VOXL CAM Fully Integrated Robot Perception System

VOXL CAM™ - Smarter Perception, Safer Navigation, all in one Small Package

VOXL CAM is a state-of-the art, fully integrated robot perception system. The VOXL CAM condenses the computing power of seven PCBs and four concurrent image sensors into one compact platform powered by Blue UAS Framework components, VOXL and Flight Core.

The VOXL CAM is designed so developers and robot builders can mount directly onto their drone or robot and accelerate their system's path to autonomy. It is designed, tested and assembled in the USA with many of its components built in the US as well.

VOXL CAM has been integrated with the ArduPilot team for GPS-denied UAS flight! Check out their demo video here

Ready to Use Development Tools
