- djb_hackernews 12y agoExcept this isn't 3D modeling of huge areas. This is a drone that can navigate using no other sensors or input except for the Tango. It's SLAM in a 3 dimensional space without the expensive and cumbersome lasers.
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 12y agoI suppose tango doesn't work so well in direct sunlight?
- smrtinsert 12y agoskycatch appears to be doing realtime 3d mapping though as well.
- nschuett 12y agoI don't think skycatch is doing realtime 3d mapping. Most likely they're using photogrammetry that takes a couple hours to process after the flight.
