On May 19, 2022, Flyability introduced the Elios 3, a groundbreaking indoor drone that is the first of its kind to combine collision tolerance with LiDAR technology for precise 3D mapping. This innovative device features a powerful new SLAM engine called FlyAware™, which enables real-time 3D modeling while flying, and comes with an updated version of its inspection software, Inspector 4.0. Since launching its first confined space inspection drone in 2016, Flyability has consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in industrial inspections. With the Elios 3, the company continues to lead the way by delivering advanced technology that keeps human workers out of hazardous environments and allows for more efficient, accurate, and cost-effective inspections. The Elios 3 was developed in response to the growing demand for reliable and consistent inspection tools. As industries increasingly rely on drones, they need systems that are easy to use, dependable, and capable of operating safely in sensitive and complex environments. The Elios 3 meets these needs with advanced stabilization, a modular design, and the ability to create detailed 3D models on the fly. "The Elios 3 represents a major leap forward in industrial drone technology," said Patrick Thévoz, co-founder and CEO of Flyability. "With its real-time 3D mapping, enhanced stability, and flexible payload options, it's a game-changer for inspections. It supports the goals of Industry 4.0 by making inspections safer, faster, and more affordable than ever before." Equipped with an Ouster OS0-32 LiDAR sensor, the Elios 3 allows inspectors to gather high-quality data for creating survey-grade 3D models. This data can be processed using GeoSLAM’s software, a key partner in this development. By combining cutting-edge LiDAR technology with robust geospatial software, the Elios 3 helps professionals map even the most challenging and dangerous areas with precision and confidence. In addition to its LiDAR sensor, the Elios 3 can carry a second payload, making it highly customizable for different inspection needs. Its proprietary FlyAware™ SLAM engine ensures exceptional stability by integrating data from three optical cameras and the LiDAR sensor, allowing the drone to detect and compensate for even the smallest movements in real time. Flyability’s new Inspector 4.0 software enhances the user experience by enabling inspectors to visualize points of interest in a high-resolution 3D map. This feature allows stakeholders to navigate through digital representations of their assets, making it easier to identify and address issues during planning, monitoring, and maintenance activities. "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 like a smartphone. It's designed to be adaptable, so users can attach the payloads they need and customize it to fit their specific tasks. Plus, it's built to evolve with future upgrades in both hardware and software." Flyability spent four years developing the Elios 3, investing thousands of hours into research and field testing. Over 200 missions were conducted to gather feedback and refine the technology, ensuring the final product is one of the most reliable indoor drones available on the market. As part of its development, Flyability collaborated with top universities around the world, including participation in DARPA’s Sub-T challenge, where the team won a multi-year competition focused on autonomous robotics in underground environments.
