Working dogs

Video of Border Collies doing some practice runs in knee high alfalfa. Flight using the controller. Did some experiments using the beacon on a dog but, I still need to do more practice with it.

Yeah, I would love to get more tracking support for animals and boats on a future update.

I may just find a job in Skydio and push for it internally.

There were a number of times that it picked out a sheep or dog. Once I got it to follow a sheep for a hundred yards or so.

I sent that video to a friend with Border Collies, thanks for posting.

Another working dog video, this one is a 14 year old dog that is pretty much deaf. This was done in one shot with no editing. I know my videos aren't like everyone's fast sport follow me's. I'm just happy that I don't have to worry about running into something while I'm concentrating on following the subject using the controller.

Well done! Amazing pup!
