Let's put Autonomous Drones to Work

Welcome to Pathfinder Series episode 9, where we discuss long-range autonomy and the potential it put it to work on real-world use cases. Enjoy!

Fixed wing drones have 10 times the range of traditional rotor drones, unlocking exciting use cases and business opportunities.

Vertical Take-Off and Landing, enables superior autonomy, additional use-cases and rapid reusability (drone in a box) of fixed wing drones.

Autonomy reduces operational costs with orders of magnitude, making services widely available to businesses and governments, while on-board machine vision enables completely new solutions to their challenging problems.

3D Printing with advanced filaments cuts production costs with orders of magnitude to enable nation--wide coverage with relatively small capital investment.

With Nomadium Robotics, I'm combining all 4 of those requirements to develop aerial robotics for a resilient future | www.nomadiumrobotics.com

Building your own UAV is an incredibly fulfilling and challenging experience, which I am hoping you will embark on.
