Flyability Elios 3: The Ultimate Indoor Drone

Hey, Crew!
Obviously, this video has been significantly delayed in its release. You have my apology for that, but I have been busy with several other projects - some of which must remain shrouded in mystery for the moment. However, here is one of them: a.co/d/aQnTS13, a coloring book for children entitled “DRONES: HOW THEY FLY” featuring Raven and Little Bird. Check it out! Now, on with the show!
In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew speak with Zacc Dukowitz, senior communications manager at Flyability about the company’s Elios 3 confined-space inspection drone. Unlike virtually every other commercial drone in service today, the Elios 3 does not incorporate either a GPS receiver or a compass, but navigates in GPS denied environments using Simultaneously Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology. In addition to visible light and thermal cameras, the Elios 3 incorporates a LiDAR sensor, enabling it to create precise maps of tunnels, caves, utility vaults and other dangerous, confined-space environments.

Live 3d mapping..... thats like discovering a new area in a video game. That is crazy cool.

[@Roswellflighttestcrew1947]

That's a great analogy, and not one I'd personally considered or heard mentioned before. It's a great point -- and I agree it's definitely cool!
