The future of drones is autonomous | André Becker | TEDxFrankfurt

Imagine if you would have six eyes instead of two, placed around your head - you could see everything around you. When people think about the future, almost everyone imagines it to be with flying cars & drones deliveries.
André will talk about the future of drones and how an AI powered drone with omnidirectional perception will save lives and make jobs more efficient. With more than 10 years of international work experience, André played an invaluable part in the evolution of consumer and enterprise drones leading the European product management for DJI, the world’s leader in civil drones and aerial imaging technology. He has been a keynote speaker for global product launches, WebSummit, MeConvention and a driving force building up partnerships with Amazon Prime, the FIA World Rally Championship, Peugeot and many more. Today, he is pushing the boundaries of drone capabilities to an unseen level by implementing the autonomous drone technology in Europe with Skydio, the leading U.S. drone manufacturer and world leader in autonomous flight. He’s proud to be democratising the skies and spreading autonomous drone technology to make jobs easier, safer, and even help search and rescue and public safety sectors save lives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thanks for sharing such valuable information that is very useful, and without a doubt will become a standard future daily use, in countless areas.

[@milnueve95]

Amazing technology hope it can be developed in many fields!

[@jcmaestre1]

very useful for bridges and other activities that require inspection and surveillance; interesting how a drone can process, take photos and model an object. Does this require an additional SW app? how much storage does this type of drones allow? if anyone knows please share

[@nirajpudasaini5755]

Legend

[@danielniffenegger7698]

What about privacy/legal surveillance vs illegal surveillance? What about sheer numbers causing noise and cluttering the skies?

[@ayushdubes]

Where can I buy this?

[@nilnul9295]

The drone looks like Skydio 2

[@mohamedfarid7499]

sound good drone use photogrammetry algorithm , SLAM , computer vision , Lidar and google 3d map already upload to flight control

[@PrakashSharma-jj1ju]

So according to u ..drone pilots will become absolete in future whn autonomous drones take over ..

[@nikkivieler3761]

I am concerned about autonomous drones could contribute to the crime of starvation...

[@krishp1104]

they won't

[@danielniffenegger7698]

I don’t understand? What do drones have to do with starvation?

[@HawaiiAerialProductions]

This guy has obviously never heard of dronelink.

[@kamerondonaldson5976]

no. the future of drones is to be treated akin to the future of prosthesis. you don't want your limbs to have a will of their own like the hand voldemort gave to wormtail. nor do you want your drones to have any autonomy whatsoever. the end of humans being in charge of everything that affects them is the end of humanity itself, despite the fact that humans are just as prone to errors as machinery is to malfunction.
