DroneDeploy Robotics
Automate your inspections with aerial and ground robots
Give your teams the power to schedule missions easily with docked drones and ground robots that automatically collect and upload your data – all in one AI-powered platform.
Automated visibility.Accelerated productivity.
Reality capture is critical to your project’s success, but labor shortages and technological complexities can throttle your team’s productivity.
By automating your docked drone flights and robotic walkthroughs or inspections, you can finally digitize your sites and assets without (always) needing to be physically on-site.
Select the area or assets you want inspected.
Schedule the time and frequency of your missions.
Our intuitive, end-to-end platform will do the rest.
AI in the sky (and on the ground)
DroneDeploy’s AI capabilities add vital context to your automated missions – building out high-res maps, analyzing 3D objects and detecting critical issues — to help turn the data you have into the insights you need.
Three solutions. One platform.
From high-accuracy mapping of critical infrastructure to inspecting time-sensitive gauges, DroneDeploy’s automated docked drone and ground robotics solutions scale up your visibility while dialing down man hours.

Dock Automation
Schedule autonomous docked drone flights to create a digital twin of your environment from the air.
Easily create, edit and control your docked drone flights — from takeoff to landing.
Upon mission completion, all aerial data is processed and uploaded automatically so you and your team can immediately see everything that’s going on with your site.

Robotic 360 Walkthrough
Create a ground-level digital walkthrough of your site from any location or construction phase. Simply define the walkthrough area on your floor plan – no need to manually set coordinates — and your robot automatically sets off to capture a complete, 360-degree view of your site.
Since captured data is automatically processed in the DroneDeploy platform, your stakeholders can immediately view the walkthrough via embedded public share links. And now that a human doesn’t have to physically walk the site, you’re able to increase mission frequency to give you continuous visibility.

Robotic Industrial Inspection
Robotic Industrial Inspection gives you frequent data on assets that need regular monitoring. With autonomous monitoring, you can centralize your inspections across multiple sites, robot form factors and sensor data, including thermal, zoom cameras and even gas measurements.
After inspected assets are automatically cataloged in DroneDeploy, you’re able to task your robot to inspect specific asset subsets so you can flag maintenance needs faster.
Then, both live and server-side AI will find the specific issues you’re looking for and run automated reporting that proactively engages your stakeholders to optimise operations, and reduce incidences and unexpected downtime.

The biggest industries, down to the smallest detail.
From inspecting assets in oil and gas facilities to tracking progress on large-scale earthworks projects, DroneDeploy unlocks the power of your ground-to-air robotics fleet.
A more productive perspective
Integrating drones and robotics creates a single source of reality so you can achieve consensus across your teams.
Both Dock Automation and Robotic 360 Walk are designed to bring field and office personnel onto the same screen by incorporating captured imagery with BIM execution plans.

You can search imagery by build date, geolocation data and other important metrics so you can track exactly what’s been completed and prove where the site isn’t matching the drawings – whether from the air or ground.
Walk-free walkthroughs: Turner Construction and Spot
Turner Construction equipped Boston Dynamics’ Spot with heavy payloads (PTZ cameras, thermal sensors) to track progress across a wide range of terrain on their work sites.

See your site the same way twice.
Leaks, debris, corrosion: these are the hidden dangers on every extraction site that demand your attention.
But even a slight, five-degree difference in perspective on your inspections can mean the difference between a blind spot and a prevented issue.
Our Robotic Industrial Inspection solution gives you the consistent perspective you need to catch what puts your site at risk.

Putting robots to work: Woodside Energy
Woodside, Australia’s largest oil and gas company, transformed their asset management system through an innovative robotics collaboration. Nicknamed Spector, the ground robot combines Boston Dynamics’ Spot with our Robotic Industrial Inspection solution to create a dynamic digital twin of their extraction facilities that tracks site fluctuations down to every gauge and sensor.

Remote sites, remote controlled.
Data on remote sites should come to you, not you to it.
With DroneDeploy, docked drones and ground robots can collect visuals of your assets without you needing to be physically present.
Schedule missions in advance, and feed your telemetry metadata like asset ID and location back to your systems in real time.
And during emergencies, our solution’s low latency gives you peace of mind that you can see the danger without putting any of your people in it.

Solar power, with 30% less manpower: Grid inspections with OnSight rovers
OnSight is a leading robotics company for the photovoltaic solar industry. By equipping rovers with rotating PTZ and thermal cameras, OnSight can inspect panels while the rover moves across solar grids that span multiple acres. As these rovers lock onto solar panels and scan barcodes, geolocated data is uploaded to DroneDeploy to be visualized in a high-resolution map.
To date, OnSight has used its rover to scan over 20,000 barcodes with 100% accuracy – and at a 30% faster rate than a human worker.
