Embention is a high tech company working in the UAV field. It was funded in 2007 by David Benavente, and is based in Alicante, Spain.
The company develops components for UAV using a proprietary technology called Veronte Autopilot. This system is capable of controlling unmanned vehicles, such as fixed wing, helicopter, and multirotor vehicles, in order to perform fully autonomous operations.
Projects
In 2016, Embention announced a project called Drones Against Tsetse, which is aimed at reducing the prevalence of the disease trypanosomiasis by lowering tsetse fly populations in Ethiopia. The project uses the sterile insect technique for insect population control, whereby male insects are exposed to radiation which destroys their ability to breed, then they are released into the wild where they mate with females which then produce no offspring. In the Drones Against Tsetse project, the insects will be delivered via an unmanned aerial vehicle developed by Embention.
