DJI Agriculture has led the way worldwide in drones used for farming. Their newest drones, the DJI Agras T10 & DJI Agras T30 are about to change the way America farms. Here is a link to our longer discussion about the T10 & T30 with Aerial Influence owners, Michael Ferguson and David Plummer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTuV6O0-0Yc&t=30s To download our Agricultural Road Map, click here: https://aerialinfluence.com/agriculture For more information, reach out to us at: (312) 278-7232 or contact@aerialinfluence.com @DJIAgriculture @DJI

Tower inspections and analysis are complex, requiring coordination and hand-offs between dozens of stakeholders across multiple companies. And while drones and Mixed Reality have been hyped to streamline this process, immersive experiences are only as good as their underlying 3D digital model. Until now, drone data has failed to deliver a level of detail that rivals onsite visits. Watch this webinar to discover how a new class of millimeter-accurate 3D digital models inside Microsoft HoloLens unlock previously unexplored workflows.

Skydio X2, available now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DsJLigMrS0&ab_channel=SkydioSkydio Skydio X2™ is a new family of products that pairs breakthrough autonomy software with a ruggedized airframe including folding arms for easy “pack and go” transportation, a thermal camera, and up to 35 minutes of flight time. X2 is equipped with six 4k navigation cameras for 360-degree obstacle avoidance and a dual sensor payload that includes 12MP color and 320x256 LWIR sensors. Designed, assembled, and supported in the USA, the X2 turns anyone into an expert pilot. Like Skydio 2, X2 drones include the Skydio Autonomy Core, Skydio’s world-leading flight AI engine. Out-of-the-box, X2 users will benefit from autonomous navigation with 360-degree, real-time obstacle avoidance, object detection and motion prediction. X2 pairs with the new enterprise-grade Skydio Enterprise Controller with a built-in touch screen, glove-compatible controls, and a new wireless system to extend range up to 6.2 kilometers. The X2 products will be available in Q4 2020 Read more here: https://medium.com/skydio/skydio-introduces-the-new-x2-family-of-drones-and-breakthrough-autonomy-software-for-situational-499ed1ad6c11 “We have been testing Skydio drones extensively for Search and Rescue missions. Skydio’s autonomy capabilities allowed us to perform better operations, more efficiently. Their trustworthy obstacle avoidance makes it possible for us to do flights at low-altitude and in complex urban environments that we would otherwise not be able to perform. The ease of flight that Skydio drones provide lets us on-board new pilots faster. We are excited to hear about Skydio’s plans with X2 and look forward to adding it to our fleet.” Austin Worcester, Senior Program Manager, Small Unmanned Aerial Systems at Civil Air Patrol About Skydio Skydio is the leading U.S. drone manufacturer and world leader in autonomous flight technology.

Skydio 3D Scan is available now: https://youtu.be/rzOrle_Dq_E Introducing Skydio 3D Scan. The first of its kind general-purpose digital scan software for inspections of complex industrial structures and locations, such as bridges, building facades, and energy infrastructure, crash and crime scenes. 3D Scan is powered by a new real-time visual 3D reconstruction layer built on top of Skydio Autonomy Enterprise Foundation. Unlike inspection conducted with manual drones, Skydio 3D Scan enables a fully automated, structure-agnostic process that does not require any prior knowledge of the inspected structure and can operate in GPS-denied environments or without internet connection. Operators can specify the area to inspect, pick a desired distance, and the AI-powered Skydio 3D Scan does the rest, autonomously imaging all surfaces to complete precision by dynamically building a real-time map as the drone flies. A 3D model of the inspected structure will be immediately available on the drone saving time for the end user who doesn’t need to upload images to a separate application and wait. In contrast to the scripted flights that manual drones can do with products like Pix4Dcapture and DroneDeploy, 3D Scan offers: - Full ongoing obstacle avoidance - The ability to operate without GPS - Ability to fly down around a structure to capture even data, not just in a plane overhead The result is a truly different class of 3D modeling data, captured fully autonomously and safely from any structure. Nothing on Earth flies like a Skydio.
