Introduction
Today, unmanned aerial vehicles are commonplace. But this drone in question is capable of landing on a surface the size of a small toolbox, without any human intervention. The drone shown in the video and the landing box (base) is the result of the painstaking work of Airobotics specialists from Tel Aviv. Previously, Airobotics was engaged in the creation of UAVs with an emphasis on photography and video filming, but soon the digging revised its views and started to develop fully autonomous unmanned systems for commercial use
About the product
Airobotics have developed a patented system in which the drone closely interacts with the so-called base. The system is completely autonomous, the drone is able to take off and fly for 30 minutes, then return and land on the prepared launch pad, which will then lower the drone inside the base.
If a flight is scheduled for the drone's flight plan, the system will automatically change the consumed battery to a charged one, and again will return the launch pad with the drone to its original position. The base is completely protected from the effects of various types of precipitation and ensures 100% safety of the UAV and the system as a whole.
Application
The main application of the system is autonomous patrolling, survey, inspection, etc. Co-founder Ran Krauss, responded, "What sets us apart from others is that we offer the only workable solution that fully automates the entire process from start to finish."
The system has already found applications in more than 13 large companies such as Israel Chemicals, which uses the system to quantify phosphate reserves, thereby eliminating the need for geological exploration from the ground. Another company uses a system to monitor chemical leaks in tanks and pipes.
Ran Krauss predicts: “That, 'drones in a box' will soon become a standard working tool in industries such as mining and agriculture. This year will be a defining one for drones. " [eleven] .
