Autel Robotics announced the Autel EVO MAX 4T at the CES2023 exhibition, which is an advanced high-performance commercial drone, and we will detail the Autel MAX 4T drone in this article.
Autel EVO Max 4T is different from other series of Autel drones, Max 4T has strong autonomy, autopilot technology can create real-time 3D flight path, and achieve perfect obstacle avoidance. Max 4T has multiple sensors and replaceable payloads, a foldable dust-proof and rain-proof design, and long-distance image transmission capabilities, which can be applied to a variety of complex environments for drone deployment.
EVO MAX 4T adopts a three-axis gimbal design. The camera gimbal integrates multiple camera sensors such as wide-angle, zoom and thermal imagers, as well as a laser rangefinder. The high-definition imaging system provides a guarantee for capturing images, object recognition and tracking.
Wide-angle lens: 1/1.28" CMOS, shooting 50MP photos and 4K@30fps videos, the added moonlight algorithm 2.0 can enhance night shooting capabilities!
Zoom Camera: Supports 8K 10x optical zoom and 160x max. Hybrid zoom that clearly shows details on targets as far as 1.24 miles away.
Thermal Imager: Equipped with a 640x512 high resolution radiometric camera, 30fps and 16x digital zoom.
Laser Range Finder: Tap a target to quickly get coordinates and altitude up to 0.75 miles away.
The Autel EVO Max 4T's strong autonomy manifests itself in primary wayfinding, navigation in GPS-denied environments, and accurate object recognition and tracking.
Autonomous Pathfinding: Autel's Autonomy Engine collects surrounding environmental data and plans a 3D flight path through complex environments such as mountains, forests, and buildings. Use cases include fast 3D scene reconstruction, public safety surveillance, industrial inspection, and land surveying.
Navigate in GPS-denied environments: Advanced sensors allow the EVO Max 4T to navigate in hardened structures, underground, or in environments without GPS.
Accurate object recognition and tracking: Based on Autel's AI recognition technology, EVO Max 4T can automatically identify and lock different types of targets such as heat sources, moving people, vehicles, etc., and realize high-altitude tracking and data collection for law enforcement personnel.
The Autel EVO Max 4T is the only commercial drone that combines a traditional binocular vision system with mmWave radar technology. The combination of these two technologies will enable the EVO Max 4T to sense objects as small as 0.5 inches in flight and fly without blind spots.
EVO Max 4T adopts the new A-Mesh system, which is also the first from Autel Robotics. This system can realize autonomous communication, connection and collaboration between drones. The networking technology of drones will support drone fleets to achieve seamless enterprise It has the characteristics of strong anti-interference, operation beyond visual range, full fleet control, and enhanced range.
Autel EVO Max 4T uses advanced flight control modules and algorithms, specially designed to combat RFI, EMI and GPS spoofing. This enables the EVO Max 4T to confidently fly near power lines, critical structures and complex areas.
Autel Enterprise App is a new drone remote control program released with this EVO MAX 4T, which can realize simple and efficient operation. Additional features and semi-autonomous modes maximize the EVO Max 4T's mission readiness and capabilities.
Featuring 6 antennas, 4 frequency bands, AES-256 encryption* and optional 4G integration*, the Autel EVO Max 4T SkyLink 3.0 system offers users the most advanced flight capability in the EVO range. The SkyLink 3.0 system can reach an image transmission range of 12.4 miles, the real-time image quality can reach 1080p/60fps, and the delay is lower than 150 milliseconds.
EVO Max 4T is equipped with the following intelligent features tailored for commercial end users:
3D Map Planning
Plan, create and execute 3D waypoint mission plans on the 3D map.
Mission Reproducibility*
Perform manual or semi-automated tasks, or string multiple tasks together. The EVO Max 4T will automatically record the camera angle and replicate the mission you just flew.
Quick Task*
Temporary quick tasks can be created while other tasks are in progress, and multiple subtasks can be stacked for added flexibility.
Enterprise applications provide a variety of autonomous and semi-autonomous mission planning for public safety, inspection, surveying, and other commercial applications.
Waypoint Mission
Users can add waypoints for flexible, unstructured flight paths.
Rectangular Task
Support one-click automatic generation of rectangular flight area.
Automated Tasks (generation and data capture*)
Add area boundary points by point or import KML files to automatically generate routes.
Terrain Following*
Maintain a relatively constant ground clearance on uneven or sloped terrain.
Oblique Photography
Automatically plan 5 groups of routes (1 orthogonal + 4 oblique) according to the flight area set by the user.
Spiral Mission*
Support SAR designated area spiral flight search.
Polygon Task
Supports one-click automatic generation of polygonal flight areas.
Vertical Scan*
Take vertical measurements of building facades, pit walls and towers.
Corridor Quest*
Supports intuitive and effective corridor mission planning for narrow and large-scale terrain such as roads, rivers, pipelines, power lines, etc.
*This feature will be available in a future update.
Data Security
AES 128/256 storage, radio link and network encryption for secure operation.
Privacy Protection
Data involving user and aircraft information, including flight logs, location and account information, is only physically accessible locally through the aircraft.
Encrypted Data Storage
Photos, videos, and flight logs support AES-256 encryption and are password protected.
Multi-channel projection screen*
Support simultaneous output of RGB, infrared, night vision, and wide-angle images.
AR Scene*
The geographic location data detected by ADS-B and other aircraft location information can be superimposed on the real-time map, which is convenient for users to confirm the location of the drone and avoid aerial risks.
*This feature will be available in a future update.
Automatic SDK
Autel SDK is open to the world, helping developers and partners reduce software and hardware development costs, and jointly create a new industry ecosystem.
Mobile SDK
Open the UX SDK (iOS & Android) to directly call up the existing interactive interface.
Payload SDK*
Unified interface standards, support access to third-party brackets such as microphones and gas detectors.
Cloud SDK*
Realize remote live broadcast and control of drones and Nest through third-party platforms or webpages.
The Autel EVO Max 4T is designed for surveys and inspections, search and rescue operations, public safety and many other commercial applications.
Since Autel Maxisys Ultra is Autel’s most ambitious diagnostics tablet, and it’s price is not low. So some people may confused “ Is it worth the price tag”. YOTA MDT inquired on ScannerDanner forum, said “ I'm pretty confused where my dollars would be best spent, does the ultra have other features that dont come with the lower autel?”
Tips For Key Programming Tip 1. Protecting Data Since key programming involves syncing sensitive data between your car’s system and the key, using a key programming device that offers encryption and data protection is crucial.This will ensure your vehicle’s electronic system is far away from exposed to potential threats or hacks.
