…growth. We've also seen a lot of adoption by governments. The next areas of growth for autonomous drones are industrial and commercial spaces. Operators are looking for ways to get more information about facilities, structures, and infrastructure. A lot of industries already have fixed cameras, so they use a roaming sensor suite—which is what an autonomous robot or drone is—to paint a complete operational picture rather than extrapolate. Exyn partners with Sandvik How much does Exyn process the data it gathers before passing it on to Sandvik OptiMine Visualizer or other systems? Williams: Sandvik is the Caterpillar of the underground…
