Kennedy, no other system comes close to the reliability of ExynAero, which has impressed Australian underground surveyors with its exceptional after-sales support. He also highlighted Exyn’s commitment to research and development, as evidenced by regular software updates with improved functionality. Exyn’s groundbreaking Level 4 Autonomy has placed them ahead of their competition.
Exyn Technologies has also secured investment from Aero X Ventures, an early-stage venture firm specializing in aerospace and defense technologies. This investment will further fuel Exyn’s innovation and expansion into new markets, solidifying their position as a market leader in autonomous robotics.
Ben Williams, COO of Exyn, expressed excitement about having Aero X Ventures and C.R.
