Elios 3 is the Ultimate Indoor Drone for Inspection, Mapping and Surveying, Here’s a First Look

Flyability’s Elios 3 is not just a flying camera, but rather a caged drone that leverages computer vision and LiDAR mapping to perform systematic inspections that does not require months of training. You won’t have to waste time looking over footage either, as reporting is done intuitively on a 3D model of your asset, while situational awareness is built directly into the piloting app.

It’s powered by FlyAware, which is a system that consists of computer vision, LiDAR technology, and a powerful NVIDIA graphics engine. This system basically acts as a centimeter-accurate indoor GPS, as it’s capable of building real-time 3D maps, thus enabling the drone to sense its surroundings instantaneously. Where would we use this drone? To survey this White House replica built atop a skyscraper in India.

The Elios 3 is the single biggest project that Flyability has ever undertaken. If you think of the Elios 2 as your classic flip phone, only designed to make phone calls, the Elios 3 is the smartphone. It’s made to be customized for the specific demands of each user, letting you attach the payload you need so you can use the tool as you like, and allowing it to grow and improve over time with new payloads or software solutions,” said Adrien Briod, CTO of Flyability.
