Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder, University of Colorado Denver and the Boston-based Scientific Systems Company (SSCI), Inc., have partnered to design drones that can explore underground environments like subway tunnels, mines and caves.

New research and testing at the National Renewable Energy Lab outside of Boulder, with the help of CU Engineering, could transform the way wind turbines are created and used around the world - reducing costs along the way.

The proposed center is a hot topic in the Internet of Things. It cuts across nearly every industry including aerospace, manufacturing, industrial automation personalized health, fitness, smart cities, smart homes, and smart transportation.

Unmanned aerial vehicles allow researchers to collect huge volumes of biological data cheaply, easily, and at higher resolution than ever before.

The military’s research arm said Friday it will invest up to $2 billion over the next five years toward new programs advancing artificial intelligence, stepping up both a technological arms race with China and an ideological clash with Silicon Valley over the future of powerful machines.

A new flying ambulance service will use small helicopters outfitted with tech that could eventually let them fly without pilots.

Over two thousand researchers in artificial intelligence and robotics, from both academia and industry, recently signed a pledge to "neither participate in nor support the development, manufacture, trade, or use of lethal autonomous weapons.” The pledge defines these weapons as "selecting and engaging targets without human intervention,” and one of...

Mechanical Engineering Associate Professor Sean Humbert released a National Academies Report predicting the imminent threats of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUASs) on deployed U.S. forces. This research is supported through a study titled "Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System Capability for Battalion-and-Below Operations." Commerical drones, also known as "hobby drones," are becoming more...
