BONUS: Drone Life News 004 – Parrot ANAFI AI, The All-New Skyfish Drones for Engineering, Google’s Wing App

Google's Wing App, Parrot ANAFI AI, World-Class Skyfish Drones for Engineering and Critical Infrastructure, Made In USA Drones In the fourth edition of Drone Life News, Paul and Miriam McNabb of DroneLife and JobforDrones discuss some of the latest and most exciting news from the world of drones. Our biggest story this week is about Parrot's new ANAFI AI drone. This unique drone comes with obstacle avoidance that is inspired by nature's best flyers - insects. Moreover, this is the first commercial drone to be 4G-connected - which means that you can fly easily even in areas of heavy magnetic interference. You will also learn how Parrot has managed to future-proof this drone to account for the fast-changing drone regulations. Next up, you will learn about Google Wing's new App, OpenSky - a free drone pilot app using which you can easily abide by FAA's regulations. Apart from learning where to fly (and more importantly, where not to fly), you can also use this app to get permission to fly in controlled airspace. The US-China trade wars have certainly boosted the prospects of various homegrown manufacturers. One such drone manufacturer is the Montana-based, Skyfish. Learn how Skyfish's purpose-built technology is being used to create precise 3D models for engineering and critical infrastructure. This is a show that you do not want to miss. Tune in now!
