Drone company Draganfly (DFLY) and security tech company Knightscope have banded together to combine their technologies.

Knightscope is a developer of autonomous security capabilities, with a focus on one day being able to predict and prevent crime. Its solutions are a combination of self-driving technology, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Knightscope has selected Draganfly’s Vital Intelligence technology as the solution to integrate into its autonomous security robots and embedded applications. 

Draganfly’s Vital Intelligence technology uses an advanced microcontroller to perform sophisticated image processing. As such, it can provide real-time screening of key vital signs, while consuming less than 50 watts of electrical power. 

Despite Vital Intelligence’s small size and power consumption, its fully featured system features web-based API that works seamlessly with Knightscope’s autonomous operating platform. 

Knightscope’s Chairman and CEO, William Santana Li, commented on the combination of its solutions with Draganfly’s Vital Intelligence technology.

“This technology will enable real-time vital sign screening which has become a critical component in providing our clients with a comprehensive public safety solution,” he said.

“We chose Draganfly’s because of their commitment to providing the best, most secure and accurate vital signs screening available,” he added.

Draganfly’s CEO, Cameron Chell, also commented on the company’s collaboration with Knightscope.

“We are incredibly excited to be partnering with Knightscope to deliver our Vital Intelligence technology within their autonomous security robots,” he said.

“The combination of our technologies is a solution that provides a new level of public safety and security,” he added.

An initial five orders of the companies’ combined technologies have already been integrated and delivered. 

Draganfly is up 8.27 per cent and is trading for $1.44 per share, as of 10:52am EST.
