easily remotely.

How it works
Simply attach the load cable to the servo catch. Gently lift the load and fly to your destination. Once flown into position, release the load by pressing the remote button. The signal is transmitted wirelessly either 2.4gHz or 5.8gHz. The servo releases a stainless pin, the cable releases and the load is delivered. The system is designed to be very easy to use and re-use.

There are potentially so many uses for this technology. It could be simple as putting out small fires, delivering medicine to feeding fish remotely. The applications are many.

iAi - Intelligent Artificial Intelligence

We are in the exciting new frontier of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is hidden in a lot technology and is revolutionising the way we work, or not work so to speak. The machine learning helps cut time, save money as it works tirelessly without needing a toilet break. Where is it going? INTELLIGENCE + AI  = iAi As we rely more on machine based deep learning, there are going to be future issues that will need to be addressed. Who will police it? Like AI injustice for example. Where AI has made a judgement and it is simply wrong, but what can be done about it! Questions will be asked - Is the AI decision correct, fair or legal? There is a solution. I envisage this injustice will manifest in a new service 'Intelligent Artificial Intelligence' checkers or iAi for short! AI police I can see iAi will becoming a societal safety net, spotting blips, wrong decisions or any coding issues that shape potentially bad decisions. It could possibly become another police force in th...

Block chain business development

Every business needs a huge resource of input, from ideas to financial input. However, sometimes this is limited by what is available. A solution may be in block chains. Idea Most business's cannot afford the expertise to have in house. One option around this is to use the power of the block-chain and develop a new way of driving business innovation.  Block chain A block chain is a documented chain of events that add up to an end result. How about having a way of floating ideas, they are then developed socially and as ideas are reviewed and adopted, they become part of the dna of the product or company. Depending if this an idea, investment or labour, a proportion of the profits will dissected amongst the whole chain. This way, you could get many invisible contributors to companies helping them grow and prosper without any outlay. Each company could measure the success of the input and assign percentages. Win Win all-round. Please feel free to share and comme...

Robotic tractors with AI cloud based GPS automation

The new decade will demand more AI automation. This will included all industries where there is a higher demand on labour. One such need is farming.  Future farming Most farms can be run remotely including all the crop and land management. One big area is using GPS guided mini tractors. There will be a time when tractors will be programmed and set off to perform certain tasks around the farm including drilling, spraying and cultivation. The need To have an accurate way of managing land at arms length. Most land is monitored for yield, the next step is to have AI operated technology for accuracy and cost reduction. The answer Use self-automated mini robotic tractors. The tractors are connected to cloud based controllers, where farmers have full control. Already, farms are monitored for yield and efficiency, the next step will be to connect this to program that manages the program for the field. The steps Setup up details for fields State what you would like to grow ...
