The Anduril Anvil is a "battering-ram drone system" that is tailor made to knock other drones out of the sky.
Researchers at Stanford University want to give your drone superpowers. Okay maybe not superpowers, but they have developed a drone that can land on walls and ceilings, clinging there like a robotic insect.
