ABI Zero is our prototype autonomous drone for indoor industrial inspections. 

We empower people to collect data at rates and locations previously unobtainable all reducing their need to work in dangerous or hard to reach areas. 

Meet ABi Zero

ABI Zero is...

  • An indoor autonomous drone for data capture
  • A flying platform to produce high quality 3D maps
  • Equipped with a high resolution camera, thermal imager, 360 camera, 3D scanner, and environmental sensors
  • Completely autonomous without the need for GPS or a Pilot
  • The device to deliver automatic geo-tagged asset reports
  • Available with corresponding Base Station for automatic self-charging
  • Available for demo now through our Pilot Program

Applications

Indoor Autonomous Inspections at Heights

  • Eliminate personnel fall hazard
  • Get up close inspections, safely and easily for the best data collection
  • No costly worker safety setups, worker permitting and training, or infrastructure required
  • Automatically generate a complimentary 3D map scan with geo-anchored photos, videos and thermography to help make post inspection analysis more efficient

Indoor Autonomous Route Based Inspections

  • Flexible, scalable, systematic and reliable data collection that results in reduced downtime and operating costs
  • Fully autonomous data capture means that the data you need can be captured around the clock
  • Capture necessary data at rates and locations previously unavailable 

Autonomous Confined Space Inspections

  • Eliminate risk to personnel
  • Automatically generate a complimentary 3D map scan with geo-anchored photos, videos and thermography to help make post inspection analysis more efficient
  • No costly worker safety setups, worker permitting and training, or infrastructure required

ABOUT US

Just as the clear vitreous gel transports light and gives structure to our eyes, at Vtrus, we are engineering the visible and invisible aspects of perception that will shape the future of spatially-aware, socially engaged, human-friendly devices.

Our growing and diverse team of designers, scientists and engineers are bound by a common set of principles:

1.png

BUILD OFTEN. TEST FAST.

We iterate on our iterations after we're done iterating. Taking on challenges piece-wise allows us to quickly break the paradigm and build it back better.

2.png

TEACH. LEARN. SUCCEED.

We pride ourselves on being able to learn from each other and our partners to amplify the scope and impact of our work.

3.png

WE ARE MULTI-DISCIPLINARY HACKERS

We use what we can find, but more often than not we're modifying it for the perfect fit.

4.png

SOCIALLY ENGAGED. HUMAN FRIENDLY.

We believe in the power of connected devices to improve our lives through their cooperation amongst themselves and with us.
