The Zephyr

Zephyr is the aerial logistics and surveillance unit. A drone-based platform designed for long-range package delivery, atmospheric data collection, and aerial oversight of operations taking place on and beneath the ocean.

High-endurance hybrid electric/solar drone for remote supply delivery/ global disaster relief.

Functionality

  • Swarm Compatability
  • Hybrid electric/solar power for extended range and endurance
  • 3.5 KG payload capacity based on flight duration Specifications
  • 20 KM or more autonomous range, able to go offline and still function.
  • 2h endurance, solar-extended and upgradable with dual batteries/battery swap
  • GPS and LiDAR obstacle avoidance
  • Secure mesh-network telemetry

Goals

  • Work with an already existing satelite network to talk to humans anywhere on the planet.. or some places off it.
  • Reliable remote medical supply drops.
  • Timed, but fully autonomous operation in even extreme environments due to deep learning implementations.
  • Integration with Oracle for seamless logistics and mesh like data interface.
  • Mid-air battery swap demonstrations allowing payloads to be delivered to and from great distances.
  • As of right now, this is the most expensive robot per KG. It most likely will be a bit down the road.
