ELIOS
The world’s first commercial collision-tolerant Drone
Discover the first collision-tolerant flying robot, designed for industrial inspection professionals. Allowing for the first time access to complex, cluttered or indoor places, Elios is unleashing the potential of UAVs in a number of applications where their use was previously too dangerous or simply impossible.
Elios was used in the emergency repair of Llevant collector (sewer) to assess the real impact of its breakage along the beach of Mora de Badalona (Barcelona), Spain.
Elios was qualified “very useful” by the company to inspect the interior of the pipe affected by the storm last weekend and obtain reliable information on its state of conservation. Indeed, Elios is built to reach places that are difficult to access or require strict security measures.
This type of drone could potentially revolutionize a lot of different industries, with its more robust structure, which makes it a lot more durable.
