4G robotic UAV drone Parrot ANAFI Ai – quadcopter with 48MP cam

The Parrot ANAFI Ai drone is the 1st and only off-the-shelf robotic UAV-[unmanned aerial vehicle], to work with 4G cellular technology. This supplies the drone a constant connection to the internet and enables you with assurance manage it from an unlimited distance. With a waiver from the FAA, pilots can remotely run the drone beyond line of eyesight from a secure location – making the ANAFI Ai perfect for urgent response or otherwise problematic or dangerous inspections.

The included Skycontroller 4 remote controller automatically changes between built-in dual-band Wi-Fi® and 4G. This function saves data files when you have a powerful Wi-Fi signal and maintains your connection stable if that signal begins to drop.

Autonomous photogrammetry
The ANAFI Ai’s embedded artificial intelligence helps it to complete automated photogrammetry flight tasks with just a simply click – capturing precise models of terrain and physical objects with photo taking data. These photos are collected together to produce geometric representations of objects and surfaces in the surveyed area for remarkably accurate 2D or 3D reconstructions.

The Parrot ANAFI Ai drone’s highly effective 48-megapixel camera guarantees these models are centimeter-level precise, making it an excellent option for aerial mapping and surveying. The ANAFI Ai can be used in a wide range of programs, from city-planning and natural resource management to real-time disaster site modeling.

Flight controls
The Skycontroller 4 has a built/in dock that accepts Apple® or Android™ tablets and smartphones up to 8 inches. You could manually pilot the drone, or you can use pre-programmed flight plans like POI (points of interest) or waypoints. It can work indoors without the need of GPS, so you can fly the drone directly out of a window, then back inside easily. Flying the drone is simple for new operators however , gives extra flexibility for more experienced pilots.

The drones stereoscopic cameras move independently of the primary camera for omni-directional barrier detection. The Parrot ANAFI Ai drone automatically changes its flight route to navigate around and stay away from obstacles.

Durable and highly effective
The slick-looking Parrot ANAFI Ai drone is made to work in a wide variety of conditions. It can operate in serious cold and heat, from 14° to 104°F. It can also resist winds up to 31.3 miles per hour, and it’s IP53-certified against dust and rain.

This Parrot ANAFI Ai drone is light-weight, and its wings fold to make it simply portable. You can launch it from the palm of your hand in just under a minute. Once it’s in the sky, the drone flies quick, up to 38 miles per hour, and stays air-borne for up to 32 mins.

Open-source SDK
Parrot has been offering open-source SDKs (software development kits) since THE YEAR OF 2010, opening their software up to the drone community. The ANAFI Ai and the most recent version of the FreeFlight application are both open-source, allowing developers to improve custom apps, flight plans, and much more. Code can be run straightaway on the drone, providing developers accessibility to flight, sensors, connectivity – correctly all of the functions of the drone. Photo: Parrot

High-end security
The ANAFI Ai’s protection standards are top notch. The FreeFlight 7 application uses powerful authentication for its 4G combining to make sure that your data is stored secure. Users can opt in to store their info anonymously in Parrot’s secure servers in Europe. You can use virtually any smartphone to connect with Parrot’s secured infrastructure without a separate subscription. If you have got a nano SIM card that can send data, you’re good to go.

Parrot has as well partnered with YesWeHack, a crowd-sourced security and safety platform powered by a huge community of cyber-security professionals. The partnership’s bug bounty program helps recognize and correct potential vulnerabilities in their drones, online services, and applications. Parrot ANAFI Ai drone price: $4,000.00
