About the Webinar

Skydio drones use six 4K cameras to build a 3D map of their surroundings, deep learning algorithms to understand what they’re seeing, and advanced AI to predict into the future and make intelligent decisions.  The result is best-in-class obstacle avoidance, ease of use, and the ability to fly in areas previously inaccessible with other drone systems.

Skydio 3D Autonomous Scanning & Modeling:  Skydio 3D Scan™ is a first-of-its-kind adaptive scanning software to automate the data capture process needed to generate 3D models with comprehensive coverage and ultra-high resolution. Perform higher quality inspections faster with minimal pilot training.
