SUMMARY
At its Ascend 26 event, American drone company Skydio showcased new technology, including the R10 indoor drone and the F10 prototype. The F10 is a Robotic Takeoff and Land (RTOL) drone designed for long-range missions, featuring wings for flight and AI for autonomous subject tracking and path building. It has an asymmetrical design with a camera system on the longer wing, allowing it to keep subjects in view while avoiding being in its own shot. The F10 will be available in 2027 and can be launched from a new autonomous 'MegaDock' station that can store and charge multiple drones.
