Parrot Claims It To Be The first 4G Connected Robotic UAV
Parrot has unveiled the ANAFI Ai. ANAFI Ai reportedly the first drone to use 4G as the main data link between the drone and the operator. Users may no longer experience transmission limitations thanks to this level of connectivity. For Beyond Visual Line of Sight flights, it is reported to stay connected even behind obstacles.
ANAFI Ai embeds a Secure Element in the drone and in its Skycontroller 4. The 4G link between the drone and the user’s phone is encrypted. The Secure Element protects both the integrity of the software and the privacy of data transferred.
Parrot's partner ecosystem delivers specialized applications and services for a variety of professional uses. Parrot states that it is the first in the industry to make its piloting application open-source. Parrot offers developers a Software Development Kit (SDK) to execute custom code in the ANAFI Ai drone during the flight. The SDK gives access to all flight sensors, including obstacle avoidance sensors, occupancy grid and internet access.
ANAFI Ai’s obstacle-avoidance (OA) system detects obstacles in all directions, using stereo cameras to sense objects and automatically avoid them.
ANAFI Ai incorporates a 48 MP main camera and boasts a stabilized 4K 60fps / HDR10 camera to capture detailed aerial images and video footage.
Advanced artificial intelligence, autonomous flights, excellent imaging, photogrammetry accuracy and reliable 4G connectivity could put powerful new tools in the hands of UAV professionals.
ANAFI Ai will be available in the second half of 2021.
