شرکت پروکور زده تو کار سنگین و با یه معامله ۸۴۵ میلیون دلاری، DroneDeploy رو خریده تا ربات‌ها و پهپادها رو بفرسته وسط ساخت‌وساز

🚨 BREAKING: Construction software giant @procoretech is acquiring @DroneDeploy for $845 million. You probably missed it, but it's one of the most interesting deals in construction tech this year. This is one of the biggest robotics acqusition to date. DroneDeploy has been deployed on over 3 million job sites across 180 countries. Drones, ground robots, mobile cameras, fixed cameras, wearables, a full multi-modal perception platform for the built world. But the real prize is the data. Who could have thought... When this deal closes, Procore will sit on top of two of the most valuable domain-specific datasets in construction: Procore? 400 million photos, 126 million drawings, 10 million RFIs and inspections in the past year alone DroneDeploy, approximately 20 TRILLION sq ft of visual data for the built world, tens of millions of annotations, 100,000+ labeled safety issues. That combined dataset is a foundation for something much bigger than just software. Procore's ambition is to evolve from a system of collaboration into a system of intelligence, delivering digital co-workers that track what's happening on a construction site, make sense of it, and take autonomous action. Replace manual inspections with robots and drones that continuously evaluate sites and automatically trigger responses. In real time. At scale. Construction is one of the least digitised and least automated major industries on earth. Pay attention to this one. 👀 Congrats @mikewinn and team! 🦾 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → http://ziegler.substack.com
