Nothing changed about this robot itself — what you can see is the field shifting around it, or its maker's news rising and ageing.

One reading per day since 3 Aug, when the current ordering began. The rank above is the reading for 30 Aug, taken against 34 robots — the standing itself is live, so a robot added since then counts there and not here yet.

Overview

ANAFI Thermal is a professional thermal drone combining a 4K visible-light camera with a FLIR Lepton 3.5 radiometric thermal sensor. It features 3-axis gimbal stabilization, fusion imaging that overlays thermal and visible data, and the ability to identify temperatures from -10°C to +400°C with per-pixel absolute temperature measurement. The drone supports assisted flying via the FreeFlight 6 app with FlightPlan mode for pre-programmed missions, 2D mapping through Pix4Dcapture, and 360° panorama capability. Its camera can tilt 90° upward for under-structure inspection. The product is no longer available for sale, replaced by the ANAFI USA model.
