Introduction Fly-by-wire (FBW) technology has revolutionized modern aviation by replacing traditional mechanical and hydraulic control systems with digital flight control computers (DFCCs). Unlike conventional systems, which rely on direct mechanical linkages or hydraulic actuators between the pilot’s controls and the aircraft’s control surfaces, FBW systems use electronic signals to relay …

Researchers are developing the Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT), a worldwide network of smart interconnected underwater objects that would transmit data from existing and planned roaming, autonomous vehicles, and underwater sensor networks to networks above the surface in real-time. DARPA launched the “Ocean of Things” program in 2017 to …

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. By 2025, it is predicted that there can …

Neuroscience (or neurobiology) is the scientific study of the nervous system. It is a multidisciplinary branch of biology that combines physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, cytology, mathematical modeling and psychology to understand the fundamental and emergent properties of neurons and neural circuits. Neuroanatomists studied the brain’s shape, its …

A robot swarm typically consists of tiny, simple, indistinguishable robots that are each equipped with a sensor (and a camera, radar and/or sonar so they can gather information about their surrounding environment). When one robot collects and shares data with the others in the group, it allows the singular robots …
