This Soccer Ball-Sized Flying Robot Hovers Around Town to Do Your Bidding
This cute, safe, hovering robot that looks like a flying marshmallow is going to reinvent drone design, its creators say.
It's called Fleye, and it's the exact opposite of "classic" drones, according to the Belgian engineers behind the bot. There's no huge propeller, no clunky frame, and no heavy crashing into bleachers at sporting events. It's being billed as a personal, autonomous robot.

Rotterdam launches open LoRa network for Internet of Things
The network provides free access for IoT devices, to communicate with internet applications and each other. Since LoRa networks can operate over longer distances but only for slow data transfer rates, they are typically used by tiny, battery-operated systems. This allows you to build sensor networks based on low-power devices that periodically send small amounts of data. The network can be used to connect boats, cars, lamp posts, dumpsters, and road and traffic systems, for example, allowing these to send information (i.e. measurements) and receive commands.
[...]
According to Leon Gommans, a leading figure in the development of open data in both the city and the port of Rotterdam, and co-owner of PlaySpace and Teqplay, this is only the first phase. "The Kickstarter project for The Things Network will make access points based on open hardware available at a price of 200 euro. That's only one fifth of any currently available LoRaWAN gateway." The goal of 150,000 euro was met in less than ten days. One month after the start of the project, almost 300,000 was pledged by over 900 backers.
