A U.S. drone survey startup has opened an office in Sudbury to better serve mining operations in Northern Ontario and across Canada.
Exyn Technologies announced on Jan. 21 it’s located its first international office at the NORCAT Underground Centre in Onaping, where the company will have access to a working test mine and newly constructed offices and meeting space.
Exyn develops fully autonomous industrial drones that can fly anywhere. Specifically, they’re designed for environments in which GPS won’t work, such as underground mines. Exyn’s target markets include construction, infrastructure inspection, and military surveillance and reconnaissance.
Headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, the company is a spinout of the University of Pennsylvania s General Robotics, Automation, Sensing & Perception (GRASP) Laboratory, a world-renowned robotics incubator, which “fosters collaboration between students, research staff and faculty focusing on research in vision, perception, contro
