Skydio, Xinjiang's rival, obtained US $170 million through round D financing, with a valuation of over US $1 billion

去年7月，skydio刚刚通过C轮融资筹集了1亿美元，并发布了首款专用企业无人机x2。该公司还为商业和企业客户推出了一套软件，这是skydio首次离开消费类无人机市场。自2014年成立以来，公司一直专注于消费型无人机市场。

In July last year, skydio just raised $100 million through round C financing, and released the first dedicated enterprise UAV x2. The company also launched a suite of software for commercial and corporate customers, the first time skydio has moved away from the consumer drone market. Since its inception in 2014, the company has focused on the consumer UAV market.

Skydio的首款无人驾驶飞机"R1"以其自主能力赢得了众多赞誉和赞誉。与当时其他消费类无人机不同，包括无人机制造商大江公司的产品，R1可以跟踪目标并射击，同时避开障碍物而无需任何人为干预。Skydio随后在2019年推出了第二款无人机Skydio 2，降价幅度超过一半，同时提高了自主跟踪和视频功能。

Skydio's first unmanned aircraft "R1" has won a lot of praise and praise for its autonomous ability. Unlike other consumer UAVs at that time, including the products of Dajiang, a UAV manufacturer, R1 could track targets and shoot them, while avoiding obstacles without any human intervention. Skydio then launched its second drone, skydio 2, in 2019, cutting prices by more than half, while improving its autonomous tracking and video capabilities.

去年年底，skydio引进了更多的高级人才，帮助其解决企业和政府客户的问题，其中包括一名在特斯拉（Tesla）和3D打印公司carbon有经验的软件开发主管。Skydio还聘请了来自轮回的两名高管，他们从事产品和工程方面的工作。轮回为大型企业管理基于云的车队运营提供了一个平台。

At the end of last year, skydio brought in more senior talent to help it solve the problems of its corporate and government customers, including a software development executive with experience at Tesla and carbon, a 3D printing company. Skydio has also hired two executives from samsara who work in products and engineering. Samsara provides a platform for large enterprises to manage cloud based fleet operations.

Skydio技术广泛应用于商业、公共部门和企业组织。该公司与公用事业、消防部门和建筑公司合作，开展远程检查、应急响应和城市规划。Skydio的美国血统也让它处于一个很好的位置，可以利用国防部门对无人机日益增长的兴趣。

Skydio technology is widely used in business, public sector and enterprise organizations. The company has cooperated with public utilities, fire departments and construction companies to carry out remote inspection, emergency response and urban planning. Skydio's American pedigree also puts it in a good position to take advantage of the growing interest in drones in the defense sector.
