Aerial Robots

At ACENTAURI-INRIA, we have many robots for different research projects used by Researchers, Engineers, Ph.D. students, and Postdocs.

For AgrifoodTEF, at the moment we have two types of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) i.e. DJI's Matrice 300 RTK (shared with other projects), Skydrone's VERSATYL (dedicated).

DJI Matrice 300 RTK

The DJI Matrice 300 RTK is a platform inspired by modern aviation systems. Offering up to 55 minutes of flight time, advanced AI capabilities, 6-way sensing and positioning and more, the Matrice 300 RTK sets a whole new standard, combining high-performance intelligence and unrivalled reliability.

In the framework of AgrifoodTEF, this robot is being used for:

• Data acquisition and Geolocalisation
• Ground truth for testing and evaluation of AI and Robotic Algorithms
• Autonomous navigation
