actually regain his spot at the top of the sport. thank you. and he is a reminder of our top story. ukraine says at least 5 people have been killed in the southeast density of ne pro, after russia launched its 1st major wave of air strikes this. yeah, authority say other missiles, it's critical infrastructure and how to keep and live if keith was also talkative. that's all from us for now coming up next, our technology show shift looks at how drones has revolutionized the movie industry . i'm monica jones from me and the news team in berlin. thanks for watching the question of questions about life, the universe and everything. do you know the answer? well, man, give it here. for the the answer to almost everything,

our documentary series with whatever, raising ground breaking on a student community college, the after life, are we getting dumber and dumber? how can we feed everyone? questions for the present future app? heads filled with ideas. so get ready for the brain update. 40 to the answer to almost everything starts january 15th on d, w. just a few years ago, tracking shots like these were still a distant dream. today, they're basically common practice. i'm not just in hollywood, highly specialized jones, make it all possible. how are jones changing the film industry? that a more to day on shift? ah

for propellers, a compact size, agility combined with a higher solution camera. jones have become part of our everyday life. they were originally developed for military research, including by british actor and engineer reginald denny. from 1935 onwards. he builds remote controlled aircraft, used by the u. s. for air defense exercises. these days though, there are many ways in which we use draws for more peaceful purposes, for tracking down missing persons or pets, for instance, or for impressive light shows in the night sky. or for those epic shots we keep seeing and movies. the next big trend has a lot to do with speed. ah, 1st person view drones are revolutionizing filmmaking. will be at these full throttle tracking shots alongside sports, cars, or exciting new angles of the berlin palace. or delicate aerial maneuvers through

a bowling alley. first person view or f p v cameras allow the pilot to take on the drones perspective is within the one place that it's a little bit like playing, playstation or other game consoles of money. we control the drone and see exactly what the drone is saying. we'll see that one all c s p v drone pilots, like eulley and sputter it, use video goggles with receive a live signal from the drones camera. these lightweight drones have powerful motors and can reach speeds of more than 150 kilometers per hour. the way the drone can twist and turn sideways, an upside down allows for a very unique cinematic style that you can't get with a normal drone. gordon's and a modern ones are controlled manually in london. you can try more risky maneuvers affect even human. these perspectives are new under ones we haven't really seen

before. so long a movement, forgetfulness more cumbersome to be developed. that's not only produced at cinema level quality images, but we're also lightweight enough to be able to fly attached to s p v. drones before one off moving these new perspectives are now transforming cinema. the netflix film red notice was the 1st hollywood blockbuster to make full use of f. p v. drone footage ah the glacier. so classes compared to a classic drone and f p v drone gives videographers far more freedom. aha this morning with an f p v. drone, you can do nose dives, default all of the plasma possible with regular drones office, jupiter sensors and control mechanism sick on dashed oil, which assist the pilots in many ways. but don't allow for steve. dive slight in dust on ultimate alone allowed multiple strokes of u. f. p. v. drones can perform highly delicate maneuvers, allowing them to execute indoor shots to originally 1st person the

a jones were developed for sports. they've been used and drone raising for many years. there's now an entire industry behind these races with big sponsors and 5 figure prize money on youtube and other video platforms f. p. v eclipse get hundreds of thousands of use. the top john pilots like alex vanover from the u. s. or reset it. so from italy anal stars outside the scene, to feeder peloton the middle of many successful pilots in the cinema world. and originally came from the racing world. thank you because that's where they could train and develop their skills fees. cochran, your mental status. a big part of l, like as far as a certain stress and pressure to perform when you're racing on a fossil by an attrition, give us the hon on that experience. it could be very helpful on a film set us as an am vincent to resolve. and thanks jeff newman, i would good walk at p. v. drones are also increasingly used by hobby drone pilot.

most drone manufacturers offer models that will lend that f p v. feeling to your vacation chart at speeds of up to 100 and kilometers per hour. they're not as fast as traditional racing drones, but they still allow for exciting and daring maneuvers. beginners can 1st practices safe mode and if things start getting too risky, there's an emergency stop button. if you're now day dreaming of taking a few after the drone shots at the next garden party. well, you could basically get started right away. the trend has already reached the market for every day. consumers. here are a few tips on how to begin with julian sputter has been flying 1st person view drones for more than 6 years. he's competed in various races including the german championships. since 2020, he's been earning a living through his camera work and i'm with him. when are, if you're interested in picking up this wonderful hobby,

you should connect on social media with people who are already doing it for man. well, ye, many there will have the necessary experience to help guide the way. the next step is usually trying an f p. v. simulator also allows you to have a risk free go. it's all the see this hobby as a good fit other. you'll get a feel for the controls and this type of flying. but once you've got down the basic side, you can try it out in real life. but if you want to go beyond merely taking, if you vacation photos, or if you want to delve into the world of drone racing, you'll need some technical know how that mystic those anklets. those important thing is to have a drone that flies well. but that'll save you a lot of time from needing to make corrections later, like stabilizing and so on. anguished at the owner. a well configured drone is really key to producing beautiful, smooth shots for support. but whether you're a hobby pilot or a professional, there are a few rules. every one has to follow when flying drones with guns, oak mindless. generally, it's always a good idea to maintain

a certain distance from other people, houses, or to research beforehand. we're flying drones is allowed, and where it's forbidden, it was. thank you, but course the universal rulers don't go near airports. okay. that's the most and port. nothing except on final hand that's dangerous. and on the other one that generates bad press, that is detrimental for the scene at large for everyone who loves this hobby. i've, as a pilots, you get annoyed when you see that someone went to close to an airport, but they're drone again. one of our that's really frustrating for govern florist as, as apple's apparel. like in most countries, john pallets typically need permits to find germany. and roles are prohibited in the vicinity of military compounds, government buildings, and larger research institutions. the rise tag building and berlin has a jo, no fly zone with a radius of more than 5 kilometers unless you get a special permit. but if you think that sounds drake, just listen to this in morocco, algeria, cuba and belize, flying a drone is forbidden, entirely,

even possessing one could get you arrested. and some of those countries that many jones don't even need a person at the controls anymore. it's a trend worth keeping an eye on in the future. drones that can fly a ton of mosley will be assigned more and more tasks like delivering medication or searching for missing persons in a forest. these types of drones are made possible by intelligent algorithms that process data from the camera integrated position sensors and gps. the drones a i condemned determine which objects to avoid while in beer similar to human drone pilots, the i trains 1st and simulator such as the one microsoft developed in order to get the most realistic results. objects are hyper, realistically simulated on edge servers. air pressure, weather, conditions, and time of day are all taken into account. all of this is necessary for the drone

to be able to transfer this experience to the real world. on its virtual test flights, the eye is constantly learning, including on what happens after a crush. developers are constantly adding new features to drones. take out this solar powered drone, therefor, it's gone for more than 40 days nonstop on a test flight. in the future it could even replace satellites or personally and really intrigued by these drones here. smaller than an and they're essentially flying microchips. they're supposed to be especially good at monitoring, changes in the environment. and jones can do much, much more positano in south western italy, the joan manufacturer, pirates came up with an automated solution to make a 3 d map of this picturesque place. positano was actually an eagle's nest on the

side of a cliff. it's organized on several hills with conventional methods, it would have taken months or even years to capture the entire site. with anna f, e i, it took only 3 days. the drone takes photos of the area with a fully automatic high resolution camera avoiding obstacles in its way. a software then uses the photos to create a 3 d model. these drones from a research lab at the university of pennsylvania, where a katana mosley. each drone has a magnetic metal frame. the task is to autonomously connect to each other in the air. ideally without crushing. each drone has its own individual artificial intelligence. after numerous attempts, the drones have learned to adapt to each other so that they hover steadily in various configurations. just imagine in the future, these drones could connect to form flying stages at concerts, or be used the super mobile bridges in disaster areas. this drone is being

developed in the lab to the so called snag has bird like claws, which it uses to london. grab different objects, just like a bird. e, legs and feet were inspired by paragraph falcons, just like birds that has a 2 legs that can move independently. also just like birds, this robot has a rigid like structure and foot structure that's acting like the bones. it has motors which act like muscles and transmits, forces 3 tendons. when lending the drones clause gripped the brunch, a special algorithm helps the drone maintain its balance. for greater challenge is the range of brunch types. the drones integrated a i was trained in test flights in a forest in the north western united states. you can now land and all sorts of different branches, regardless if they're thick or thin,

dry or wet. most ariel robots, especially robots that rely on rotors to keep themselves hovering in the air, can only fly for about half an hour. and so the ability of this robot to purch and safe power enables it to study the environment over much longer time periods. exciting prospects and the market for drones has grown significantly. in 2021. it was worth more than 25000000000 euros worldwide. what's your take on drones? have you ever flown one? do you think they're a useful tool or an unnecessary gadget? let us know what you think you can write as an email or drop us a comment on our youtube channel by and see you next time, ah

and blue conflicts. so with sarah kelly, my guess this week on conflict zone is a renown foreign policy expert who has spent most of her career analyzing vladimir putin, russia. fiona hill joined me from washington, where she has advised free us presidents and co author to book on. where does she think the was heading? was this group plan all along or had decades in power changed hands? conflict zone. good day w a. some are prepared to evacuate to safety. others just let the situation unfold. but are some of them bringing these disasters on themselves?

nature's survivors? the adaptability of wildlife. in 30 minutes on d. w. with secrets lie behind these walls, discovered new adventures in 360 degrees. and explore fascinating world heritage sites with d. w world heritage 360. get out now. my gosh, this week on compact zone is a renowned foreign policy expert who has spent most of her career analyzing vladimir pollutants rush up. fiona hill joins me from washington where she has advised for us presidents and co author to book on pu, her testimony. and the 1st trump impeachment trial made her a household name to blow bare she.
