Project Prokyon

Project Prokyon is a fully autonomous industrial hexacopter, designed for chemical pipeline inspection and surveys. It proposes a fully autonomous and self-contained UAV inspection solution capable of operating in GPS-denied environments without pre mapping or external computers required, utilizing advanced real-time path planning g algorithms utilizing a LiDAR and stereoscopic SLAM system along with a modular GSS. Project Prokyon was exhibited to Henkel.
