Unmanned aerial systems
Autonomous Modular Wireless Aerial Devices
Introduction
This is a project I started because while I am interested in R/C devices as a curiosity, my interest lies more in the business and social implications of the technology.
Scope of this project
This project will attempt to assess whether or not the state of the art is currently conducive to this sort of technology, and if it is, how best to implement the technology.
Possible Future Implications
If it is found that this technology in this project is currently viable, and research produced at Wikiversity proves fruitful, then intellectual property issues come into play. At traditional universities, when new technologies are produced often, the university earns money from licensing these technologies. I am not a lawyer so I cannot say what legally is or is not true, however, it should be stated right off the bat that if it is found that this technology is in fact new, and/or patentable then while the writings here are probably subject to the licenses inherent in the Wikimedia projects, proper compensation should be granted to both the Wikimedia Foundation and those involved in producing the research in this project. This of course depends on: the law surrounding the intellectual property contained herein, and the goodwill of those who ultimately adopt the technology if it is found viable, useful, and desirable. The Media Wiki system, however, documents the progress of this project that was started on and by: --Remi0o 05:08, 18 December 2006 (UTC).
