tit depends on how you were raised sometimes when a daddy drone and momma drone have urges they can act upon them without he intent on making another drone hormones in drones is a thing and well when nature calls its hard to tell her no
Modular drone swarms could be useful in reverse as well. Sort of like MIRV missal tech. A swarm is kept as a unit in a launch system like a catapult, then spreads out as needed or when it reaches its destination.
Thomas Bitmata and MinChan Kim, worked with the company to "teach" and race the AI race drone about a year ago. They did multiple videos on it. It's surprising how much it took for the AI to finally beat MCK (MinChan Kim). If you do not kno FPV drone racing, look him up and watch a video. It's hard to believe its a person flying.
Not an expert: It is an interesting idea to make individual drones combine when necessary. However, more complex drone structures would have a problem with lift, as rotors operating next to each other would create interfering airflows (eddy currents) which would lower efficiency. Thereby larger structures would gradually lose more and more carrying capacity the bigger they get. This could be cureable when the individual drones are spaced far apart, which would make the design less versatile for shaping
2nd order stuff. If that were a problem, and the props would have to be very closely spaced to have much interaction, you could just put short ducts (rings) around them to mitigate. Even axially, there are push/pull configurations used in fluids, both gas and liquid, like counter rotating propellers on aircraft like the OV10 or on boats, on the same shaft (axis wise, positionally, not literally) and this is common on drones, as well, usually with a separate motor/prop combination fore and aft. That last case offers benefit, in that if an engine on one boom fails, you still have lift on that boom from the remaining one, which if designed to operate on one motor alone, at least long enough to get to the ground, could be very important, especially where occupant safety is an issue. There you have a LOT of interaction, and the flow trailing motor does experience some loss, but not as much as you'd think, since the 'winding up' the forward prop induces is actually beneficial to the counter-rotating rear propeller. There are losses due to irregular flow, though, as you say. In the close proximity tip to tip orientation, as in a typical hex or octocopter where they aren't widely spaced at all, they don't seem to experience the problem you posited to any appreciable extent, if you want an example to demonstrate my point. You also see them spaced rather closely on the wings of rotating VTOL aircraft being designed today. I expect that there is a possibility, if designed properly, you could actually make those tip vortices work to your advantage. Cheers.
They are also advancing the way they can send data to space probes, using lasers. It can make it so we can send HD video in basically real time. Where currently we've had to use such prehistoric data transfer rates. So slow that the photos from space probes takes months/years to upload just the photos.
Advancements in energy storage technology hold unparalleled potential to revolutionize our world. Coupled with the rapid emergence of robotics and AI, overcoming the constraints of power consumption could truly unlock limitless possibilities, transforming the landscape of innovation and progress on a global scale.
Would be nice grasp the idea that all criminal activity can be punished by drones. No war criminal can escape his karma. Also many drones together can assemble themselves into something of a bigger machine to give aid. Difficult spots can be maintained more easily. Wow
Imagine drones that fire multiple 'lassos' to bind you up, and then just take off into the sky with you still kicking and screaming. From there.... depends on who's using the drones.... but the simplest technique to affecting terror with these drones would be the good ol 'lift n drop' in broad daylight lmfaoooo
Drone evolution could lead to a lot of tasks being automated that previously could only be done by a human or thought to be dome by some human shaped robot. Interesting. So more manual labor automation coming probably sooner than expected.
You're not going to have to wait for five year's. The lessons we've learned from Ukraine. We will see huge advancements in drone technology within 3 years. As the military advancement in drine technology advances, so will civilian drone technology.

Maybe drones can be used in place of lifts in buildings and in warehouses and construction sites instead of forklifts and cranes drones can also be deployed to escape or save people from burning buildings.
they should make an ai lidar mapping drone which could be used in cave exploration. Like in the movie prometheus... That was extremely sci fi yet achievable with todays tech :)
You guys could solve all of your energy requirements by switching to a true internal combustion engine instead of continuing to use this electrochemical internal combustion engine that you guys insist on calling batteries
