Drones can fly autonomously but you still need trained (expensive) operators to bring them into the field, swap and charge batteries, perform pre-flight checks and download the captured data

Tomorrow, after months of development, iterations and sleepless nights, the world first #Droneport will leave Italy to reach San Diego and the Qualcomm Robotics Accelerator.

Last month has been so intense that we couldn’t even send out a proper update, but it’s now official! The Skysense team relocated to San Diego, California, to participate in the premier Robotics Accelerator in the world: the Qualcomm Robotics Accelerator powered by Techstars: https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2015/05/28

We are in San Diego, CA from March 31st to April 5th, and thrilled to connect with the local drones community. Come and meet us! We are super excited to share our vision and insights on the future of automation for commercial VTOLs, and know more about you.

The market of drones is booming, with an increasing interest for commercial applications. Civil drones are being currently tested in several industries to automate and cut costs. Notable examples include land surveying, security, emergency response, inspections, and logistics. But this is only the beginning.
