I contacted senseFly some months ago, as I was curious about the possibility of combining the use of their drones with Autodesk technology such as ReCap Photo.

They specialise in making unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) – drones – and now belong to the Parrot group (the makers of the AR.Drone, although senseFly drones are clearly targeted at professionals rather than consumers).

(EPFL is one of the two top technical universities in Switzerland, the other being Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH Zürich)). SenseFly started as a spin-off of the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). (When I say local, I mean they’re also in the French-speaking area of Switzerland, which is a relatively small region of a small country… I suppose that would be considered local by some standards. Earlier this year I came to know about a “local” company called senseFly.
