In court he added that he didn’t think Mrs Nowland would be “significantly injured” and that he was “devastated” by her death.

"We wanted to have an educated, well-informed discussion about how people feel about this as a society, or whether you're a police officer or private citizen," Hurley said.

Mitchell Starc takes his best Test figures of 6-48 as Australia dismiss India for 180 on day one of the second Test in Adelaide.

Prosecutors, however, said Mrs Nowland - who relied on a walker to get around and weighed under 48kg (105lb) - was not a danger and that the "impatient" officer had neglected his duty of care to her.

A police officer who Tasered a 95-year-old woman with dementia symptoms at an Australian care home has been found guilty of her manslaughter.

Chaotic Moon's legal department wouldn't let the demo run in an automated fashion, so every aspect of it was controlled by a person. The project was "over-engineered," including safety procedures that included a manual control override for the setting of the charge, Hurley said. The preparation time was about three weeks for a demo that lasted about 30 seconds.

Afterward, the project team hosted a celebratory lunch, and Sheehan said he didn't have any physical wounds expect for marks from the darts that stuck in him, which he described as "if you've ever given blood."

White warned Mrs Nowland his weapon was aimed at her, before saying "bugger it" and firing it, while she was still 1.5m-2m away. She fell and hit her head, triggering a fatal brain bleed.

Her death a week later caused public outcry, but White - a senior constable - argued at trial that his use of force was reasonable and proportionate to the threat.

“Who could she have injured at that moment? No one,” Crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield said, summing up his case for the jury last week.

Lamm said his team chose to build the stun-copter "because it was one of the more difficult executions" due to the taser blast "and it's one of the first conversations we need to have about rules and regulations."

Police and paramedics were called to Yallambee Lodge - in the town of Cooma about 114km (71 miles) south of Canberra – around 04:00 on the day of the incident, after Mrs Nowland had been seen roaming the care home with two serrated steak knives.

However in a written incident report, the officer - who had been stood down from duties while facing court - said he deployed his Taser because he felt a “violent confrontation was imminent”.

The next project, Hurley said, will be the "polar opposite" of the stun-copter project, but it will still involve a drone.

The State University Police departments are fully sworn police departments with the authority to investigate and enforce all laws and regulations.

The defence pointed to evidence from one of the paramedics and White’s police partner, who both said Mrs Nowland had made them feel scared for their safety.

March 10, 2014— -- The 26-year old intern who was tasered by a stun-gun equipped drone during the South By Southwest festival (SXSW) says he felt "pretty good" about being zapped by his employer.

"You could make something comparable for few thousand dollars," Hurley said. "It would be manual and not autonomous," he said, adding that anyone can potentially buy a phantom drone for $1,100 to $2,000 that doesn't have enough power to lift much. "This isn’t something of a military-industrial complex budget. These are hobbyist-level budgets."

To spark a discussion about the rapid growth of technology and the possible uses of it, Hurley said the company is spearheading a series of projects to draw attention to the both terrifying and amazing uses, which are outpacing a public response and regulation.

Sheehan said, "If you’ve ever had a muscle cramp, like your calf cramped up - it’s like that except it's your whole body and there's a vibrating sensation. It pulses. I wouldn’t describe it as painful – you’re immobile."

Mitchell Starc claims career-best Test figures of 6-48 as Australia seize the initiative on day one of the second Test against India.

In the moments before she was hit by the Taser, footage played to the jury showed the elderly woman using her walker to slowly shuffle forward - 1m (3.3ft) over the course of a minute - before stopping and raising the blade.

The trial in the New South Wales (NSW) Supreme Court heard that Mrs Nowland, while not formally diagnosed with dementia, had been displaying signs of cognitive decline in the months leading up to her death and had at times behaved aggressively towards healthcare workers.

"Demonstrations like these can seem unsettling, but they help us prepare for the future instead of react to it," said Chaotic Moon CEO Ben Lamm. "The technology is already here and seeing it in action like this pushes us to have the conversations we need to have about how to deploy drones responsibly."

When emergency services found Mrs Nowland, they repeatedly asked her to drop the knife in her right hand, and – using thick gloves – had tried to disarm her themselves, the court was told.

Sheehan and four others volunteered to be zapped by a Chaotic Unmanned Personal Intercept Drone or C.U.P.I.D. But Sheehan was selected as the best fit through a series of physical and medical tests, such as electrocardiographs, to make sure he had no abnormalities that would cause further risk.

Because military drones are a hot topic and SXSW is a large global event, Hurley said they decided to bring to life the "fantasy of some people and nightmares of others."

Kristian White, 34, used his weapon on Clare Nowland after the great-grandmother was found wandering with a small kitchen knife in the early hours of 17 May 2023.

The University of Texas, Austin student is studying computer science and happens to be very fit with a "Superman"-like physique, says William "Whurley" Hurley, chief innovation officer at Chaotic Moon.

He said White had used his weapon only three minutes after finding the woman: “He was fed up, impatient, not prepared to wait any longer.”

"I’ve never had that experience. I've had it in a calf or quad but never my whole body at once," Sheehan said, adding that the public's varied response has been "pretty thrilling."

At one point that night she had entered the room of another resident holding the knives, though he told the court he did not feel unsafe, and she had also later thrown one of the blades at a staff member.
