Topic #3: Smart drones that recognize your gestures? And other tec
From:https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/drone-blimp-gestures/
Technology will change privacy issues with facial recognition and machine learning are drones becoming a platform that will invade our privacy. Small sensors, Stingray, FLIR, LIDAR, etc
But this can also go the other way, researchers at Georgia Tech are working on a drone that recognizes gestures and will back off if signaled to do so. They are teaching it to be aware of human reaction and act appropriately.
It is also a mini-blip format and could be used in stores!
