PaulHOST

Um, it just, I don't get it.
PaulHOST
3:31
A lot more people are moving to RTK anyway.
PaulHOST
3:36
Why? Starts with Elon Musk.
RobHOST
3:39
Starlink, baby.
PaulHOST
4:05
[laughs]
RobHOST
4:07
It was awesome.
PaulHOST
4:08
So when you can have cellular data anywhere for 50 bucks a month, um, you can get the Starlink and the RTK and it still be cheaper than Arrow Points.
PaulHOST
4:19
So it kind of negates the problem solution or value proposition of Arrow Points.

Bugs, raccoons, birds, hail, lightning, dust, temperatures from 40 degrees Celsius to minus 20, even solar weather interfering with GPS.

They use military-grade dual-band RTK differential GPS and spent the past year hardening systems through the worst part of a solar cycle.

2:39
What about the company's structure? How do they move fast at this scale? They keep it lean, with small, empowered teams instead of traditional middle management.

Velocity matters at hyperscale.
Raleigh FloresGUEST
24:14
I mean, we've been working on next iterations as well, different mounts that allow us to mount sensors on the kite.
Raleigh FloresGUEST
24:22
We've done a test run with sending Leo out with 19 sensors and RTK GPS and basically tracking every little motion from his lower arm to his lower leg to his head to the wingtip of the kite and visualizing that.
Raleigh FloresGUEST
24:44
So sure, I mean, there's got to be a balance in putting sensors on the material and that's not affecting the flight characteristics of a kite.
Raleigh FloresGUEST
24:56
um but also um there is definitely loads of data um which they might be interested in and i mean down the line we can we can run a complete comparison of each of the products on the market and like now really uh quantify those terms of like which kite turns the fastest which kites which kite pulls the most and that sort of stuff not sure all everyone in the industry will like this but uh The data is going to be there for sure.
Stephen FenechHOST

Now, setup was pretty simple.
Stephen FenechHOST
27:40
You need to find a spot for the charging station, and you also need to install the RTK.
Stephen FenechHOST
27:46
Now, that's real-time kinematic beacon.
Stephen FenechHOST
27:50
Now, that RTK positioning system, it boosts GPS accuracy from a few meters down to just a couple of centimeters.
Stephen FenechHOST
27:59
That's important for a robot mower, so it knows its way around.
Stephen FenechHOST
28:02
Uh, you gotta...
Stephen FenechHOST
28:03
So the, the mower was on its charging stand, obviously it needs power and, and thankfully there was a nice long cord that you can put out the back of it and we've got an outdoor power point in our place, uh, and Wi-Fi as well out there, so easy to connect it.
Stephen FenechHOST
28:16
The RTK goes on a, on top of a pole and that sits just close.

AnnaHOST
29:35
So, like, this kinda works with lawns because lawns look really different from things that you don't wanna mow.
AnnaHOST
29:41
And there's something called RTK GPS positioning.
AnnaHOST
29:46
So this is, like, down to the centimeter talking to a satellite, and you can map out areas in your garden.
AnnaHOST
29:54
So if you got one of these, it would come with an app, and it would show you a picture of your garden, and you would basically paint out areas where you didn't want that robot to go.
AnnaHOST
31:14
Or-
CaseyHOST
31:15
It is a pretty flat garden.
AnnaHOST
31:17
No matter what, if you're shopping for something, you should look for something with RTK GPS positioning, and you have NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to have to thank for that.
CaseyHOST
31:27
Yeah.
