Explore Intelligent Robotics for Hard-to-Reach Environments

Cleo Robotics provides compact, AI-enabled aerial robotic systems designed to help public-sector agencies and commercial organizations inspect, understand, and operate in environments that are difficult, dangerous, or costly for people to access.

Cleo’s Dronut platform is purpose-built for confined, complex, and GPS-denied spaces where conventional drones are often too large, vulnerable to collisions, or unable to navigate reliably. Its enclosed, collision-tolerant design allows operators to fly safely near people, equipment, walls, and sensitive infrastructure. Integrated cameras, lighting, LiDAR, onboard sensing, and autonomy capabilities enable the system to capture actionable visual and three-dimensional data while reducing the need to place personnel in hazardous areas.

For public-sector customers, Cleo’s technology can support defense, public safety, border security, emergency response, infrastructure assessment, and search operations. Agencies can use the Dronut to gain situational awareness inside buildings, tunnels, vessels, underground spaces, and other environments where visibility and communications may be limited. By deploying a robot ahead of personnel, teams can better understand potential hazards, identify obstacles, assess structural conditions, and make more informed operational decisions. The platform’s small size and ease of deployment also allow it to be carried and operated by individual teams without requiring large support equipment.

Commercial customers use Cleo’s systems to improve inspection efficiency and reduce downtime across industrial facilities, power-generation assets, maritime vessels, manufacturing plants, utilities, mines, and other critical infrastructure. The Dronut can access areas that may otherwise require scaffolding, confined-space entry, shutdowns, or specialized inspection equipment. This helps organizations collect data faster, conduct inspections more frequently, and reduce exposure to safety risks.

Cleo’s platform is designed to support both remote piloting and increasingly autonomous workflows, including mapping, localization, guided data collection, and repeatable inspection paths. Captured data can be used for condition assessment, maintenance planning, documentation, and long-term asset monitoring. Customers retain ownership of the data generated during operations and can integrate inspection outputs into their existing engineering, maintenance, or asset-management processes.

By combining a highly maneuverable robotic platform with advanced sensing and autonomy, Cleo helps organizations extend human reach, improve worker safety, lower inspection costs, and obtain better information from places that have historically been difficult to inspect.
