The guy who made the Millennium Falcon drone is back with a Tie Fighter version

By Drew Prindle Published June 19, 2017

Remember that guy who made a working replica of the Millennium Falcon with a quadcopter drone and some foam? As promised, he’s back with another badass Star Wars-inspired creation: a custom-built TIE Interceptor drone.

Designed by YouTuber and aerial videography boss Oliver C, the guts of the drone are basically identical to those used in the Millennium Falcon. The base drone is a “Prophecy 335″ — a quadcopter of Oliver’s own design, built from the ground up using off-the-shelf parts. To give it the dagger-like imperial aesthetic that the TIE Interceptor is known for, he made a custom “skin” out of lightweight foam that fits snugly onto the drone’s chassis.

And the coolest part? Oliver has posted DIY instructions for all of his creations online, so with a few hunks of foam and some basic tools, you can totally build one of these badboys on your own.

Weekend project = found.

AI turned a disgraced President under house arrest into a live avatar for another election campaign

Bolsonaro found an AI-shaped route back onto the campaign stage

Jair Bolsonaro is barred from Brazil’s 2026 presidential election, being confined to house arrest and restricted from communicating publicly. But an AI-generated version of the former president still managed to take the stage at his son’s campaign launch.

The synthetic Bolsonaro appeared in a video at the launch of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro’s presidential campaign in São Paulo. It openly identified itself as AI-generated before endorsing Flávio as the person chosen to carry forward his father’s political movement. Flávio is running against incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Brazil’s October election.

AI can turn a cloud of scuba bubbles into an early warning for divers

An underwater robot can estimate breathing rates from video, although the research stops short of proving that it can diagnose stress or distress

University of Minnesota researchers have taught an AI underwater robot to estimate a diver’s breathing rate by watching the bubbles released with each exhalation.

The contactless system, detailed in a peer-reviewed study published in The International Journal of Robotics Research, works with ordinary camera footage. Divers don’t need to squeeze another sensor into an equipment loadout that is hardly lacking for accessories.

Microsoft wants AI to catch hackers before they even attack

Red team, blue team, green team: Microsoft just gave its AI a full security squad.

With AI now capable of writing exploits and running attacks at machine speed, the security tools built for a slower, human-paced world are starting to show their age. Microsoft thinks it has the answer, and it's calling it Project Perception.

So what exactly is Project Perception?
