Autonomous drone with 13 cameras, flying in the most difficult conditions

New oriented in space with the help of volume maps, created a 256-core graphics and neural network.

The autopilot and the system following the object of shooting is available in many quadrocopter, but they are only in open spaces normally work. Dron Skydio R1 through advanced obstacle avoidance system is able to fly at high speed even in a thick forest.

Professional quadrocopter has AI computing platform built on the chip Jetson TX 1 from Nvidia with 256-core video processor, which is used in cars with autopilot.

It processes the information from 12 cameras located on all surfaces of the drone, and builds a three-dimensional map for land navigation. A special algorithm and neural network allow Skydio R1 to recognize the object, to follow him in a variety of modes, and even guess its path of movement for the next four seconds.

Home drone video camera shoots in 4K resolution capture angle of 150 degrees, and the rollers are written to the internal storage capacity of 64 GB. Is controlled from your smartphone. There are four shooting modes provided: behind the object, front, side and orbit. Skydio R1 speeds up to 40 km / h, and the battery charge is enough for 16 minutes. Included are two of them, and they are easy to change.

The only disadvantage of the drone - its high price. Basic set with drones, spare screws and charging two batteries can be ordered from the official website for 2500 dollars.
