In recent weeks, residents along the eastern coast of the United States have reported drone sightings over residential neighborhoods, restricted areas, and critical infrastructure. These mysterious drones have sparked a storm of speculation, become the number one topic of discussion on social media, and driven East Coast residents to the brink of hysteria.

The Greek armed forces are steadily integrating advanced unmanned systems, including loitering munitions, surveillance and strike UAVs, drones for intelligence gathering, target tracking, and firing-data provision, as well as surface and underwater drones.

Baibars Mechatronics Aviation, specializing in developing and supporting civilian rotary-wing drones, will begin production in the United States with financial backing from Japan.

Romania is considering the potential to shoot down unauthorized aircraft infringing upon its airspace, as indicated by a draft law published by the Romanian Defense Ministry on October 28.

When you think of what a voice programmed by artificial intelligence would sound like, you might picture something robotic and stilted, with a staccato cadence incapable of capturing the inflections, speed and emotion required to sound even somewhat human. But this is 2024, and the robots have gotten a serious upgrade.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was given a tour of the FIRST Global Challenge student robotics competition in southern Athens on Saturday.

Athens hosted the prestigious event between Thursday and Sunday, gathering students from over 190 countries. The event aims to inspire and promote engagement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) among young innovators.

A driverless car designed by three students from the Model Gymnasium of Anavryta in Maroussi, northern Athens, won the Race Car Challenge international competition, organized at MIT by the Beaver Works Summer Institute (BWSI) in Boston.
