Remembers Obstacles for Future Flights

After the Hive opens, the Bee takes off in under 5 seconds to respond to activity on any part of a 4-acre property in under 30 seconds. The Bee does the rest plans a path, performs the sweep, and lands safely back in the Hive. No manual drone operation required. With 3D property mapping and geofencing, the Bee navigates and stays within a property. The Bee detects unexpected obstacles and re-routes to avoid collision and improve future flight paths.

Nightingale Security

Detects Intrusions Utilizing AI

The moment a 911 call or an alarm is activated, the system springs into action autonomously. A drone is dispatched to the precise location of the incident, providing a visual feed to the response team through live video streaming. This system introduces Robotic AI Intrusion Detection (RAID). Through autonomous patrols, drones meticulously sweep areas of interest surrounding the facility. Alerts are judiciously dispatched exclusively upon detecting human and vehicle intruders.
