Anyone searching for an autonomous, modular drone
that is capable of carrying out tasks and returning to its charging platform
without any interaction from a pilot, may be interested in the Radioplane
Seeker. A unique type of drone that can be fitted with a wide variety of
different modules and offers nine interfaces including two payload mounts and
seven sensors.
The Radioplane drone has this week launched by
Kickstarter with the aim of raising US$ 50,000 over the next 40 days. Early bird
pledges start from US$ 3,400 or approximately £ 2,438, with shipping expected to
take place during December 2018 If all goes well. “The Seeker is programmed to
locate the Charging Pad, precisely land on it, recharge and resume its task.
Thanks to our software engineer’s 14 years of experience in developing drone
control systems, the flight control system is already fully functional.”
The Radioplane Seeker drone can be used for a wide
variety of different applications from metal detecting or any other jobs
requiring an autonomous self charging drone.
