ModalAI’s VOXL CAM Perception Engine Functionally Impressive, Provides Developers with Options for Ongoing Innovation

Organization: ModalAI
Country: USA
Website: https://modalai.com
Year Founded: 2018
Number of Employees: 1-50

The functional capacities of ModalAI’s VOXL CAM solution are impressive - powerful compute, imaging and navigation - particularly given its small size.

Description:
RBRlogo In November 2021, ModalAI, a Qualcomm spin out, released the VOXL CAM perception engine, a credit card sized, pluggable, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that provides robotics systems, drones and IoT devices with GPS-denied navigation, indoor and outdoor depth mapping, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), object detection and avoidance, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) flight control and cellular connectivity. The VOXL CAM incorporates Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 821 chipset and ModalAI’s Flight Core, a PX4 drone flight controller.

Analysis:
The functional capacities of ModalAI’s VOXL CAM solution are impressive - powerful compute, imaging and navigation - particularly give its small size. The base VOXL CAM weighs just 57.5 grams, 87 grams with the flight controller and modem installed. To emphasize the point, ModalAI released a second product with the VOXL Cam, namely the Seeker, a micro-development drone capable of both indoor and outdoor autonomous navigation.

ModalAI’s VOXL CAM and Seeker drone, along with the company’s VOXL Flight computing platform and controller for drones (released in 2020), provides developers of drone-based solutions with a range of powerful technical enablers for drone (and robotics) applications, many of which are sure to be for indoor operations. This range of solutions provides engineers with many design and development options, a necessary requirement for ongoing innovation. – Dan Kara
