Within reach: Drexel engineers to add arms and hands to unmanned aerial vehicles

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), such as those used by the military for surveillance and reconnaissance, could be getting a hand – and an arm – from engineers at Drexel University as part of a National Science Foundation grant to investigate adding dexterous limbs to the aircrafts.
