DJI, walksnail and other fpv streaming companies are now using digital FPV feed (<a href="https://www.dji.com/o3-air-unit" target="_blank">DJI O3</a>: scroll down there is a comparison between digital and analog). 2. Their VOXL2 mini which is their NUC replacement. 3. 

Computer-Vision assisted Position
Mode in GPS-denied Environments. This feature is basically only as good as the pilot is at flying, thus skill becomes the limiting factor. In the demo video provided on the website shows a rather shaky video which shows that whoever is flying it is not going to be good enough to do evasive maneuvers if confronted. (The backtrack feature is probably not very good either if the demo video is indicative of the performance)<div><br></div><div>We are different in that:</div><div>The drone flies autonomously without any direct control of the operator (no skills in fpv flying needed) and simultaneously avoids obstacles without operator intervention. We also use swarm intelligence which allows multiple drones to fly at once, complete specialized tasks and share information between each other to assist with navigation and data mapping. Also, adding video to the drone is really straightforward and simple. We can add head tracking to the cameras, so that when the drone is loitering or patroling you can move your head in real time to look around. We did this earlier this year already when prototyping the warehouse drones. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/heiiqux26nxn6j7n7knlo/IMG_4319.mov?rlkey=tmv824rxuc4u93k8wq7nx65to&amp;st=wn5s38i9&amp;dl=0" target="_blank">example head tracking</a></div><div><div> <br><div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Sorry if there is broken english or if sentences aren&#39;t structured properly, I just want to get this out to you fast.</div><div>With regards,</div><div>Elias Vanier</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 21, 2025 at 6:39 AM Rick Mislan , PhD &lt;<a href="mailto:rick@mislan.com" target="_blank">rick@mislan.com</a>&gt; wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
