DRONELIFE’s Media Picks at FIX2024: Highlighting Global Tech Innovations







The FIX2024 conference, South Korea’s premier technology showcase held in Daegu, brought together innovators from around the world. Known as the country’s version of CES, FIX2024 highlighted groundbreaking technologies across various sectors, from autonomous systems to AI-driven solutions. The FIX2024 Media Picks Award involved a diverse group of media outlets from every region of the globe, including DRONELIFE. (Yes, this is a great job – as you can see from the pictures below!) Each media outlet interviewed participants in their respective industries, evaluating them based on marketability, potential for global expansion, investment potential, and competitiveness.

A Diverse Lineup of Innovators

DRONELIFE’s list included companies from all areas of the industry: drones, precision agriculture, manufacturing, AAM, and vertiport infrastructure. Choosing the top 3 from this elite group was a major challenge. Among the contenders:TOFF MOBILITY is making waves as the sole Asian distributor of an all-electric RAM (Regional Air Mobility) product. This two-seater aircraft has a 70-mile (120 km) range and costs 40% less to operate than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. Currently in the process of receiving aircraft certification in Korea, TOFF MOBILITY is poised to revolutionize regional air travel with eco-friendly technology.

KAI (Korea Aerospace Industries) is in the early stages of Advanced Air Vehicle (AAV) development, with commercialization expected by 2031. Their AAVs, which have a 100-150 km range, are developed with support from government contracts. Over time, KAI expects to shift from military to predominantly commercial applications, supported by their combined thrust engineering and manufacturing expertise.

MUGYEOL E.N.G focuses on hydroforming precision engineering, producing significantly lighter products compared to traditional cast iron parts used in vehicles and appliances. This innovation provides a major advantage for low SWAP (size, weight, and power) applications like aircraft. Despite being only 3 years old, MUGYEOL E.N.G is already competing on an international level.
Sung il Electrical Co., Ltd. manufactures precision parts for automatic transmissions, robotics, and the EV charging ecosystem – like the chargers that will be utilized for the burgeoning AAM industry. With a history of supplying the military for tank production, this company has gained global recognition, exporting to European and APAC countries. Their ability to provide military-grade precision has positioned them well for future growth in both military and commercial markets as a reliable provider of critical components.

dSPACE Korea, a subsidiary of Germany-based dSPACE, specializes in real-time simulation and cloud-based processing for autonomous vehicle testing. dSPACE Korea started with testing traditional vehicles for Hyundai, then expanded into sensor technology and simulation for autonomous systems. Their solutions are vital to advancing autonomous vehicle technology.
SMARTGIO develops AI-based software that addresses the detection of tree diseases. Their solution combines flight planning with an AI-based comparison tool, enabling drones to autonomously collect and analyze data in an overlapping grid. This technology helps identify small variations in trees’ health, offering significant value to customers. While competition is expected internationally, SMARTGIO’s solution remains a competitive offering in the precision agriculture space.

DRONELIFE’s Top 3 Picks from FIX2024

rgblab

rgblab stands out for its product, Arion, a platform-agnostic drone “brain” that utilizes NVIDIA chips for powerful edge computing, essential for AI-driven applications. Arion is customizable for a wide range of commercial applications, including autonomous targeting for defense, inspection, and delivery services. While the company also manufactures drones, their business model allows for OEM of the system, a key differentiator in a market often dominated by vertically integrated drone manufacturers. rgblab’s focus on flexibility and customization places it at the forefront of global drone technology. Companies can come to RGB with an idea – and get a customized aircraft with the obstacle avoidance, sophisticated target tracking, and more already built in.

MORAI

MORAI provides simulators for advanced air mobility, using a digital twin to replicate any environment with precision. Their customer base includes research institutions, manufacturers, and autonomous aircraft developers. With clients in Germany and the US, MORAI expects to double its customer base annually. Their advanced simulation technology is essential for the continued growth and development of autonomous air mobility solutions.
Hyundai Elevator Co. Ltd.

Hyundai Elevator Co. Ltd. is leveraging its expertise in elevator technology to develop infrastructure for urban air mobility (UAM). They are working on takeoff, landing, charging, and maintenance platforms that can be built on top of existing buildings, solving space constraints in congested urban environments. Hyundai’s initiative is backed by their manufacturing expertise and government support, though global building codes may present a challenge in scaling the solution.

Global Innovation at its Best

FIX2024 was a remarkable display of technological progress across diverse sectors, from AI-based precision agriculture solutions to advancements in autonomous vehicles and urban air mobility. DRONELIFE’s Media Picks recognize these innovators for their potential to transform industries worldwide.

Biochemists create protocells to explore how lipids may have led to first cell membranes

Image
A team of biochemists at the University of California, San Diego, working with a group of biochemical engineers from the University of California, Los Angeles, has found that the development of short lipids might have led to the development of the first cell membranes on early Earth. In their study published in the journal Nature Chemistry , the group combined cysteine with chemical relatives of fatty acids to form lipids with two tails, finding clues about the origins of life on Earth. The research team reasoned that for cells to get their start on early Earth, some form of cell boundary must have formed first to protect cell contents from the environment. Noting that modern cell membranes are all made of lipids, the researchers wondered if the first cell membranes might have been made of lipids as well—and if that was the case, how they might have developed from simple molecules. They also noted that modern cell membranes are complex and generally long chained. Suspecting that earl...

From chaos to order: Proteins can re-structure themselves to create important substances

Image
The protein 'MIPS' changes its internal structure when it becomes active. Its disordered active centre becomes a defined structure with special functions. The protein plays a key role in the production of inositol, which is also known as vitamin B8, and fulfils important tasks in the body. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the National Hellenic Research Centre in Greece have succeeded for the first time in observing the protein as it re-structures. As the team reports in the scientific journal 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' (PNAS) this process appears to occur in many similar proteins. Proteins control all vital processes in every organism, for example growth and metabolism. A basic principle of protein research is that the structure of each protein determines its function. If the structure is impaired at just one specific point, the protein can no longer fulfil its function. In the human body, this can lead, for exam...
