Qualcomm® Drone - Autonomous Development Drone using VOXL
Build Autonomous Drones with Qualcomm Processors with ModalAI
Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ processors enable developers to create the smallest autonomous drones out there. The VOXL 2 Sentinel, Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G and VOXL m500 are development drones built around Qualcomm Snapdragon Processors. These development drones include comprehensive documentation and support by the same industry leading engineers that developed Snapdragon Flight and Qualcomm Flight Pro at Qualcomm. Accessibility and ease of use are really important to the team at ModalAI, and much of their effort is spent making autonomous drones easy to develop and deploy for a broad range of applications.
