About us
Aerobotics7 builds autonomous AI-enabled Drone-Tech that can remotely detect and identify landmines, UXOs, and other similar buried explosives such as Explosives Remnants of War (ERWs). Unlike the current manual demining approach, it is significantly safer and more than 50x faster than traditional approaches. It has the capability of detecting modern composite (plastic-based) landmines and explosives, which are undetected by current methods. It also gives users accurate positioning of mines and even the capability of remotely detonating them. Aerobotics7 has been recognized by world leaders, Nobel laureates, and international organizations.
Our Team Values:
- Solving some of the biggest global and technological challenges.
- Challenging the status quo; and likes being challenged with complex problems.
- Collaborating with like-minded leaders and builders!
- Being part of a paradigm shift: Disrupting a decades-old traditional and life-threatening process of demining.
- Inspiring others!
