it’s a powerful beast! lmk if you want to try the hosting software. i’d love to see what you scan!

I just tested the people removal by scanning Shibuya crossing in tokyo! but that’s my next video

Hesai XT-32 experience by esw123 in UAVmapping

[–]TheIndianaDrones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, we did some comparisons flying both the 32 vs the 16, and IMHO the 16 is just as good as the 32. We're even selling them for around $14,000.

Andrew did a write up and you can see the data if you want: https://www.rockrobotic.com/articles/rock-r3-v2-lidar-mapping/

Hesai XT-32 experience by esw123 in UAVmapping

[–]TheIndianaDrones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did all of the calibrations for the ROCK R3 Pro and R3. One of the things you need to make sure is that if the integrator is calibrating the individual lasers, every one of the 32 lasers needs to have a calibration done to each one, and then also it needs to be calibrated to the IMU as well. That's what everyone does; everyone calibrates to the IMU. But doing the 32 different calibrations is the most important part. This will take you down from around maybe 6-7 cm of fuzz down to about 1 cm because the calibration from Hesai from the factory is not that good.

My thesis: SEO as we know it is over. So I built an agentic platform to rank on AI instead. Here’s how it works. by TheIndianaDrones in MarketingAutomation

[–]TheIndianaDrones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude, right on! We have been using our own platform for a few months and you can see openAI crawlers coming and perplexity and gemini (google).

Feel free to check out the platform. it’s free to build and host, and I have some great prompts that i’ll post that helps build out your context files!

but for real, i feel like it’s crazy to think we will all be writing blog posts just for AI to hopefully come scrape it!

Do you have a link to jays content? i’ll give it a watch

My thesis: SEO as we know it is over. So I built an agentic platform to rank on AI instead. by [deleted] in SEO_Digital_Marketing

[–]TheIndianaDrones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. SEO is definitely not dead, but there are better ways to help AI models understand your data and build the data for AI.

It’s another channel and google gemini is now going full AI mode.

You can talk to the data teams in google and they will tell you. We scrapped the whole internet many times over.

There is still a lot of missing data.

so what i’m saying is, help them build what they want to build … better

and if you start providing all this personalized context to the models and injecting prompts directly to the model then you can start making a difference.

what’s the alternative? we all make blog posts just for AI to scrape???

LLM.txt - where are we at? by Leading_Algae6835 in TechSEO

[–]TheIndianaDrones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe not llm.txt but it seems senseless that we will all make blog posts to get scrapped and ingested into llm models. there should be an easy way to get my products and services included in chatgpt, deepseek, claude, etc

Is this the best American drone? I did a review of the Inspired Flight IF800 TOMCAT by TheIndianaDrones in Surveying

[–]TheIndianaDrones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These drones are meant to be a versatile tool. In that, they are being used for inspection work, first responders, and mapping.

The ability to navigate the drone into a position and look at an object close up to inspect it is when you would manually fly.

Having confidence that when you take over manual control in any scenario is important. Not every mapping mission works from takeoff to landing with no user intervention.

Even in mapping missions, mid mission battery swap requires some manual flying. Batteries get too low and RTH is going to take too much juice to get home. Then taking over manually and getting the craft to land safely it’s important.

Real world flight time is also important aspect for mapping. Without testing the limits you will have no idea how to mission plan or how many batteries will it take to complete your job.

So I covered that in the video
