The worldwide market for uninhabited aerial vehicles continues to grow rapidly. Along with the growth in themarket, there is a steadily increasing demand for higher performance UAVs. To support this demand, TytoRobotics is developing benchmarking and measurement tools for small UAVs (e.g. <25 kgs) which may beused by designers and operators to assess motors, propellers and batteries for their aircraft. Accurateperformance data is as essential to mission planning and operational success for small UAV operators as it isfor traditional manned aircraft and large-scale UAVs.Tyto Robotics has developed a small propeller/motor test stand that measures thrust, torque and powerconsumption for small UAV propellers and motor combinations. This hardware tool also has integratedsoftware to operate the test stand and collect and analyze the data. Additionally, the primary users of thesystem at present are researchers and hobbyists with intermediate to advanced level of existing knowledge ofelectric propulsion systems. Tyto Robotics is seeking assistance to broaden the customer base for this systemto include less experienced users and to make the system suitable for educational institutions for training,representing a significant new business opportunity.

全球无人机市场持续快速增长。随着市场的增长，对更高性能无人机的需求稳步增长。为了满足这一需求，TytoRobotics 正在开发小型无人机（例如 <25 公斤）的基准测试和测量工具，设计人员和操作员可以使用这些工具来评估飞机的电机、螺旋桨和电池。准确的性能数据对于小型无人机操作员的任务规划和操作成功与传统有人驾驶飞机和大型无人机一样至关重要。泰通机器人开发了一种小型螺旋桨/电机测试台，可测量小型无人机螺旋桨和小型无人机的推力、扭矩和功耗。电机组合。该硬件工具还具有集成软件来操作测试台并收集和分析数据。此外，目前该系统的主要用户是具有中级到高级电力推进系统现有知识的研究人员和爱好者。 Tyto Robotics 正在寻求帮助，以扩大该系统的客户群，以包括经验不足的用户，并使该系统适合教育机构进行培训，这代表着一个重要的新商机。
