Autel Robotics Invites Users to Collaborate in Development of New Product

Transcription

1 Contact: Natalie Cheng FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Autel Robotics Invites Users to Collaborate in Development of New Product LAS VEGAS, April 18, 2016 Autel Robotics is showing prototypes of its new handheld, stabilized camera platform for the first time today at NAB 2016, Central Hall C2139 and asking the public to participate in the development process. The prototypes currently feature a 4K UltraHD camera, a 3-axis gimbal automatic stabilizer, three shooting modes, a built-in mic, and a customizable modular mount. This portable platform will also hook up to a mobile device and app for advanced settings, autonomous camera maneuvers, and a live camera feed. Autel Robotics customer collaboration effort starts at NAB There will be a table at the Autel Robotics booth where attendees can interact with the prototypes and submit ideas for names, color variations, use case scenarios, features, and other ideas for the product. We re always looking for ways to stay as close to our customers as possible, Autel Robotics Director of Communications Natalie Cheng said. By asking potential users to participate and provide feedback throughout development cycle, we hope to create a final product that is a powerful, customizable, and a useful tool to customers. Autel Robotics will also show its X-Star series of 4K camera drones now available for purchase and provide an update on its unprecedented fixed-wing, vertical takeoff and landing Kestrel prototype with expanded use cases. Autel Robotics is an emerging technology company based in the greater Seattle area. With 7-days-aweek customer support, the company is dedicated to providing users with the best-possible experience. The rapidly growing team of more than 150 engineers in the U.S. and overseas is committed to developing the most innovative technology. Please visit the Autel Robotics booth at NAB 2016 at Central Hall C2139 for more information. ###

2 Contact: Natalie Cheng FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Autel Robotics Expands Use Cases for Unprecedented Fixed-Wing, Vertical Takeoff and Landing Kestrel UAS LAS VEGAS, April 18, 2016 Autel Robotics is showing updates on its unprecedented Kestrel project today at NAB 2016, Central Hall C2139. Among other updates, the company is expanding the scope of possible applications for the game-changing technology. By combining the aerodynamic advantages of fixed-wing flight with the takeoff and landing benefits of drone technology, Kestrel is the most efficient electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) system in the world. The current Kestrel prototype s technical specs include a design speed of 40 mph, up to 62-mile range, and flight time up to two hours. Autel Robotics first showed the Kestrel prototype at CES 2016 with an eye on precision agriculture and humanitarian efforts as possible use cases. Since the debut, the company has prioritized Kestrel s modularity to expand the potential applications to include resource management, inspection, security, and imaging and photography to name a few. We keep seeing new and amazing uses for the platform and have chosen to embrace that, Autel Robotics Senior Director of Technology Arvid Elias said. The same kind of modularity you see with our X-Star series, you will see on the Kestrel but on a much larger scale. At NAB 2016, Autel Robotics will also show its X-Star series of 4K camera drones now available for purchase, and invite attendees to collaborate and provide feedback on a new handheld camera stabilizer prototype. Autel Robotics is an emerging technology company based in the greater Seattle area. With 7-days-aweek customer support, the company is dedicated to providing users with the best-possible experience.
