General information

Short Summary
The Spanish company develops cutting-edge autonomous flying robots designed for digitalizing and inspecting challenging indoor and underground environments.

These robots operate independently without GPS, radio communication, or pilots, even in adverse conditions like high humidity, darkness, and toxic gases, ensuring faster, safer, and more accurate inspections of critical infrastructure.
Full Description
The Spanish company specializes in designing, developing, and deploying autonomous aerial robots that excel in the digitalization and inspection of challenging indoor and underground infrastructures. These include wastewater collectors, hydropower penstocks, mining facilities, abandoned tunnels, and more. Their patented technology allows their robots to navigate independently in GNSS-denied environments, without the need for GPS, radio communication, or pilots. They operate flawlessly in extreme conditions, including complete darkness, high humidity, and the presence of toxic gases, ensuring precise, efficient, and safe inspections.

Their advanced systems generate high-resolution georeferenced point clouds and panoramic images, enabling the creation of 3D models and detailed pathology reports in compliance with European standards (UNE-EN 13508-2). All collected data is accessible via user-friendly cloud platforms and standard formats compatible with industry tools, making the digitalization process seamless and accessible. With their pay-per-use operational model, clients can achieve cost-efficient solutions, eliminating the need for capital-intensive investments.

Founded in 2016, the Spanish company began with a focus on mining applications and has since expanded to serve industries such as hydropower, water utilities, and civil construction. By addressing critical infrastructure challenges that traditional methods cannot, they provide faster, safer, and more accurate solutions for their clients.

Their headquarters in Madrid, spanning over 1000 square meters, house a dynamic team of over 10 talented engineers, drone pilots, and UX designers. This dedicated team handles every stage of the process, from design and unit construction to testing and data processing, ensuring quality and customization for each project.

Use cases for their technology include sewer digitalization, abandoned tunnel rehabilitation, Crossrail tunnel mapping, and hydropower penstock inspections. These applications showcase the versatility and reliability of their drones in diverse and demanding environments.

As a trusted partner in digitalizing critical infrastructure, the Spanish company continues to innovate and redefine what’s possible in underground and indoor environments. Their goal is to make infrastructure inspections safer, more efficient, and accessible for all industries.
