Robots in the air

Automated drone startup Airobotics recently introduced Trion, its first in-house developed and manufactured sensor for UAVs. The company described it as a “high-definition, electro-optical and infrared gyro-stabilized payload” that provides day-and-night observation, surveillance, and targeting capabilities at long ranges and in adverse conditions.

Founded in 2014, Airobotics currently has a pending application for a landing and charging system for drones, shown in the image below. Although the company does not yet have documents related to surveillance or monitoring, more applications may be published in relation to this announcement.
