Wisson Robotics, a leading global player in general-purpose soft robotics, is set to unveil its cutting-edge aerial soft robots at the prestigious CES 2025 event. Among the showcased innovations are the AP3-P3 for facade cleaning and the versatile AP30-N1 aerial manipulator, both featuring Wisson’s revolutionary Pliabot® arm. These advancements mark a significant leap in drones’ contact-based precision capabilities for aerial operations and promise to redefine the way industries approach tasks requiring intricate and delicate maneuvers.
The use of drones has proliferated in various sectors such as photography, surveying, and delivery in recent years. However, there is now a growing demand for more advanced functionalities, particularly contact-based operations that can have a substantial impact on objects. This necessitates equipment that is not only adaptable but also capable of maintaining stability in dynamic environments. Wisson Robotics has risen to this challenge by integrating its proprietary Pliabot® Technology into drones, giving rise to the groundbreaking “Orion” series of aerial soft robots.
The Orion series, consisting of the N, P, G, and D models, offers a wide range of contact-based capabilities including aerial grasping, transferring, placing, spraying, cleaning, and contact-based detection. By incorporating Pliabot® technology, these drones can execute precise operations during both hovering and flight, opening up new possibilities for industries such as high-altitude facade cleaning, renewable energy maintenance, emergency rescue, and environmental protection.
One standout product in the Orion series is the AP3-P3 Pliabot® Aerial Tethered Cleaning System, specifically designed for building facade cleaning and tower maintenance. This innovative system enhances operational efficiency, replacing traditional high-altitude workers and significantly reducing associated risks. Weighing just 1.3 kg, the AP3-P3 is equipped with a high-pressure pump and a Pliabot® gimbal for multi-angle adjustments, allowing it to access hard-to-reach areas with ease. The Pliabot® Technology enables the drone to minimize the impact of recoil or sway, ensuring adaptive balance and precise interactions with operational targets while minimizing collision risks and ensuring stability and safety during aerial tasks.
The Orion series has garnered widespread acclaim from clients, with its deployment in over 100 countries, regions, and cities across various industries such as facade cleaning, autonomous driving, new energy, logistics, urban management, marine services, and power grids. Wisson Robotics’ Pliabot® robots have proven instrumental in enhancing operational efficiency, safety, and overall user experience, underscoring the company’s commitment to innovation and excellence.
