2016-01-05
but what truly distinguishes this drone and all the other drones that are out there is the intel realsense module using an intel realsense camera and an intel cpu with the collision avoidance technology we've developed with ascending technologies this drone goes everywhere it goes in the woods it grows around trees it can navigate any obstacle this is the world's most advanced collision avoidance system in a consumer drone it's designed for real outdoor experiences it's light it's portable it goes in the backpack and it truly understands its environment but it's one thing to see a drone up on a pedestal that's easy it's another to see it in action what we've done again is built equivalent of an outdoor of GPS inside then we mocked up a short mountain bike trail I challenged our demo team to prove that the unique drone can follow a rider even when confronted obstacles like fake trees so what you see is the drone not being piloted by anybody but simply optically following the biker and now it's in the lead mode you'll see the drones actually in front of the biker avoiding the trees now as the biker gets around to the end of his course you'll see the drone automatically just Waits and flips and does into follow-me mode now a drone of that real sense would have no way to avoid these obstacles and to capture the image real time but this drone is different and it can react to obstacles real time so let's see what happens if we put out a real-time obstacle you see that drone was able to stop and wait and go around that obstacle as well following the rider all the time any other commercial drone out there would have crashed into a tree
