AAM Concepts Abound at 2023 Consumer Electronics Show

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China—the beating heart of the Middle Kingdom’s software and drone industries—Autel Robotics comprises a team of professionals characterized by a collective and genuine passion for technology and years of engineering experience.

In 2015, Autel Robotics released its first-generation Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the X-STAR. In short order, the company debuted its EVO series of UAVs—the success of which afforded Autel recognition and burgeoning renown among U.S. consumers. The introduction of the EVO II series in 2020 earned Autel the distinction of having developed and brought to market the industry’s most powerful compact drone, and solidified the company’s favorable reputation among UAV manufacturers.

Comes now 2023, and the unveiling of Autel Robotics’s EVO Max 4T UAV, an intelligent, innovative flight platform at once suited to commercial, prosumer, and hobbyist applications. The EVO Max 4T’s suite of advanced autonomous flight technologies includes omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, and tri-anti interference. The latter feature permits operation of the contraption in busy urban areas inundated with Radio Frequency, Electromagnetic, and Global Positioning System (RFI/EMI/GPS) interference.

The EVO Max 4T’s versatile payload bay allows carriage of a variety of sensors conducive to a wide range of undertakings. By dint of its Enterprise App—which enhances synergy between drone and pilot—the EVO Max 4T is capable of executing multiple sophisticated flight functions, to include autonomous pathfinding, live streaming, and target acquisition. Engineered for both easy manual operation and robustly reliable autonomy, the EVO Max 4T is quickly and easily configurable to missions as disparate as search and rescue, firefighting support, mapping, security, surveillance, and facility and infrastructure inspection.

The EVO Max 4T is equipped with three high-quality cameras: a 48-mega-pixel telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom, 160x digital zoom, and a ½-inch Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) sensor; a 50-mega-pixel wide-angle camera with a 1/1.28" CMOS sensor and 3840 x 2160 video resolution; and an infrared camera with a 640 x 512 resolution and 1.2-kilometer ranging distance. The EVO Max 4T also sports a range of intelligent navigation and data acquisition functions, including 3D flight routes, PinPoint Mode, Team Work, Polygon Mission, Waypoint Mission, and Oblique Photography.
