  • Researchers demonstrated P300 takeoff, obstacle navigation, flight video return and high-definition scanning data capture.
  • The report says P300 can fly without GPS signals or human intervention using a fully autonomous exploration algorithm.
  • The product is described for mining, forestry, chemical, construction, urban management and emergency-response work.

Differential Robotics, also known as DifferentFly or Weifen Zhifei, develops autonomous flying robots for GPS-denied industrial environments. Its P300 and P300 Pro platforms are positioned around autonomous exploration, obstacle avoidance, 3D mapping and data collection in mines, forests, power, municipal and emergency-response settings.
