Voliro, a leading aerial robotics<\/a><\/strong> company, has secured $12 million in its Series A funding round<\/strong> , backed by Cherry Ventures and other investors. This new capital will help the Swiss company expand the use of its advanced drones<\/a><\/strong> in industrial inspections<\/strong> , where maintenance at height is a costly and dangerous challenge. <\/p>\n\n

Since its creation in 2019, Voliro has developed flying robots<\/a><\/strong> equipped with an innovative tilting rotor system, allowing them to operate accurately on any surface, even the most difficult ones. These drones have been adopted by major companies such as Chevron<\/a><\/strong> and Holcim<\/a><\/strong> , which use the technology to reduce the risks and costs associated with traditional inspections. <\/p>\n\n
