High-Tech: senseFly and Surface

Cheseaux-Lausanne, Switzerland is home to senseFly Ltd., a company at the leading edge of civilian drone technology. Founded in 2009 as a spin-off of the EPFL- based Laboratory of Intelligence Systems, a leading research organization in robotics and artificial intelligence, senseFly develops, assembles and markets autonomous mini-drones and related software solutions for civil professional applications, such as accurate mapping of mining sites, quarries, forests, construction sites, crops, etc.

senseFly is committed to pushing civilian drone technology forward and to making the world a better place. They also do much of their work in the field – on mountaintops or other remote locations – so the ability to carry serious computing power in a compact package is vital and Surface Pro is a natural fit. Check out the video above to see how senseFly, and Drone Adventures which it supports, use Surface to do amazing work creating maps and 3D models around the world.
