VIDEO: SECURITY DRONE THAT ROAMS YOUR HOME ON ITS OWN...

Aire is an aerial robot that can be engaged remotely to provide a live stream inside the house, featuring a soft fabric exterior to avoid injuries to anybody that happens to be near. 

Billed as a smarter home monitoring system, the idea of using a remote-controlled flying camera to peer around your home when you are out and about sure is not a bad idea. The Aire drone is designed by a startup company Aevena and claims to detect and avoid obstacles in every direction. The security drone is armed with four sonar sensors and a 3D depth camera. The drone will be primarily controlled over Wi-Fi through a smartphone app in the first-person-view mode but the company tells us that autonomous flight modes will become available via over-the-air updates down the track.

The hardware onboard includes a 3D camera and a 4K camera with night vision, along with IMU sensors, NVIDIA Tegra supercomputer processor and an ARM-based Flight Controller. Flight time from the 2,000 mAh Li-Po battery is reported to be 8 minutes. Aevena, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to finance production. Early pledges of US$699 are available, and shipping will start in November 2018 if all goes according to plan, you can check out the pitch video below.
