  • The system paired a custom-calibrated IR-LOCK sensor and MarkOne beacon with a WiBotic charging station.
  • A 3DR Solo drone provided the aircraft platform for the combined autonomous charging demonstration.
  • The integration linked precision landing and contactless charging in one unattended drone workflow.

IR-LOCK supplies infrared precision-landing sensors, beacon kits and UAV accessory hardware. Its precision-landing kit is built for attaching an IR-LOCK sensor to a UAV and placing a MarkOne beacon at the landing target.
