Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology are working on a new autonomous search and rescue system made up of a marine vessel that can launch a fleet of fixed-wing drones to scout a predefined area, along with live-feed quadcopters.

Insta360 has announced a dedicated 360-degree camera setup for DJI's Mavic Air 2 or 2S drones that allows pilots to capture all-around immersive photos or videos while effectively cutting the camera-drone out of recorded aerial images altogether.

DJI's range of enterprise drones has a new flagship in the shape of the Matrice 30, which can fly in driving rain, high winds and even snow. It's ready for remote operation beyond line of sight, and can be had with an autonomous docking station.

Three years after collaborating with Hasselblad for the Mavic 2 Pro's camera module, DJI has pushed the envelope further for the launch of the Mavic 3 by mounting a dual camera setup to the stabilized gimbal for 5.1K video or 28x zoom photos.
