Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) conducts a survey of bighorn sheep on Pikes Peak twice a year, however, observing herds can be difficult on the steep summit. Now, for the first time, CPW deployed a drone to do the job and it showed a cool aerial view of the animals in their natural habitat.

The Drone Racing League’s latest aerial speedster is capable of accelerating from 0 to 90mph in less than a second. Here’s how you can get your hands on one to put through its paces.
Amazon has grand plans to deliver packages to its customers via autonomous drones but first it needs to get clearance.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists collaborated with autonomous vehicle specialists, Saildrone, to test whether the seafaring robot could survive the rough waters, and make successful scientific observations
