We have developed and refined the engineering design and implementation of our novel concepts related to UAVs and docking stations. Our drones are 100% autonomous and recoverable. The drones can be programmed to autonomously launch, execute a mission, return to the docking station, and recharge – and it can all be set up to do so with the push of a single button, or be programmed to automatically launch at a pre scheduled time, i.e. pre-programmed missions.
