DragonFly
Precise indoor 3-D location for mobile robots and drones
Dragonfly is a visual positioning system (VPS) that provides autonomous mobile robots and drones with precise location in 3 dimensions. Applying patented simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), Dragonfly uses video from the equipment's camera to deliver highly accurate location. Dragonfly technology provides a clear alternative to ultra wide-band (UWB) and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) for indoor positioning
by autonomous robots and drones.

- Various industries: 3D indoor location and navigation by drones enables inspections and tasks requiring visual identification. Drone tracking indoors is also enabled.
- Warehouse management: Autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and autonomous guided vehicles (AGV) get their location and navigate indoors. AGV and robot indoor tracking is also enabled.
- Warehouse management: Tracking the location of mobile robots and lift trucks enables automating inventory management, as items are placed on racks.
- Warehouse management: Forklift location tracking facilitates accident prevention and enables fleet management.
- Security: Autonomous mobile robots patrolling premises can issue alerts and record video annotated by accurate location, both indoors and outdoors.
- Retail: Autonomous mobile robots assist customers in large stores, guiding them to items and services throughout the venue with knowledge provided by accurate "indoor GPS".
