MIT Drone Drawings
Since the dawn of man, drawings have been put forth on a multitude of mediums. Cave, canvas, and computer. Much of these works derive from the movement of the human hand, but researchers at MIT’s Media Lab have developed a method for connecting man and machine in an effort to create unified art.

Autonomous Taxis In Singapore
The “driverless race” is here. Tech giants like Google, Uber, and Tesla are in a race against each other to rollout the first autonomous cars across major cities. nuTonomy, a smaller spinout from MIT, is working on doing the same but for Singapore. The startup is working on bringing a fleet of autonomous taxis to the area for a convenient way of public transportation while at the same time lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

Walking Origami Robot Can Fly
From Automaton:
Bipedal walking has worked out pretty well for humans. I guess. We’re kind of stuck with it until someone comes up with something better. And the really frustrating part is that all kinds of animals have already come up with better ways of getting around: specifically, birds and insects, who use wings to fly as well as legs and feet to walk. This multimodality makes birds and insects inherently versatile and adaptable, which is why you can find them doing quite well just about everywhere.
