Their initial plan was to develop a high volume manufacturing capability and fund rapid growth and new product development. The eBee is the first such product from that venture. The just announced 3' wingspan eBee can fly for 45 minutes in 45km/hr winds, and will enable users to take their own aerial photos and produce precise ortho-mosaics and 3D models. senseFly has also established an impressive global network of resellers which presently excludes the US (because of FAA regulatory limitations). senseFly, working with another Parrot Group partner and another EPFL spin-off (with a similarly intentioned $2.5 million equity investment from Parrot to spur growth and development), Pix4D, has developed a suite of software which can create a flight path and take 2D geotagged images and then process them into 3D maps.

Below is an EPFL/Pix4D video displaying additional information about the process of filming, tagging and creating 3D maps and images. When senseFly's UAVs are allowed into civilian airspace, there are a myriad uses: Mine and quarry surveys Agricultural and cattle monitoring Surveying (general and archeological) Urban and regional planning “We are witnessing a revolution whereby flying drones are no longer exclusive to the military but are quickly spreading into the civilian world. In 2010, Parrot surprised competitors and fellow researchers alike when they hit the market with their iPhone-piloted quadcopter for filming and gaming. The same year, senseFly revolutionized the job of surveyors by providing fully autonomous flying cameras capable of producing precise 2D and 3D maps within minutes. Both companies are focused on developing very lightweight drones with the strong belief that this is critical to their use by the public at large – far beyond the military”, says Jean-Christophe CEO and co-founder of senseFly.

Many businesses can now clearly see the benefits of using Drones in their commercial environments. Fuelled by the use of toy Quadcopter and Hexacopter drones, people from all over the Globe are coming up with innovative ideas for commercial drone usage. In the agriculture industry small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and drone businesses are learning what is required by farmers and adapting their offering according to the demand. DJI Innovations and 3DRobotics are the companies that are likely to prosper from the emerging Agridrone industry due to the low entry cost of their models. It’s a case of toy and hobby models becoming professional tools. The Oil Industry are one of the biggest customers for drones and UAV’s as substantial savings can be made by using these craft rather than sending out teams of personnel. In the Republic of Ireland the Irish Aviation Authority has issued permits to twenty two operators to use drones mostly for aerial surveying and photography. Open source code, software development for ground stations, 3D Printing and complex algorithms will all play a part in future drone business developments.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology they are replacing state-estimation algorithms with neuromorphic sensors to develop avoidance software. The Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) is being developed by  researcher Andrea Censi of MIT’s Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles running a new algorithm can update location every 0.001 sec to make extremely fast agile maneuvers. Developing Sense and Avoid Technology is is far from simple and development requires a multi-disciplined team and savvy problem solving innovators but the rewards are evident. Drone Patents Individuals and companies involved can clearly see that the Drone Business is on the cusp of something really innovative, exciting and highly lucrative so patent applications will undoubtedly play a significant part in UAV Development. senseFly Ltd (A Swiss company owned by Parrot producers of hobby/commercial grade AR Drones ) already own a number of Aerial Robotic Patents and have patent applications pending.

The European Commission have recently used the senseFly eBee Unmanned Aerial Vehicle to map landslide areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Microsoft recognized the amount of buzz being generated by drones and used an eBee mapping drone to show off the technology in its latest Surface Tablet. Also located in Switzerland is Raffaello D’Andrea famed for his viral video ‘The Astounding Athletic Power of Quadcopters’. D’Andrea, Co-founder of Kiva systems a robotics and logistic company (Bought by Amazon) is Professor of Dynamic Systems and Control at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich and is researching and developing autonomous systems. ETH have a research-driven airspace ‘The Flying Machine Arena’ where flying vehicles teach themselves, and each other, how to fly. It has been predicted by visiongain that worldwide sales of under twenty five kilogram unmanned aerial vehicles,  will reach $1.33 Billion in 2014 and expects the market to see significant growth.
