Robotics Capabilities
Scanning & mapping, accurate to the millimeter.
Equipped with state-of-the-art camera systems and LiDAR technology, Gedeon GRC's drones go beyond simple photography to capture intricate scans and maps in any direction — with exceptional positional accuracy as low as 1 mm.
What it is
Reality capture in visual and thermal spectra
By leveraging cutting-edge photogrammetry software in conjunction with our high-definition cameras, we deliver high-resolution 3D models in both the visual and thermal spectra — not flat photographs, but measurable, navigable reconstructions of the site as it actually exists.
Because our platforms scan in any direction — up into bridge soffits, sideways along facades, down through shafts, and underwater across bed and bulkhead — coverage isn't limited to what a downward-facing mapping camera can see.
This technology provides our engineers and clients with highly detailed and accurate site data, enabling them to address the most complex engineering and construction challenges effectively and efficiently.

When to use it
Where a model beats a measurement
Existing-conditions capture
Document a structure or site exactly as it stands before design begins — no return trips for the dimension nobody wrote down.
Complex geometry
Soffits, facades, interiors and confined structures where scans in any direction succeed and top-down mapping falls short.
Thermal mapping
3D models in the thermal spectrum reveal moisture, heat loss and anomalies across an entire envelope in spatial context.
Engineering analysis & BIM
Highly detailed, accurate site data feeding design models, clash checks and the most complex engineering and construction challenges.
Underwater & GPS-denied spaces
Multibeam sonar and LiDAR map bulkheads, tanks, culverts and tunnels where neither cameras nor GPS can operate alone.
Quantities & volumes
Stockpiles, excavations and pours measured from the model — repeatably, and without staff walking the pile.
Platform fit
Three scanners, one coordinated model
Scanning and mapping draws on the whole fleet — each platform covers terrain the others can't.
Flyability Elios 3
Survey-grade LiDAR is this platform's headline sensor: collision-tolerant flight carries it through tanks, culverts and interiors, producing georeferenced point clouds of GPS-denied spaces, with 4K RGB and radiometric thermal texturing the model.
Skydio X10
3D Scan autonomy plans full photogrammetric coverage of structures and sites on its own; telephoto and medium RGB cameras feed high-definition photogrammetry, thermal adds the second spectrum, and RTK/PPK ties the model to survey coordinates.
Deep Trekker Revolution
Multibeam sonar maps submerged structures and bottom conditions regardless of visibility, USBL positioning georeferences the data, and 4K RGB with lighting textures what the water allows.
