May 19, 2022—Flyability has just introduced the Elios 3, a groundbreaking drone that marks a new era in indoor inspection technology. As the world's first collision-tolerant drone equipped with a LiDAR sensor, the Elios 3 is designed to create detailed 3D maps of indoor environments while flying. This innovation is powered by FlyAware™, a next-generation SLAM engine that enables real-time 3D modeling and is paired with the latest version of Flyability’s inspection software, Inspector 4.0. Since its inception in 2016, Flyability has been at the forefront of confined space inspection technology. The launch of the Elios 3 reaffirms the company’s commitment to developing advanced tools that keep humans out of hazardous environments and allow for more efficient and safer inspections. With industries increasingly relying on drones for complex tasks, the need for reliable, consistent, and stable solutions has never been greater. The Elios 3 was specifically built to meet these demands. It offers exceptional stability, a modular payload system, and real-time 3D mapping capabilities. These features make it ideal for use in sensitive and hard-to-reach areas where traditional methods fall short. The drone is not only powerful but also user-friendly, allowing even new operators to conduct inspections efficiently from day one. "The Elios 3 represents a major leap forward in industrial inspection technology," said Patrick Thévoz, co-founder and CEO of Flyability. "With its advanced stabilization, real-time 3D modeling, and compatibility with various payloads, it's a game-changer for Industry 4.0. It makes inspections safer, faster, and more cost-effective than ever before." Equipped with an Ouster OS0-32 LiDAR sensor, the Elios 3 can capture high-quality data for creating survey-grade 3D models. This data is processed using GeoSLAM’s software, enabling professionals to map areas that are otherwise inaccessible or too dangerous for human inspectors. The combination of LiDAR and advanced software allows for precise and accurate representations of complex environments, eliminating guesswork and improving decision-making processes. In addition to the LiDAR sensor, the Elios 3 supports a second payload, making it highly customizable to suit individual user needs. This flexibility ensures that the drone can be adapted for a wide range of applications across different industries. Its FlyAware™ SLAM engine further enhances performance by combining input from three optical cameras and the LiDAR sensor to maintain stability during flight, even in unpredictable conditions. With the new Inspector 4.0 software, users can now visualize Points of Interest (POIs) on a high-resolution 3D map. This feature allows stakeholders to navigate through digital representations of their assets, making it easier to identify and address defects. The ability to review and analyze inspection data in real time significantly improves planning, monitoring, and maintenance efforts. "The Elios 3 is the most ambitious project we've ever taken on," said Adrien Briod, CTO of Flyability. "If the Elios 2 was like a basic flip phone, the Elios 3 is a smartphone—highly customizable, versatile, and designed to grow with the needs of each user. It's not just a drone; it's a platform for future innovation." Flyability spent four years developing the Elios 3, conducting extensive research, testing, and field missions to refine the technology. Over 200 real-world inspections helped shape the final product, ensuring it meets the highest standards of reliability and performance. The company also collaborated with top universities and participated in the DARPA Sub-T challenge, further proving the drone's capabilities in autonomous robotics and underground environments.
