HEROTECH8 delivers connected drone-in-a-box technology to support round-the-clock automated drone operations. Our solution enables industries to automatically deploy, recover and recharge drones without ever requiring human interaction to fly.
The revolutionary technology allows mass adoption and access to aerial inspection and monitoring capabilities, without the need for onsite pilots or teams. The systems can be accessed anywhere in the world by the users and can provide immediate live feed data at the touch of a button. By leveraging advances in IOT technologies, the entire operation of the remote access drone can be completed through cloud services and secure servers.
Vision
HEROTECH8 is a robotics and software development company, based between Cranfield (UK) and Berkeley (USA). The founding members developed the idea through the continued progression in remote system access, exploring the possibility of completely autonomizing the control and data management of a drone system. From the initial concept phase, HEROTECH8 now have customers all over the globe using the system across industries such as Border Control, Airport Security, Defence services, Construction and Facility Management, as well as Police and Emergency Services.
