Drones are now widely used in agricultural spraying, seeding, pest control, disinfecting and sanitizing. This is one at work [📹 agrobrutta]

Founder's Forum Ep. 2: The Rails for Physical AI | Mike Horton Mike Horton (@mikeahorton) of @GEODNET on the FCC rulings blocking new DJI models, the US-made drone chip he built to fill the gap, and why he calls the network the rails for physical AI. Catch the full episode on YouTube!

Police Drones Cost Pennies. Helicopters Cost Over $10,000. Mike Horton (@mikeahorton) of @GEODNET on why the unglamorous physical AI use cases come first, and why he expects the consumer robot wave to hockey stick the network.

4/ $GEOD | @GEODNET MC: $130.4M | FDV: ~$262M • RTK data gives robots centimeter-level positioning • A July halving reduced base mining rewards • Buybacks and burns have pushed the model toward net deflation Physical AI still needs reliable location data.

Cybercab will be a gamechanger

How precise is the HYFIX H1P heading? Heading error sounds small in degrees, so here is what it means. Fly a drone 500 m on a heading that is off by 2°, which is easy to get from a magnetic compass near motors and wiring, and you end up about 17 m to the side of where you aimed. At 0.2°, it's about 1.7 m. We tested the H1P next to two other leading dual-antenna GNSS receivers. Each was stationary and compared with a reference: the average heading measured with antennas 2 m apart. With antennas 1 m apart, H1P's typical heading error was 0.18°, about 1.6 m of sideways offset over 500 m. At 50 cm spacing it was 0.27°, about 2.4 m. H1P sits in the same class as the other receivers we tested. At 20 cm spacing every receiver widens to around 1°, because a shorter baseline turns the same measurement noise into a bigger angle. Why it matters: a compass points to magnetic north, and anything magnetic nearby can pull it away. Dual-antenna GNSS heading doesn't use the magnetic field at all. It's measured from the satellites, it's already true north, and it works while the drone sits still. The plot shows each receiver's heading spread around the reference direction. A narrower arc means steadier heading.

DoorDash is bringing autonomous drones into food delivery with its new DoorDash Air initiative. Early trials have delivered restaurant orders in under five minutes, with Chipotle, Popeyes, and other eateries participating. The company plans to launch pilot deliveries in Northern California, exploring a faster way to get meals to customers.

GEODNET is building the positioning layer for physical AI. Its correction data gives drones, farm machinery and surveying equipment centimeter-level accuracy. That data comes from about 22K base stations that operators have installed across 174 countries. @GEODNET counted more than 150 enterprise customers on that network in August. Equipment and software partners extend that base, since a single integration can put the service in front of many end users. Positioning is an ongoing need for those customers and much of their spending recurs. Revenue reached an estimated $2.8M in Q3, more than double the $1.2M from a year earlier. Physical AI will put more robots, farm equipment and drones to work outdoors, and each needs accurate positioning to do useful work.

This is DoorDash Air. As a pilot, I can tell you that you wouldn’t build a plane and then ask if it can carry cargo. So we built @DoorDash Air from the ground up, designed around what 13 years of deliveries have taught us: what people order, how much it weighs, and how far it has to travel. Our drones are as silent as a passing car and early tests show that we’ve gotten flight delivery times in under ~5 mins on average, so you can get your @chipotletweets & @popeyes (our first partners) and local favorites right to you, fast. The first deliveries will be in NorCal. We proved autonomy works on the ground. Now see how it works in the sky.

Honored to be invited to the 61st Annual Governor's Buffalo Roundup at Custer State Park, South Dakota. A once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you @GovLarryRhoden for the invitation and the warm welcome at Mount Rushmore!
