The Cleo Dronut X1 Hides its Fans for Safer Operation

— November 24, 2021 — Tech
The Cleo Dronut X1 drone is a durable, bi-rotor technology product for maximizing the capabilities of operators by highlighting enclosed components and more. The drone comes as the first of its kind that utilizes a series of ducted fans to enable it to fly comfortably in the presence of humans without having to worry about them coming into contact with rotors. The unit is paired with a high-resolution 4K camera along with a three-dimensional LiDAR sensor, LEDs for operation in the dark and a global shutter camera to enable precise positioning.

The Cleo Dronut X1 drone highlights a very user-friendly design that can be piloted via an Android smartphone, which can even be modified to fit onto a PlayStation controller for increased agility.
