		<description><![CDATA[Its been a long time coming but heres a great sUAS story recently some were used as fairies in a A Midsummer Night&#8217;s Dream at Texas A&#38;M University Amy Hopper, the play&#8217;s director, cast one autonomous, military-grade flying robot and five smaller remote control devices as fairies in Shakespeare&#8217;s comedy. &#8220;To see them flying, spinning and bouncing through the air just adds to the magic and mystery of the world Shakespeare created,&#8221; she explained. But the drama department isn&#8217;t the only one interested in the robotic thespians. Researchers in the school&#8217;s Department of Computer Science and Engineering are studying how the audience reacts to the robots for application in robotic search-and-rescue missions. &#8220;It&#8217;s now possible for these unmanned aerial vehicles to be used for evacuation or crowd control,&#8221; explained Robin Murphy, one of the researchers. &#8220;But what&#8217;s missing is an understanding of what makes a person trust or fear the robot.&#8221; Murphy and others in the department are now poring over the data they collected during the play&#8217;s run which ended earlier this week.
