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.
