The Ministry of Defence has unveiled a drone armed with twin stabilised shotguns that uses AI to identify its targets. The drone has six rotor blades and is attached with a camera to provide a live-stream of indoor conflicts to a remote solider, who fires the device's weapons. A first prototype of the metre-long machine, which is designed only for indoor combat, has been called the i9. MoD has developed the flying 'armed fighter' with an undisclosed British company to deploy specifically in urban situations, such as buildings barricaded by armed personnel. The drone is bolstered by two shotguns, AI detection and a camera that streams the action to a remote solider RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next Defence Secretary Ben Wallace signals drones could replace...

Olympic star Callum Skinner creates cycling glasses that allow riders to see behind them
An Olympic gold medallist has created specialist glasses that give cyclists eyes at the back of their heads. Callum Skinner, 28, who won gold and silver at the 2016 Olympics, developed the technology with physicist Alex Macdonald after raising more than £100,000 through a Kickstarter campaign. The sunglasses allow cyclists to see forwards and backwards by shifting focus rather than having to turn their heads. They use two-part angled lenses with semi-transparent mirrors and will cost £199.99. The Edinburgh-based inventors hope their glasses will make amateur cycling safer and give other athletes including runners and rowers an advantage.

"I'm also struck by the potential of HindSight glasses to help professional cyclists reach their peak performance.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West ‘have different visions of the world and on raising kids’

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 40, pulled the plug on their union last week when she filed for divorce from the rapper . Though it's said to be an amicable divorce, it seems as though there's more than meets the eye as a source close to the estranged couple says the pair had opposing views on how they wanted to raise their children. The pair share four children together; daughter North, seven, son Saint, five, daughter Chicago, two, and one-year-old son Psalm. And when it came down to their core beliefs and values, it seems as though things just didn't match up. "They have a different vision of the world and how their kids should be raised," the insider told People . "Kim will always support Kanye and his causes and encourage him with their kids, but her future with work, family and life in general are strictly up to her. She makes it happen." "Kim will continue … [Read more...] about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West ‘have different visions of the world and on raising kids’
Woman, 25, who risked BLINDNESS to get her eyeballs tattooed purple insists she ‘loves’ the eerie inking – despite facing horror from strangers who tell her she is going to HELL because of it
A woman who risked blindness to have her eyeballs tattooed purple has spoken out to defend the eerie inking - despite admitting that she has been refused service in restaurants as a result of it, and has been told by strangers that she is 'going to hell'. Exotic dancer and model Devon O'Kelly, 25, from San Diego, had her eyeballs tattooed in 2018, despite being warned that the procedure could cause a number of health issues, from headaches and blurred vision to total blindness. But Devon, who fell in love with tattoos and piercings when she was just 11 years old and now has 23 tattoos, says the inking is among her favorites - and insists that society needs to 'destigmatize' body art.
