Sky Sapience Overview
Sky Sapience is a company that specializes in developing tethered drone systems. Their primary product is a tethered drone, which is a remotely operated unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that remains connected to the ground via a tether or cable. The key function of Sky Sapience's tethered drone is to provide persistent aerial surveillance and monitoring capabilities. These drones are designed to stay airborne for extended periods, which is made possible by their tethered connection, as they can receive power and data through the cable. The primary purpose of this technology is to offer continuous, high-altitude surveillance for various applications, including security, public safety, and event monitoring. Unlike traditional drones that have limited flight time due to battery constraints, Sky Sapience's tethered drones can provide an uninterrupted view from above, making them suitable for scenarios that require long-term aerial observation.

Alpha Unmanned Systems Teams Up With Sky Sapience and Sightec - UASweekly.com
Alpha Unmanned Systems, Sky Sapience, and Sightec have successfully stabilized real-time video imagery using UAV technology. The companies conducted test flights at the ATLAS Flight Test Center in Spain, capturing high-quality imagery of Andalucias rolling hills. The Sightec camera, without a gimbal and only with software, stabilized the imagery in real-time at an altitude of 1,081 meters. The video content was streamed to the Ground Control Station, allowing for real-time detection and tracking of moving objects. This software-only solution provides significant quality advantages. The article highlights the collaboration between Alpha Unmanned Systems, Sky Sapience, and Sightec in advancing UAV technology.

The National Council for Research and Development proposed the creation of a countrywide program for R&D in the field of robotics to advance society and the economy. The project has an economic potential of hundreds of billions of dollars, including exports. The state program would encourage the construction and development of robots and autonomic systems for various sectors. The council also suggested opening a national R&D institute for robotics and holding an annual professional conference. Science, Technology and Space Minister Danny Danon emphasized the need for a long-term robotics program.
