The unlikely pair founded 3D Robotics—the name alludes to the third axis, up, where consumer robots hadn`t yet traveled—with the initial goal of supplying a global hobbyist community. They assembled their first UAV kits by hand and hacked appliances, then stuffed them in pizza boxes for shipping. But by 2012 3DR`s business had grown well beyond the DIY community, so Chris quit his job at Wired to join Jordi as 3DR`s new CEO and guide the business, scaling up piece by piece to make something much bigger. Under Chris`s stewardship, 3DR’s global neurosystem of volunteers soon created a world-class universal flight code, called APM. In collaboration with the renowned Swiss research institute ETH Zurich, 3DR used this code to develop the Pixhawk, to this day the world`s leading open autopilot platform.The 3DR platform now powers systems for of the biggest and most successful UAV companies and research institutes around the world—NASA, for instance—and has been adopted by numerous companies who are changing the way we approach agriculture, real estate, construction, search and rescue, conservation and countless other human endeavors. Pixhawk powers all 3DR drones, the heart of a vigorous and sprawling global ecosystem that will continue to drive UAV innovation for years to come. The innovations in autopilot technology by the community members power many top consumer and commercial drones today, as well as tens of thousands of personal projects.
