This V-shaped drone runs on two silent propellers instead of four noisy ones

Why bother with four propellers when two can easily do the job? Developed by Zero Zero Robotics, the V-Coptr Falcon really ushers in a new design direction for drones, because unlike most drones with anywhere from 4-8 propellers, the V-Coptr Falcon cuts the clutter and opts for just two of them. They fold into the body when packed, and outward into a V-shape when ready to use. The propellers come with the ability to change direction, tilting in a way that’s reminiscent of the Boeing V-22 Osprey. With its innovative dual-rotor format, the bi-copter proves to be just as maneuverable as its four-rotor cousins, and even more silent, thanks to its proprietary stealth-mode propellers. The V-Coptr Falcon also comes with an SNPE neural network engine that helps it sense environments in real-time, allowing it to actively recognize and avoid objects and collisions mid-flight. Mounted on the V-Coptr Falcon’s front is a 3-axis mechanical gimbal that holds the drone’s 12-megapixel CMOS-sensor enabled camera that can shoot in 4K, while its industry-leading 50-minute flight time and 7 kilometer HD transmission of recorded footage allows you to fly higher, further, and for longer!

Contemporary Chinese Cinema: Shunji Iwai’s Letters from Shanghai

Contemporary Chinese Cinema  is a column devoted to exploring contemporary Chinese-language cinema primarily as it is revealed to us at North American multiplexes. The sneakiest major release of the year is surely the latest from Japanese director Shunji Iwai, whose new movie opens this Friday at a dozen multiplexes around North America courtesy of the distributor China Lion Film. Last Letter is Iwai’s first film made in China, and stars Zhou Xun, who starred in one of last year’s best films, Ann Hui’s Our Time Will Come , which was also distributed here by China Lion. That he would be working in a new country is no surprise: Iwai is one of the more eclectic filmmakers of his generation: having started in TV and video in the early 90s before moving into film, he’s since made documentaries and music videos, science fiction films and anime, epics of modern alienation and ravishingly romantic odes to the wonders of youth and love. His last film, Chang-ok’s Letter , was an hour-long...

Incandescent indie, reflective hip-hop, jangly post-punk and more genre-bending tunes from the week Juletta + Ishan: Gut Feeling Juletta + Ishan’s “Gut Feeling” is best described through its beautiful contradictions: haunting and luminescent, smooth and uneasy, buoyant and weighty. Written and produced by both artists, the track appears on the NYC-based duo’s debut album, If I Never Hit Land (out this Friday), which is based … COOL HUNTING® https://ift.tt/35p5Vqj October 18, 2020 at 01:03PM
