Voliro aims to provide innovative UAVs with unique capabilities. The startup offers solutions where aerial physical interaction is needed for applications such as contact-based inspection of infrastructure, painting and cleaning.
With this seed round, Voliro will accelerate the development of its industrial grade flying inspection robots. The robots are capable of performing in-depth structural integrity assessments using advanced inspection technologies. This minimizes human operators’
exposure to hazardous environments while ensuring high quality inspection data. Voliro’s flying robots, with the unique and patent-pending capability to approach structures at any orientation, can significantly reduce inspection costs and time, while offering various Non-Destructive Testing capabilities.
Mina Kamel, CEO and Co-founder of Voliro AG, states: “We are very happy and excited to welcome the new investors onboard. Together we are revolutionizing work at height. Critical infrastructure in many industries is aging and it is essential to develop innovative ways to perform regular inspections and maintenance, to ensure the safety and integrity of structures.”
Voliro won Venture Kick stage II in 2018 and ranked amond the TOP 100 Swiss startups in 2020.
