Drone developer Brinc today showed off its newest drone, designed to help cops and others who care about public safety do their jobs from a safe distance. The new quadcopter is called Lemur 2 and is tooled up and ready to go into areas that otherwise would be too dangerous for humans.
The new drone builds on the learnings from the previous version and adds a stack of new features. The new drone has increased autonomous abilities, with onboard lidar sensors that can help create 3D maps, and a handy standby mode where the drone just sort of hangs out, ready to take action when the drone operator wants to take over. The autonomous hover feature doesn’t need GPS systems to hang out and can evade obstacles and objects.
