Introduction
Skydio R1 Self-Flying 4K Camera Smart Drone is the best drone as for all most top drones. 13 cameras involved in the device. 12 designed for orientation and control of obstacles, and a 4K camera for shooting a flight. As soon as you give the command, the copter will fly into the air and will follow you, avoiding the obstacle.
Skydio Autonomy Engine
Skydio autonomy engine Skydio R1 avoids obstacles to a whole new level. To create a 3D map of the surrounding world, which includes trees, people, buildings, and much more, R1 uses 12 cameras built into the frame of the drone. For real-time online processing of incoming visual information, the top-end full-featured computing platform for artificial intelligence – Nvidia Jetson TX1 created on a 256-core graphics processor, which used in modern cars with autopilot.
Features
Skydio R1 developers confidently declare that they created a drone with a perfect autopilot system. Orientation in space based on 12 cameras, eight located around the perimeter of the frame, the remaining four directed up and down. For safe flight and capturing stunning video, all possible information gathered. Skydio R1 received a 4K camera (4K at 30 frames/s; 1080p at 30.60 frames/s; FOV 150°) suspended on a 2-axis mechanical suspension.
The analysis of data collected from all cameras carried out using the NVIDIA chip – Jetson TX 1 with 4 core processor and 256-core video processor, which allows you to process data at a speed of 1400 MP/s. Its three-dimensional understanding of the world (the quadrocopter creates a three-dimensional map of the surrounding objects using combined camera shots) of the ability to maneuver, subject movement, and user commands.
Control & Functionality
Complete with a drone, there is no control panel; it is carried out using a smartphone via WI-FI. When it starts the flight, it is enough to choose yourself or a friend as the object to follow. In addition, you can set a certain angle of movement or switch to manual control. Regardless of your speed and direction of motion, terrain – the drone will accompany you, flying around obstacles. On the rollers below, the company demonstrated speed capabilities and orientation in the forest and the open.
All controls for Skydio R1 Self-Flying 4K Camera Smart Drone carried out using the Skydio mobile application, which controls the launch and landing of the drone. Also, in this application, users can view a video preview of the footage and control how the drone captures the footage with the existing presets. The most interesting of the available functions is the “orbit,” which allows you to take 360-degree panoramic shots, and the “lead” function, which enables the drone to follow the object and also shoot it in the frontal direction. The application also can enable manual flight mode. Still, at the same time, all the autonomous UAV safety functions are always active, so the UAV cannot fly into people, trees, or other obstacles. The management of R1 is quite simple.
