Drones are being deployed in industries ranging from conservation toagriculture, to energy and emergency services. These applications all involve some degree of automation, whether it be following a pre-determined flight path or homing in on a mobile phone signal. But the team at SkySense wants to eliminate the need to pull a vehicle off the job when it runs out of juice.
The SkySense Charging Pad is a gold-plated dock with a 100-240 V power input and a 10 A charge rate. Using the pad to recharge a drone is as simple as landing on it, the company claiming compatibility with “nearly all existing multicopters and VTOL aircrafts,” with the DJI Phantom and Parrot’s AR Drone just two of the names mentioned.
