AERAS

Aerial manipulation for the future

AERAS: Aerial Effector Robot with Adaptive Stabilisation.

The first specialised drone with a robotic manipulator arm.

Capable of reaching elevated areas with speed and physically interacting with surfaces to perform dangerous tasks.

One Design, Countless Applications

AERAS features

Accurate and precise control

Positional and dynamic stability, counteracting turbulence and pushback forces.

Flexibility and dexterity

Using a conventional drone as the manipulator platform offers 100% worksite access compared to existing methods.

Proprietary technology

Combining the latest in Edge AI and Machine Learning technologies to execute manipulation tasks efficiently.

Complete pilot experience

Camera systems and a multitude of sensors provide pilot full support and vision of flight and manipulation operations.

Operations Centre

Stable flight is achieved through an amalgam of complex algorithms and control systems in conjunction with Invictus’ bespoke hardware, tailored to software parameters allowing for maximum efficiency and performance.

Smooth sailing, always.

Invictus’ proprietary control system enables easy operation of the 6 D.o.F robotic manipulator.

This core feature allows AERAS to be able to undertake a multitude of tasks, ranging from NDT Contact Inspections to painting, to spraying tasks, to cable pulling.

Note the stabilization of the end effector due to Invictus’ Adaptive Manipulation algorithms.

Arm operation

AI Systems

AERAS’ camera system enables AI Depth Perception and Spatial Mapping.

These systems use complex computational learning to assist in object detection and collision avoidance during flight and arm operations.

Making all tasks at height safer.

Live stereo vision

AERAS comprises a pair of AI depth perception cameras.

These cameras allow the operator to possess real-time feeds of operations being undertaken at height.

This enables workers to undertake dangerous tasks from ground-level.

The Full Tech Stack

Careful mechanical design and geometric feature choices constitute AERAS’ bespoke hardware package.

Hardware

Software

A variety of sensor inputs and computational systems counteract turbulence and pushback forces.

Firmware

Invictus’ full proprietary tech stack allows for the seamless marriage between AERAS’ hardware and software.

Bespoke Optionality

Due to AERAS’ unique plug-and-play capabilities, modifications to client requirements can be made.
