…video and pictures and 3D point-cloud output, said the MassRobotics resident. In addition, Dronut X1 can carry advanced payloads and can come in direct contact with people without risk of harm, Cleo said. The frame is built from carbon-fiber composite materials for durability and reliability even in tight spaces. The Dronut X1 pilot assist – powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon – is designed to make flying easier and safer, allowing the operator to focus on collecting the data they need instead of manually managing the drone’s flight. It can operate around sensitive equipment and in low-light conditions. Dronut goes where no…

…intelligence and is capable of continuous, remote operation. The MassRobotics member markets Scout as a “drone-in-a-box” turnkey data service under a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. American Robotics added that its fully automated drone systems can conduct multiple missions per day without a human observer on the ground. This provides the ability to track and analyze data without physically sending employees into the field, according to the company. The Scout System is the first drone system approved by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration for automated operation beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) without a human pilot on-site, noted American Robotics.

…and precision motion technologies. The company recently partnered with MassRobotics to help robotics startups in Massachusetts. Aura compensates for eccentricity Aura solves the largest source of angular error, eccentricity, which is caused by off-center scale mounting and bearing runout, claimed Celera Motion. Robotics developers often use two encoders to compensate for the error, increasing cost and power consumption. Aura has a built-in compensation algorithm, thereby eliminating the need for the second encoder, it said. The Aura line extension enables a wider range of customizable scale sizes, along with standard glass offerings ranging from 18 to 63.5 mm (0.7 to 2.5…
