Permanent mounted sensors and a rechargeable battery make the Sparrow an almost out-of-the-box drone solution (and while in its box, the base conducts autonomous “health checks”). Because it’s autonomous, the Sparrow can operate around the clock, collecting data in real time. Percepto honed its real-time machine vision and AI technology as a defense industry supplier the Sparrow is the company’s move into commercial markets. Percepto adds to the mix artificial intelligence to enhance its drone’s ability to monitor and secure industrial environments under harsh rain, snow and dust conditions. Percepto’s Sparrow I is a direct competitor to the Airobotics’ Optimus. CEO Ran Krauss previously founded two other drone companies, Bladeworx and ParaZero. The company has raised $71 million to date. Since the company launched in 2015, Airobotics drones have flown some 40,000 pilotless missions. Autonomous drones can be programmed to fly over a particular site every day at the same time, which saves money while minimizing human error.Īt Intel, one of Airobotics’ clients in Israel, drones inspect the gas and ammonia tanks that fuel the company’s semiconductor fabrication plant, looking for leaks that could cause fires. That makes Airobotics drones ideal for monitoring tough-to-reach industrial sites like mines, ports and assets owned by oil and gas companies. AiroboticsĪirobotics, one of the world pioneers in fully autonomous drones, was the first company to secure permission from a civil aviation authority to fly a drone without a pilot in command. Here is ISRAEL21c’s list of the top 9 drone companies in Israel. A growing number of drone startups – 64 of them are listed on Start-Up Nation Central’s website - focus on civilian needs from delivering pizza to monitoring industrial environments. Israel is the world’s largest exporter of military drones but the Startup Nation is also becoming a powerhouse in the development of commercial drones and related technologies. The incursion into Israeli air space of an Iranian-backed drone and the subsequent Israel Air Force strike on military bases in Syria earlier this year highlighted the critical role unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, or drones) are playing on the battlefield. We take a look at some of the most exciting. Israel has become a powerhouse in the development of military UAVs and, increasingly, commercial UAVs and technologies as well. ![]()
