Uavia, a company from France, has a quadcopter developed largely without human intervention to operate. The device is not fully autonomous, but without direct physical human intervention, flying, and landing.
The company showed the quadcopter during the TechCrunch Disrupt meeting in London. The quadcopter of Uavia makes use of the Snappy Ubuntu Core. The first versions of the Uavia devices are intended for inspection, monitoring and maintaining an overview on agricultural activities.
Uavia says on its website that the quadcopter without the intervention of people can function. The operation is via a normal browser, where the device itself, the commands work via 3g and 4g connections. To provide the necessary energy to involve returns the quadcopter back to the charging station and recharges itself there independently.
