Top 5 autonomous drone solutions

As autonomous being the trend of drones, manufacturers are rising like mushrooms after rain, I have done some digging and made some comparisons. There is no champion here, just a list of some of their performance.

 

Airobotics  

https://www.airoboticsdrones.com/

In the package: Drone+ Drone charging station+ Software

Charging type: Automated charging

Landing accuracy: 5cm

Airobotics is the first autonomous drone company that has received FAA approval back in 2016, they prove a completely autonomous drone solution for flight data collection with their robust drone charging station, drone, and software. The autonomous drone system includes a robotic arm to change battery and payloads automatically.



 

Percepto

https://percepto.co/

In the package: Drone+ Drone charging station+ Software

Charging type: Automated charging

Payload: 24MP RGB and radiometric thermal camera

The autonomous drone system that Percepto has provided also has gained the approval of the FAA, the unique part about them is they use 24MP RGB and radiometric thermal camera as payload, which makes the night flight mission easier.


 

Dronehub

https://dronehub.ai/

In the package: Drone+ Drone charging station+ Software

Charging type: Battery exchange

Flight time: 45 minutes

Battery exchange being applied on a drone is still new, Dronehub is one of the leaders to bring them ready to use. Intelligent battery management, weather station, and theft-resistant system are also covered in their autonomous drone solutions, 



 

Easy aerial

https://www.easyaerial.com/sams/

In the package: Drone+ Drone charging station+ Software

Charging type: Automated charging

Flight time: 45 minutes

The Easy aerial provides two different drone systems, tethered and untethered, military-grade is one of their characteristics, they are certified by ISO9001 and AS9100. The operation range their autonomous drone provides is up to 20km.

 


Heisha tech

https://www.heishatech.com/

In the package: Drone charging station

Charging type: Automated charging

Charging time: 45 minutes (DJI Mavic2)

Landing accuracy: 3cm

The autonomous drone solution that Heisha tech offers is likely the cheapest one as only drone charging stations are included, but it is more flexible as drone batteries from 2S to 12S are all compatible. Weather station, intelligent battery management, theft-resistant system, and air conditioning system are all included.

Top 10 autonomous drone charging and docking stations

Auto mated drone docks are entering into unprecedented competition before the final release of the DJI dock. All these drone docking and charging stations share the same major features including automatic takeoff for carrying out BVOL flight missions, then automated landing and charging the drone for a new round of flight missions.   Some drone charging dock companies has its self-developed drone with a variety of flight times and payload capacities, such as the Sunflower labs, Skydio, Percepto, Easy Aerial, and Dronehub. Some drone dock providers only offer the hardware part, like HEISHA Tech, Skycharge, Hextronics, IDRONEIMAGES, and HIVE Droneport. Not all of these autonomous drone charging dock manufacturers are using the drone battery charging solution, some are taking the battery swapping technology, including Hextronics, Dronehub, and Hive Droneport. Here is the list:   1.  Percepto (2014, USA & Israel, <  2 00 employees) The autonomous Inspection ...

Top 5 automated security drone systems

Security drone systems are rising in speed much faster than before as the requirement for autonomous solutions grows. In some regions, the covid-19 is shaking the stability of people’s daily life, and riots and violence are increasing. Which is boosting the demand for security drone systems.    What matters most to a security drone system? Many companies are endeavoring the progress of autonomous drone systems, but the harsh reality is it may still take a while before a fully autonomous drone system is complete like the unmanned car, there is a giant step exists between 99% and 100% in this case.  No matter how autonomous a drone can make, controlling the flight mission relies on software, which requires humans to trigger it and review the received data.    A. Long time on duty (night vision)  B. Long-range covered C. Quick automated recharge of the drone   1. Sunflower labs (2016, USA & Switzerland, < 50 employees)   Sunflower Labs is one...

Skycharge VS HEISHA drone charging pad

There are several drone charging companies arise in recent years, Skycharge is one of the few that stands for over seven years, while HEISHA is a newcomer, let's make some comparisons between them.   The most obvious part is the drone centering process that the HEISHA drone charging pad requires while Skycharge ' s doesn ' t as dozens of conductors are spread on the Skycharge drone charging pad, and HEISHA ' s only has a few conductors in each side of the landing gears, maybe that ' s one of the reasons make HEISHA drone charging pad cheaper than the Skycharge ' s.
