Drones are effective search and rescue tools, but they rely on GPS signals. MIT researchers have come up with a new solution: using LIDAR LIDAR technology, which guides driverless cars, to navigate drones. Instead of using GPS laser pointer, the researchers used LIDAR LIDAR to map the forest. Each drone can draw a 2D map,…

MIT researchers are using lasers to attract aliens to earth
A new study by an MIT graduate student published in the astrophysical journal suggests that humans could theoretically construct an infrared laser pointer that would be enough to attract the attention of intelligent civilizations if it were aimed at nearby exoplanets. However, the probability of contact with current methods and technologies is very low, but…
Laser-powered flying robots are the size of toothpicks
Engineers at the university of Washington have developed a laser-powered RoboFly. RoboFly, which weighs only a little more than a toothpick, is powered by a built-in circuit that converts laser pointer into enough electricity to power its wings. Earlier this year RoboFly flew its first unrestricted flaps, the first flight of the wireless flying robotic…
Laser technology and intelligent micro investment rise projection industry ushered in the shuffle period
As we mentioned in the article two years ago, the mature application of laser pointer technology and the rise of intelligent projector will inevitably lead to the explosion of the whole projector industry. Nearly two years of hot projector market also confirmed this to guess really, industrial boom drew the look of a lot of…
Scientists have developed a new directional random laser
A team of researchers from tampere polytechnic university in Finland, the university of Southampton in the UK and case western reserve university in the us have demonstrated a new random laser pointer design, which improves the laser properties and directs the laser output in the specified direction by light-induced soliton waveguides, foreign media reported. The…
IPG introduces a new generation of high power laser
In November 2018, IPG announced the launch of a new generation of high-power laser pointer. This new product not only has the smallest weight and size in the industry and the highest electro-optical conversion efficiency in the industry, but also integrates three innovations, namely quasi-continuous (QCW) mode, adjustable mode beam (AMB) mode and high-power scanning…
TRUMPF launched its green laser technology to support 3D printing of precious metals such as copper and gold
TRUMPF, a German machine-tool maker, announced at Formnext last week that its TruPrint 5000 could print high-carbon steel or titanium alloys, while its new green laser pointer pulse products could print pure copper and other precious metals. TRUMPF unveiled its new pulsed green laser in Frankfurt last week, demonstrating its ability to 3D print pure…
Germany has developed a new laser anti-fouling technology for aircraft surfaces
Based on the lotus leaf effect, the fraunhofer institute for materials and beam technology (IWS) has developed a laser material processing method known as direct laser interferometry (DLIP). The technique USES special optical devices to split a single laser pointer beam into several splitter beams that are reassembled on the surface of the metal to…
The Russian national guard will be equipped with laser vehicles that can temporarily blind people
The Russian national guard has purchased a number of vehicles equipped with lasers and noise equipment for counter-terrorism operations, spokesman valery gribakin said, foreign media reported. The vehicles are designed to make noise and other disturbances while performing anti-aircraft tasks. Noise equipment can produce up to 135 decibels of noise within 10 meters, while the…
Laser technology enables commercial new light source projectors to change the future
In the era of traditional light source projector, product homogeneity is serious, especially the domestic projector only in the price competition. Since the application of new light source technology in the projector market, projector products have begun a new round of technical competition. And the new light source technology is also known as the subversion…
