Voliro
ETH Zurich (Autonomous Systems Lab) spin-off building the Voliro T, a tilt-rotor aerial robot whose patented 360-degree tiltable rotors let it apply stable contact force to structures for contact-based non-destructive testing (ultrasonic thickness, EMAT, pulsed eddy current, dry-film-thickness, LPS testing) on flare stacks, wind turbines, chimneys and other hard-to-reach assets. As of the 2025 Series A extension the fleet had 40+ customers across 17 countries performing 100+ contact inspections monthly.
