Robotics Capabilities

Survey support, measured in hours — not days.

Our drones simplify the surveying process. What once took multiple days to survey on a large job site can now be accomplished within hours — with a single drone doing the work of a truckload of equipment.

What it is

The field day, reinvented

Surveyors typically rely on reference points to achieve the most accurate measurements. Traditional field days involve setting up expensive, heavy, and fragile equipment, then dismantling and relocating it to new reference points. The process is time consuming and costly — exacerbated by the current shortage of surveyors in the country.

Instead of transporting bulky equipment in large trucks, a single drone can perform the job efficiently, minimizing the number of survey points required to be geolocated.

Modern drones adapt to various tasks by adding or removing payloads as needed — high-resolution visual cameras, LiDAR, and Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) / Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) modules — so one aircraft covers work that once demanded several crews and setups.

When to use it

Where drone-assisted survey wins

USE CASE — 01

Large-area topographic survey

Sites that would take crews multiple days of set-up, dismantle and relocation flown in a matter of hours.

USE CASE — 02

Corridor & right-of-way work

Roadways, rail and utility corridors captured without repeatedly leapfrogging instruments between reference points.

USE CASE — 03

Constrained crew availability

When the national surveyor shortage bites, one pilot and one aircraft extend what a licensed crew can certify in a week.

USE CASE — 04

Hazardous or active sites

Live traffic, rail, water and steep terrain surveyed from the air — no personnel standing in the danger zone holding a rod.

USE CASE — 05

Vegetated & complex terrain

LiDAR payloads reach ground surfaces through canopy where photogrammetry alone cannot.

USE CASE — 06

Repeat & verification surveys

PPK/RTK repeatability makes periodic re-flights fast and directly comparable — ideal for earthwork tracking and settlement checks.

Platform fit

Survey-grade positioning across the fleet

Survey support is led by RTK/PPK aerial capture, extended indoors and underwater by specialist platforms.

PRIMARY — AERIAL

Skydio X10

The core survey platform. RTK/PPK positioning delivers survey-grade geolocation with a minimum of ground control, telephoto and medium RGB cameras feed dense photogrammetry, and 3D Scan autonomy guarantees complete coverage of the site or structure.

GPS-DENIED / INTERIOR

Flyability Elios 3

Survey-grade LiDAR keeps mapping where satellites can't reach — inside tanks, tunnels, culverts and structures — tying interior geometry back into the exterior survey.

UNDERWATER

Deep Trekker Revolution

USBL positioning geolocates the ROV below the surface while multibeam sonar captures bathymetry and submerged structure — extending the survey beneath the waterline.

Deliverables

What you receive

01

Point clouds

LiDAR and photogrammetric point clouds tied to project control via PPK/RTK.

02

Topographic surfaces

DTMs, DSMs, contours and breaklines ready for civil design packages.

03

Orthomosaics

High-resolution georeferenced ortho imagery as a measurable planimetric base.

04

Bathymetric data

Multibeam sonar surfaces and USBL-positioned underwater observations where scopes go below the waterline.
