Our autonomous drones can automatically manage both the flight functions (takeoff, mission, landing) and their recharging. They can be operational 24 hours a day without human intervention. Our A.I. COGITO platform autonomously manages the most delicate phases of the mission, relating to the entry and exit from the docking station for the shelter and automatic recharging of drones. Specific customizations are available for VTOLs equipped with wings that allow surveillance over large areas with long autonomy for each individual flight.

Archon Autonomous Drones for PV inspection

The services are accessible anywhere in the world through an easy-to use web interface.

• COGITO Neural Network interfaced
• No need to pilot the drones. Flying cameras move automatically.
• A.I. switches between multiple drones to guarantee continuance of service.
• Highly secure communication and robot control (encryption/authentication).
• Future: automatic intrusion detection, Virtual control/visualization center

Every drone is capable of flying and hovering vertically like an helicopter and to safely land with motorized wheels, for recharging.

Two kind of drones can be used, depending on the size of the plant:

• small quadcopters (1)
• hybrid quad-planes (2)

Services

• On-demand thermal/visual inspection of any panel at high resolution.
• On-demand video/thermal monitoring of the site (e.g. alarm verification).
• Recurrent random patrols (video-surveillance).
