Why Buy a Mercury for Your Study

A research-ready platform to study multimodal drones: hardware, firmware, and operations.

Research Advantages

  • Access to raw telemetry and battery/discharge logs for controlled experiments.
  • Modular payload interfaces for sensors, cameras, and environmental samplers.
  • Multiple operation modes (eco, performance, long-range) to compare trade-offs.
  • Developer APIs and sample code to integrate custom experiments and data capture.

Study Comparison

  • Build-your-own: long lead times and integration overhead.
  • Mercury: turn-key platform with reproducible baselines for publication.
