Applications

Capability begins with a clear purpose.

Our robots go where people shouldn’t go first. They check gas and radiation, map mines and buildings in 3D, and stream the live view to the operator.

Across mining, industry, security, research, and emergency response, the starting point is the same: understand the work before defining the system.

01 · Exploration and geological mapping

Extend the field team’s perspective.

Aerial surveys and georeferenced observations could help teams document terrain, examine surface features, and select locations for further investigation.

Meridian · Cirrus · MetalCore

02 · Sampling and field verification

Preserve the context behind every result.

Robotic collection could support consistent sampling records and maintain the connection between collection location, handling, sample identity, and laboratory findings.

03 · Equipment and infrastructure inspection

Make changes easier to recognize.

Repeatable visual, thermal, acoustic, gas, and radiation readings help teams follow conditions over time and spot what needs attention.

Vigil · Cirrus · Soma

04 · Terrain and stockpile monitoring

Measure the site as it evolves.

Repeated surveys could support terrain comparison, stockpile measurement, and documentation of changes across operating areas.

05 · Ground preparation and access

Prepare the way for the next operation.

A tracked platform with a front blade could support loose-material clearing, surface leveling, and access-route preparation through controlled movement and operator supervision.

Relevant system
Nox

06 · Drill-core analysis

Build a richer geological record.

Robotic handling and scanning could connect core imagery, instrument measurements, and sample identity within a consistent digital workflow.

07 · Excavation and material handling

Bring greater control to physical work.

Robotic excavation could support digging, trench preparation, and material movement within defined work areas, informed by terrain sensing and supervised tool control.

Relevant system
Aster

08 · Security and site patrol

Maintain awareness across the perimeter.

Ground and aerial patrol concepts could help security teams observe selected routes, assess unusual activity, and review visual and thermal evidence remotely.

09 · Mapping and territory scanning

Give the landscape a consistent frame of reference.

3D scans of terrain, mines, and buildings support mapping, planning, and comparison over time.

Relevant systems
Meridian · Cirrus

10 · Emergency response and recovery

Build understanding before the next move.

Aerial, legged, and tracked systems could support assessment of affected areas, access-route mapping, light-obstacle handling, and small-supply transport under team supervision.
