We ’ve known for a long time that Helen Greiner , who co - designed the original Roomba and co - founded iRobot , was work up a monotone . Now , we knowwhat that drone pipe looks like : Pretty awesome .
Greiner ’s new company , CyPhy Works , just announced its in vogue intersection , the LVL 1 dawdler , on Kickstarter . It ’s a bastardly - see thing with six rotors that are all slenderly tilted to permit for everlasting level flight of stairs — hence the name .
There ’s also an 8 - megapixel , 1080p camera built into the body and nonrational flight control through an iOS or Android app . The LVL 1 also features geo - fencing technology , which is like the droning equivalent weight of the Roomba not bouncing off the wall too much . All that and 20 minutes of flight metre .
Of course , the Roomba analogy can only go so far . While the LVL 1 bet like a pretty sophisticated and affordable golem - for - the - sky , it will not clean your house . It will decidedly instill your friends with aery acrobatics , though .
you may secure your own LVL 1 drone for $ 400 by endorse the Kickstarter project . Bear in brain thatnot all Kickstarter project become veridical products . Given the folks involve in building the LVL 1 , though , it ’s probably a passably dependable bet to say that this one will bump .
