And basically, there are two key components of what it needs to do.
One, and this is often undervalued in robots, it needs to know where it is.
And people forget that they need to know this.
We take for granted that we know where we are in a room at a given time.
And it's developed all kinds of cool algorithms, including the best acronym in all of robotics, the simultaneous localization and mapping called SLAM.
I'm jealous of that.
Of course it's SLAM it, right?
And so part one is you have to know where it is.
So it uses what we call a visual inertial odometry.
Have we covered this on the show in the past, or no?
Oh, many times.
Many times, OK.
Well, I mean, we all know what odometry is.
That's the odometer in your car, right?
And how do you know how far you've gone?
It counts how many times the wheels have turned, right?
Well, we don't have wheels with these drones, but you have vision.
So you can do visual odometry, basically see whether we have a camera on board the drone, and you see how much the image flows past you, and that gives you an estimate of how far that you've gone.
That's the visual part of the visual-inertial odometry.
The inertial part is also really cool.
