Overview

The Kedge™ localization unit is an indoor positioning system that enables autonomous flight of Lucie micro drones without GPS, cameras, or carpets. The robust system operates in a wide variety of venues and environmental conditions, including on ice, in deserts, on ships, and even adjacent to flame throwers. Kedge units integrate seamlessly into scenography and stage design, can be built into sets, carried by performers during shows, or hidden below audience seats. This proprietary positioning technology is central to Verity Studios' ability to deliver reliable autonomous indoor drone performances.
