Quartz.com (June 3) -- Scientists at Illinois are working on a fully autonomous bat-like drone to supervise construction sites. According to the University’s website, the drones would be used to make sure the project is proceeding as it’s supposed to. “The bats would fly around, pay attention, and compare the building information model to the actual building that’s being constructed.” Also: Nextgov.com (June 3), Entrepreneur (June 4), UPI (June 4), Big News Network.com (from UPI), Chicago Inno (June 9), Quartz (New York, June 12).
