Schools across the United States, specifically in Georgia, Florida, and Colorado, are implementing drone programs designed to react to active shooter situations. Provided by Campus Guardian Angel, these specialized aircraft can deploy pepper balls or deliver kinetic energy strikes intended to incapacitate attackers. The tactical approach for these drones was inspired by battlefield techniques observed during the war in Ukraine. While proponents see them as a way to manage and occupy threats until law enforcement arrives, critics argue that reactive technology fails to address the underlying need for violence prevention strategies.
- Drones are equipped with lances capable of breaking through windows not protected by ballistic film.
- The aircraft support two-way verbal communication between remote operators and people on campus.
- Programs in some states, such as Georgia, have received specific legislative funding to implement the technology.

OLogic provides full-cycle robot engineering services, guiding projects from initial concept sketches through to final manufacturing and market readiness. Their methodology focuses on iterative prototyping to facilitate early testing and design refinement throughout the development lifecycle. The service covers essential stages such as product requirements planning, electrical engineering specialized for motor control and sensor networks, industrial and mechanical design including thermal analysis, software development, compliance testing for FCC/UL/CE standards, and comprehensive design for manufacturing support.
ROSbot is a ROS powered 4x4 drive autonomous mobile robot platform equipped with LIDAR, RGB-D camera, IMU, encoders, distance sensors. Available in versions 3, 2R, 2 PRO, and 2.
This project walks you through building your own Inventory Robot that can automatically identify, organize, and track the components you use in your workspace. After finishing a prototype, placing every part back in the right spot can become time-consuming and difficult. This robot solves that by intelligently sorting and maintaining a clear inventory of your items.
Edison is a programmable robot designed to be a complete STEM teaching resource for coding and robotics education for students from 4 to 16 years of age. Edison empowers students to become not just coders, but inventors, problem solvers, and creative thinkers.
This article discusses using MIT's App Inventor to create a custom Android app for controlling a Raspberry Pi-based robot via Bluetooth. It details the ease of use of App Inventor, the challenges of setting up Bluetooth communication on the Linux side (specifically with Bluez), and a workaround involving a custom server to handle Bluetooth communication.
