Additionally, Elios 3 is powered by FlyAware, Flyability’s simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) engine, which combines computer vision, lidar technology and NVidia graphic engine, all of which result in centimeter-accurate indoor GPS for the drone. According to Flyability, the system enables the real-time 3D mapping of difficult to access environments.

Eventually, Flyability envisions using the technology to perform completely autonomous confined-space inspections.
