NEW YORK (FOX5NY) - Two European drone companies are
partnering to create the first autonomous indoor surveillance drone system.
Skysense has partnered with Avansig, to autonomously
power the drone for Prosegur, a multinational security company.
Skysense says Prosegur’s surveillance drone can execute
its own patrol route in a building and land itself on Skysense’s charging pad
to recharge. The company says the
lightweight, fast-charging infrastructure eliminates the need for battery
removal or manual charging every time a drone battery runs out.
During surveillance patrols, the drone records and
streams real-time video, and sends alerts to the security central station when
potential security threats or breaches are discovered.
“We realized we needed a charging partner at the
beginning of the project because we want the drone to work completely
unattended,” said David Trillo, CEO of Avansig. “We were in contact with other
companies, but we chose Skysense because we felt that their solution was more
mature. It works, it’s reliable, and it’s simple. Also, the charging time is
short.”
