Robot and Drone Use Beyond COVID-19 

Drones and robots are not and were not ever just a pandemic phenomenon. COVID-19 showed us new and innovative ways to use these devices, and they are in use in almost all sectors of society, including construction, farming, oil and gas, real estate, military, and health care. With such expansive opportunities, new innovations are just waiting to be developed by the fastest manufacturer.

The rapidly multiplying use of robots and drones has created a need for a quick turnaround and easy-to-use, standard sensors for the new prototypes. Quick, immediate access is needed to keep up with the demand as manufacturers continue to develop new innovations.

Navigation Solutions that Improve Development Time

The MicroStrain 3DMGQ7-GNSS/INS inertial sensors and state-of-the art RTK GNSS receivers eliminate programming time. Built-in Robot Operating System (ROS) drivers provide a flexible framework for writing robot software and become the standard platform for creating and deploying prototypes faster. 

This GPS World article goes into more detail on how this, and other solutions, can help bring your prototypes to market, faster.
