Drones have been used for decades for military surveillance, reconnaissance, and situational awareness, to name a few, but more recently they have been used for much more. As technology has evolved from large complex machines into compact equipment (think of the first computers versus laptops and tablets), the same has been the case with drones. As a result, these flying robots have become multi-functioning tools for everything from monitoring climate change and carrying out search and rescue missions to photography and video, among others.
Since its creation, Skydio has been leveraging breakthrough AI to create the world's most intelligent flying machines for use by consumers, enterprises, and government customers. Their mission is to make the world more productive, creative, and safe with autonomous drones, and they are certainly on the right path.
All Skydio drones come equipped with Skydio AutonomyTM, the world's most advanced AI-driven flight autonomy engine, making drone operations more straightforward, safer, and more cost-effective than ever. These drones use six 4K cameras to build a 3D map of their surroundings, deep learning algorithms to understand what they're seeing, and advanced AI to predict the future and make intelligent decisions.
These drones can play a valuable role in the inspection of critical infrastructure, helping reduce the need for expensive equipment or worker exposure while dramatically increasing data capture efficiency compared to manual drones.
Firefighters, law enforcement, and other public safety operators can gain tactical situational awareness on emergency response, search, rescue, or other missions. By using autonomous flight capabilities, they can focus on the task, thus increasing first responder safety.
Skydio also allows defense units to conduct organic unit-level missions to gain
situational awareness while reducing cognitive overload on the operators. Thanks to AI-pilot assistance, pilots can focus on the task instead of operating the drone.
The company has recently announced the launch of Skydio Dock and Skydio Dock Lite, powered by Skydio's new Remote Ops software, the smallest, lightest, and smartest cloud-connected base stations for drones available on the market today.
Skydio's latest Dock solutions now give customers complete remote and autonomous visibility into tasks like site inspection and monitoring, mapping, and situational awareness. In addition, with the Remote Ops software enhancing the drone's AI-powered autonomy, operators can effortlessly perform streamlined missions from anywhere in the world.
About Skydio
Skydio was founded in 2014 by a group of friends that met at MIT in 2009, where they helped pioneer autonomous drone technology. With leading experts in AI, robotics, cameras, and electric vehicles from top companies, research labs, and universities worldwide, Skydio is quickly becoming the industry frontrunner in drones, AI, and computer vision. In addition, all Skydio products are manufactured entirely in the U.S. to offer the highest supply chain standards and manufacturing security.
Named one of the world's most innovative companies by Fast Company in 2021, Skydio continues to make strides in developing a more productive, creative, and safe world with its drone technology.
