Skydio has built a new kind of camera - one that flies itself by combining artificial intelligence, computer vision, and advanced robotics into a tool that anyone can pick up and use in minutes.
Skydio R1 is equipped with 13 cameras, enabling it to look in every direction at once.
To operate autonomously, the Skydio Autonomy Engine has to comprehend what’s happening, where it’s going, and what will happen next. This level of understanding is how Skydio delivers a reliably awesome flying experience—every time.
Skydio R1 uses Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) to construct and update a map of an environment while also keeping track of a person’s location within it.
R1 interprets the context of each situation to figure out how to act appropriately. Through deep learning methods, it understands the difference between things it sees and factors that understanding into its behavior. And, because Skydio is always analyzing flight data, R1 becomes more capable over time.
Skydio is constantly deciding where and how to move by planning into the future. R1 uses all the information available—its 3D understanding of the world, its maneuvering capabilities, the subject’s movements and user commands—to move gracefully and capture amazing video.
R1 is built with cutting edge aerospace materials in a slim design that fits in your backpack. Featuring a lightweight anodized aluminum fuselage to dissipate heat from processing and carbon fiber rotor guards giving you peace of mind, R1 is ready for your next adventure.
