Flights mania 02: Flying robot drones made possible by Autel's recent technology

In my previous post about drones, I dealt with the design of drones and modern technological development and advancement on drones. I also talked about a type of drone called a chirocopter that could fly in swarms of bees without coming in contact with the bees . In this post, I want to introduce a new concept known as the flying robot drone. With drones being controlled by humans, robots function based on the programmed functions in them. While the deliberations of having planes and flying objects in the form of robots was still online, a well-known robotic industry known as Autel robotics has gone ahead to make the first and competitive robotic drone. So we'll move on to discuss this new Autel robotics drone model..

Applying the quadcopter drone model, the firm advanced the technology by adding something that never existed in the earlier design which is the artificial intelligence(AI. The world now has flying drones equipped with artificial intelligence which implies that the drone can actually fly to any pre-programmed destination and carry out ant action needed and make a return without human control or monitoring.

The product is designed with the X-star premium that has twice the HD live view range compared to the existing X-star drones. It includes a larger 64-GB card and comes packed in a semi-hard, splash-proof, zippered premium case.

An X-Star HD premium flying robot drone

The drone is a highly sophisticated yet amazingly easy-to-fly Quadcopter designed for superb aerial imagery. It is incorporated with a 4K camera and 3-axis gimbal that can record crystal-clear, smooth Ultra HD videos or take 12-MP photos with HD Live outrageous view up to 1.2 miles away..wow.. This drone is ready to fly out of the box and can be flown with or without the help of the free Star link mobile app. Powered by an intelligent flight control system, dual GPS, and GLONASS satellite navigation and aided by the Star point Positioning System, the drone stays safe and stable, even indoors or at low altitudes. Where other drones might become erratic or fly away when there is magnetic interference, the X-Star is equipped with our exclusive Secure Fly technology to help your drone come back home safely.

Flying the X-Star is very easy: you can start the motors, take off and land, hover, or have the drone automatically return home by using the one-touch buttons on the remote controller. The controller’s integrated LCD displays critical flight information, allowing the Star link a mobile app to show full-screen live HD video. Star link brings a wealth of autopilot features such as follow, orbit, waypoints, and also lets you adjust camera settings and record images in flight. With the X-Star Premium from Autel Robotics, a new perspective is just one flight away.

Features of the Autel Robot drone

The Autel robot drone has outstandingly special features such as:

1. 4K camera and detachable gimbal; shoot like a pro:

Breath-taking scenes deserve to be captured with world-class quality. That’s why the X-Star Premium is equipped with a 4K Ultra HD camera that has 108-degree FOV and is mounted on a 3-axis gimbal that prevents unwanted camera movements to capture stable, smooth video footage. Take video at 4K30, 2.7K60, 1080p120, or 720p240 and take 12-MP photographs. The camera and gimbal are easily removable for replacements or future upgrades.

The X-star's camera is built with the highest quality optical glass to capture rich colours at all time. Its pilot also delivers a stunning aerial view or imagery.

2. Remote controller

Fix your smart-phone or tablet securely in place to enjoy the camera’s HD live view. One can make decisions with the help of important flight information displayed on the controller's integrated LCD screen. It is equipped with command sticks that provide maximum grip and confidence for agile maneuvers, while function keys instantly capture the perfect moment, or quickly activate the aircraft’s flight-assist modes.

3. Superior flight and speed; fly with confidence:

The four wings of the X-star flying robot drone enhances its speed, lift, drag and thrust during flights.

The Starpoint Positioning System(SPS) measures the aircraft’s flying height and optically tracks its position. This lets the X-Star Premium fly accurately, at low altitude, even when a GPS signal is unavailable. In addition, dual GPS and GLONASS navigation ensure solid positioning even in low signal environments. Smart flight features such as: follow, Orbit, and Waypoints allows one to focus on controlling the camera rather than the flight controls so that you can capture the most extraordinary scenes, while options like Beginner Mode can provide a geo-fence that limits your aircraft’s range and speed.

4. Long lasting battery time:

The X-Star Premium is powered by a powerful, lightweight, intelligent 14.8V LiPo battery that provides up to 25 minutes of flight time and 1.5-hour worry free. It has an inbuilt technology that ensures its longeivity. A fast charger is also included for charging.
