Our Vision:
We will be the world’s leading developer of inspection, surveillance, and maintenance robots that operate where never before possible.
It begins with NASA
Entering the Commercial Drone space
Why We Exist
We are a mix of drone industry veterans and robotics engineers who combine knowledge of the industry’s needs with experience in building the solution. Our team has steadily grown, our focus has narrowed, and our robots have become increasingly capable. We are developing our first product for the inspection of hard-to-reach spaces in industrial environments. As a dual-use company, we are concurrently laying the foundation for a long-lasting existence as a defense contractor.
Where We’re Going
We will continue to revolutionize the robotics industry by taking robots to previously inaccessible environments. We will use our expertise to create and new applications for mobile robotics based on the needs of our customers and the industry, with a gradually broadening approach in the inspection, construction, security, public safety, and defense industries.
