Next-Generation Sky Workers: Using Aerial Robotic Systems to replace humans working at elevation

Why use cranes, scaffolding, or rope when you can use a next-generation contact-based sky worker aerial robotic system at nearly any height.  New Sky Workers such as the Aerial Robotic systems by Apellix are changing the time, economics, and safety of projects.

Apellix creates next-generation toolkits for impossible jobs - starting with our “Sky Worker” the Opus X4 NDE (non-destructive examination) system for a contact-based aerial platform for the industrial and built environment using computer-controlled drones that "do work". Under full computer control our systems apply paint at elevation, take contact-based measurement thicknesses on Oil & Gas, infrastructure, and other assets, and increase worker safety while collecting a depth and breadth of data never before available. We then apply Machine Learning and AI to the data. The Opus X8 W (washing) system can clean elevated water towers and more and the Opus X8 SPD (Spray Painting Drone) is designing to paint 13,000 ft2 per hour (human painters coat 500-700 ft2 per hour).

Aerial Robotic Systems and the War on Corrosion

We live in a time when the fantastic has become ordinary. We have “magical flying machines” straight out of science fiction, cars that drive themselves, and an architecturally complex built world that has sprung up around us. Our telephones are pocket computers and almost anything we can imagine we can build, the pandemic notwithstanding. This very technology underlying these innovations is needed, and in use, for an ongoing war that’s right before our eyes… unseen but very real. This enemy fells bridges, sinks ships, sparks fires, and nearly brought down the Statue of Liberty. This war is against corrosion. Read more…
