Projectdetails

Introduction

Sightec offers a unique platform based on cutting-edge algorithms which can provide vision-based orientation and navigation, real-time detection & tracking, visual positioning, and autonomous inspection.

Analytics and Communication

Sightec analytics performed on edge devices support a novel approach for determining global self-position. Our system enables constant communication and real-time broadcast of analytics to mission control, while using minimal network bandwidth.

Navigation Capabilities

With Sightec, autonomous and remotely piloted vehicles can navigate as human pilots do, by cross-referencing map data with visually observed landmarks, known waypoints, and visible obstacles and hazards.

Autonomous Tasks

Sightec enables drones to autonomously perform complex tasks that are otherwise impossible with currently available technology.

Demonstration of Capabilities

In February 2021, our capabilities were demonstrated through a successful flight of a delivery drone across five routes in southern Israel, beyond line-of-sight and without the use of GPS.
