Nanomotion's 'precision motion' technology aims to revolutionize emergency drones
Israel-based company Nanomotion is working on improving drones used in rescue missions by closing the gap between camera resolution and field of view. The company has developed precision motion technology that can measure, stabilize, and operate semiconductors with nanometer precision. This technology can benefit various industries, including medical and homeland security. Nanomotions technology allows smaller and lighter cameras to operate with absolute precision, enabling greater coverage in a shorter time. The companys products are popular among universities and OEMs. Nanomotion was founded in 1992 and was fully acquired by Johnson Electric in 2007.

Nanomotion Technology Revolutionizes Motion Systems for Drones
Nanomotion, a Johnson Electric Company based in Israel, is entering the UAV market with their ultrasonic standing wave piezoelectric technology. Their motors have no moving parts and can stop and restart in microseconds, making them lighter and more efficient. They have developed a product called Airborne Focus Module that can move a camera with absolute precision, allowing for greater coverage in less time. Nanomotion is launching a commercial gimbal, the nG65-D, aimed at drone manufacturers for faster response time and better-stabilized images. The company believes their technology will be a game-changer for the commercial drone industry.
