3) Augmented Pixels – For those interested in using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to help keep track of inventory, this startup’s “Indoor Drone Navigation” platform is designed to reduce the probability of collisions or other accidents by human operator error. The platform can pre-programed, fully automated drone flights and landings, or can use AR visuals to help the pilots see around corners and perform visual inspections in tight indoor spaces. The modules use real-time simultaneous localization and mapping for mobile phones and AR/VR glasses. For outside uses, the technology can also create automated security paths around large properties, removing the need for hiring full-time security staff.
