Lausanne-based robotics startup Flybotix, which creates drones and software for confined-space inspections in industrial and civilian settings, has secured $10 million in a Series A extension round, as Vestbee was informed.
- Founded in 2019 by Samir Bouabdallah and Alexandre Cherpillod, Flybotix develops drone-based solutions for the inspection of confined spaces in industrial and civilian assets.
- The company’s flagship product, the ASIO X, is a dual-rotor drone designed to operate in tight or hazardous environments, reducing the need for human entry into potentially dangerous areas.
- The drone collects high-resolution visual data and integrates with Flybotix’s SaaS platform, which enables on-site data validation and centralized management using AI analytics.
- This combination allows operators to perform regular inspections, detect structural or operational issues early, and make informed maintenance decisions, improving both safety and operational efficiency.
