Technology innovations in unmanned vehicle systems have been racing ahead, but commercial applications have been held back by aviation and maritime regulations. With recent legislative changes, the commercial industry has been opened wide for additional R&D of automated systems; AUVSI Xponential 2017 is the place this all comes together.

Xponential is the largest global community of leaders in drones, intelligent robotics, and unmanned systems coming together to shape the future of the automated industry.
Samtec will be at AUVSI Xponential May 9-11 at Booth 1941.
We will be featuring several micro rugged, power, RF, high-speed connectors and cables supporting the requirements necessary in demanding automated systems.
Some examples include the following:
