Hello ModalAI Team,

It was great seeing your demonstrations and products at XPONENTIAL 2026. We were impressed by the compact VOXL platform, multi-camera VIO, and GPS-denied indoor autonomy capabilities.

We are developing software and AI layers for autonomous drones, leveraging PX4, onboard computer vision, VIO/SLAM, obstacle avoidance, and single- and multi-camera systems. We are interested in evaluating whether VOXL 2, VOXL 2 Mini, or one of your development drones would be a good fit.

A few key questions:
• Which platform would you recommend for multi-camera VIO, obstacle avoidance, and custom AI development?
• Can we stream real-time video, VIO pose, MAVLink telemetry, depth data, and custom AI results to our own intelligent ground control station?
• Can VOXL operate with an external PX4-compatible flight controller, or do you recommend the integrated ModalAI flight-control architecture?
• Could you provide suggested evaluation hardware, pricing, and current lead times?

Would it be possible to schedule a brief call with a sales or applications engineer to discuss our requirements and potential evaluation purchase?
Thank you, and we look forward to learning more about your platform.
