Excited for what's coming out next from @BrincDrones. Unique capabilities for a critical purpose. American made to address American challenges. And just look at that sensor array
Best AI product launch video!
$52M seed round. 15M+ users. But this is what we're most proud of yet.
Introducing Drama 3: the most emotive and controllable TTS model in the world
And yes, it's open-weight.
You can now control how even a single word should sound, change its tone, and shift your voice mid-sentence.
Uncle Roger was impressed too.

The leading SWAT drone is featured on the leading SWAT show.
SWAT Exiles just dropped its first episode today, and Hondo is back with a new squad and some new equipment – the BRINC Lemur 2. Our team is excited to tune in weekly for some action-packed episodes!
Watch Lemur 2 on #SWATExiles, exclusively on STARZ.

Wildfires move fast. Public safety agencies need the intelligence to move faster.
BRINC just added two new map layers to LiveOps, available to every BRINC customer at no additional cost: live wildfire detections and real-time smoke coverage.

What does the future of emergency response look like?
@GadiNBC with @NBCNews recently visited BRINC to see how public safety agencies are using drones to deliver critical information to first responders in seconds, carry lifesaving tools like Narcan, and reduce the probability of use of force.
The story also explores why BRINC was founded: to build technology that helps first responders save lives while keeping them out of harm's way. We're grateful to the agencies across America using public safety drones to keep their communities safe.
Watch the full report below.

Stop charging. Start swapping.
When Guardian is paired with Guardian Station, its robotic swapping nest, the system automatically swaps batteries and redeploys to a new mission.

Meet Guardian, BRINC’s latest product and the most capable 911 response drone ever. This is the closest thing to a police helicopter replacement that the drone industry has ever produced.

Thank you @RCamposDuffy and the @FoxNews team for having me on @foxandfriends earlier today! It was a pleasure talking about the current status of the US drone industry and our work building public safety technology.
This is wild. Shows how China narratives are just narratives. Everything in the US is open for a price.
Love this quote:
“We may look back on this as the moment America voluntarily chose to subsidise our own strategic decline…,” Liza Tobin, China expert at Jamestown Foundation
Breaking news: Trump said he is considering allowing Nvidia to sell a more advanced chip in China after confirming that he 'negotiated a little deal' in which the US will take a 15% fee of the chipmaker’s AI processor sales to the country. on.ft.com/4mu8v4F

I am thrilled to announce @BrincDrones just closed a $75M funding round led by @IndexVentures + entered into a strategic alliance with @MotoSolutions!

Today, @d0tslash and I released our write-up about a pre-installed tunnel service on @UnitreeRobotics Go1 robot dogs from China.
This tunnel service enables Unitree (and anyone else with the API key) to remotely control the robot dogs or even log in to their Raspberry Pi via SSH and look around your local network.
We found a total of 1,919 devices that were connected to the network at one point in time, including many universities as well as some corporate networks.
Attached to this post is a Proof of Concept video, where I use the tunnel service to connect to@d0tslash's robot dog and control it remotely.
Find the link to download the write-up in the first reply.

On March 3, 2025, the #drone industry lost a giant. Romeo Durscher, a Swiss-born pioneer who transformed drones into life-saving tools for public safety and humanitarian good, passed away after a months-long battle with cancer.... @romeoch #dronesforgood

.@UnitreeRobotics bot was spotted on the official Chinese New Year show yesterday. Their robodog was featured a few years back. This is a gov celebrating science and its tech industry. They then boil it into TV and edu programming. And we wonder how Deepseek happened...???
First time seeing this messaging take off. I bet it does far better than China bans tied to “data security” by politicians that barely know how to turn on their phone
.@BostonDynamics throwing a policy jab in a press release about patent resolution is an interesting move. Feels like desperation after massive price competition

Last week's S.W.A.T. episode had a special guest star—the Lemur 2! In case you missed it, here is the clip that's got everyone buzzing.
Thrilled to see 20 squad deploy Lemur 2 — I wonder what new tools they might have in store for Season 8? Stay tuned!
