Flyability Elios 3 – Indoor Inspection, Mapping & Surveying Drone
The Flyability Elios 3 – Indoor Surveying Drone is the world’s first indoor drone that combines real-time LiDAR mapping with robust inspection capabilities, delivering unmatched operational efficiency, safety, and digital intelligence. Designed for confined and GPS-denied environments, it revolutionizes asset management in industries like power generation, mining, oil & gas, and infrastructure.
Equipped with the proprietary FlyAware™ SLAM engine, Elios 3 enables centimeter-accurate indoor positioning and mapping. It generates real-time 3D models and high-resolution visuals with a 4K camera, thermal imaging, and 3D point cloud capabilities—all while being crash-resistant and operable by users of any skill level.
Key Features of Flyability Elios 3 – Indoor Surveying Drone
- Modular Payload Bay: Has two ports—one for LiDAR, one for auxiliary payloads—compatible with UT probes, radiation sensors, gas sensors, GPS modules, and more for future-proof.
- Smart Return-to-Home: Autonomous Return-to-Signal/Home ensures safe navigation back if signal is lost or battery is low, using live LiDAR-sensing.
Advanced Surveying Payload: Uses Ouster REV7 LiDAR and FARO Connect to produce survey-grade point clouds (±6 mm precision), ideal for mapping tunnels, stockpiles, and inaccessible interiors. - FlyAware™ SLAM Engine: Fuses LiDAR, computer vision, and Nvidia GPU to deliver real-time 3D localization—acts as indoor GPS.
- 3D Live Map: Instantly visualizes trajectory and inspection coverage in confined spaces.
- SLAM-Based Stabilization: Rock-solid flight stability using visual-inertial odometry and LiDAR, even in turbulent or dark conditions.
- Survey-Grade 3D Mapping: LiDAR data compatible with GeoSLAM software for post-processing into high-resolution point clouds.
- Modular Payload Bay: Features dual ports for LiDAR and auxiliary sensors, ensuring future upgradeability.
- Rugged & Collision-Resistant: IP44-equivalent sealed design with reversing motors and carbon-fiber cage for safe flight in harsh, confined environments.
- Extended Air-Time: Up to 12.5 minutes (no payload); 9.1 minutes with LiDAR.
- Close-Up Visual Inspection: 4K camera, thermal imaging, and a distance sensor with 180° field of view and oblique lighting.
- Dust-Proof 16K Lumen Lighting: Powerful, intelligent lighting system optimized for low-visibility environments.
Applications of Flyability Elios 3
- Industrial Inspection: Boilers, pressure vessels, storage tanks, chimneys, silos, sewers, tunnels, and more.
- Mining & Underground Mapping: Digitize inaccessible areas like galleries, shafts, and stopes.
- Surveying & Mapping: Create survey-grade 3D models of confined infrastructure.
- Maintenance & Asset Integrity: Detect cracks, corrosion, delamination, and pitting with 4K imagery and 3D data fusion.
- Public Safety & Emergency Response: Inspect structures post-disaster or in hazardous conditions without risk to personnel.
- Confined space inspections: Pipelines, tanks, sewers, chimneys, mine shafts, construction interiors. Elios 3 is perfect for sewers. It is capable of flying in sewers down to 800 mm diameter with perfect stability.
- 3D surveying & digital twins: Rapid, centimeter-level mapping of challenging spaces such as warehouses, tunnels, stockpiles.
- Asset inspection & maintenance: Detect cracks, corrosion, build-up with close-up visual/thermal imaging.
- Nuclear, chemical, mining industries: safely inspect hazardous areas using LiDAR, radiation, gas, and UT sensors.
- Volume & stockpile measurement: Precise inventory tracking in cement plants or aggregate stockpiles.
Why It Stands Out
- Ease-of-Use: No steep learning curve—SIAM stabilization means even novices can fly confidently
- All-in-One Platform: Combines visual, LiDAR, thermal, ultrasonic, gas, and radiation capabilities in one drone.
- Resilience: Robust enough for rough industrial environments with frequent crashes.
- Data-Driven: 3D mapping and cloud integration streamline workflows and enable digital transformation.
