Disinfection drones not yet practical, finds Exyn Technologies study
Exyn Technologies, which provides a full stack of software and drones for GPS-denied environments, shared the results of a feasibility study on the use of UAVs for disinfecting large areas with UV-C light.
Scoutonomy makes Exyn’s self-piloting drones smarter at data gathering
Exyn Technologies’ new Scoutonomy behavior enables its self-piloting drones to participate in ground intelligence and search-and-rescue missions in places too dangerous for people.
Exyn drone maps inactive mine on the fly
Ascot Resources geologists knew from surface drilling programs that there was still some gold in a mine that had been inactive since the 1940s. But they needed more information to determine how much resource remained. Surveying a previously active mine typically would be done by a specialist with handheld laser tools, but areas of the…
Robotics investments recap: July 2019

Exyn Technologies enabling advanced autonomous navigation
One of the biggest challenges in robotics is developing autonomous systems that can reliably operate in unmapped environments. This is why, for example, leading self-driving car company Waymo only tests in areas it’s spent countless hours at creating detailed 3D maps. Exyn Technologies, a spin-off of the University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP lab founded by Vijay Kumar, is making tremendous…
