Wheelies - Autonomous UAV & Robotics Control Systems

Wheelies - Autonomous UAV & Robotics Control Systems

Target audience

Manufacturers of robotic systems

Wheelies allows manufacturers to quickly bring new models to the market without the need to develop software for UAV control. The platform supports different devices, accelerates the integration of AI functions, and reduces R&D costs, turning devices into a ready-made autonomous and technological solution.

UAVs

For drone manufacturers, the key challenge is not the aircraft itself, but the software part. Wheelies takes over flight control, mission planning, telemetry and video processing, and analytics integration. This allows the manufacturer to focus on the hardware: aerodynamics, payload, and energy efficiency. As a result, the drone is immediately available on the market not as a "camera device" but as a ready-made solution for monitoring, inspection, or security tasks.

Humanoids

Wheelies can act as a control and coordination layer: planning actions, processing sensor data, integrating with external systems and scenarios. This enables manufacturers to move more quickly from a demonstration prototype to a practical device. The robot is not limited to movement — it can perform specific tasks such as area inspection, delivery, and interaction with equipment. The platform also helps integrate humanoid robots into a unified infrastructure. They become part of a single system together with drones and ground-based devices, rather than a separate experimental product.

Mobile Platforms

Ground robots and wheeled platforms are most commonly used in real-world operations: warehouses, industrial facilities, energy sector, and security. Wheelies provides a ready-made foundation for navigation, task management, and interaction with other systems. The platform enables the execution of regular routes, coordination of multiple devices, and centralized data collection. For manufacturers, this means the device can immediately be marketed as part of a complete solution. As a result, mobile platforms reach commercial deployment faster instead of remaining at the pilot stage.

Businesses Using Drones

Wheelies shifts companies from manual control to autonomous operations with predictable outcomes, reduces dependence on personnel, lowers operational costs, and ensures transparent mission control through drone software.

Construction & Infrastructure

Wheelies helps monitor construction progress and compliance with safety standards through continuous site surveillance.

Applications:

  • Construction progress monitoring
  • 3D modeling of facilities
  • Detection of deviations from schedules and standards
  • Workforce activity monitoring

Case example:

Construction companies use drones to compare actual progress with approved project documentation. This enables timely detection of errors and deviations, reducing downtime and rework. Implementing this technology helps shorten construction timelines and reduce the number of mistakes.

Geodesy and Cartography

Autonomous drones powered by Wheelies accelerate accurate data collection and mapping processes for project planning.

Applications:

  • Topographic surveying and 3D terrain modeling
  • Creation of detailed territorial maps
  • Integration of data with GIS systems
  • Mineral exploration and mine planning map development

Case example:

Geodesy companies use UAVs to survey areas and create high-precision 3D maps, reducing field operation costs and accelerating data analysis.

Environmental Monitoring

Wheelies enables real-time monitoring of forests, water bodies, and protected areas, with rapid response capabilities in case of emergencies.

Applications:

  • Early detection of wildfires and floods
  • Continuous ecosystem monitoring
  • Detection of illegal activities
  • Tracking animal behavior and migration

Case example:

Organizations use drones for regular aerial inspections to detect anomalies. The system automatically identifies critical signals, reducing ecological damage and optimizing emergency response resources.

Mineral Exploration

Wheelies simplifies operations in hard-to-reach and hazardous regions, accelerating subsurface studies, evaluation, exploration, and discovery of mineral deposits for future industrial development.

Applications:

  • Surveying remote territories
  • Collecting sensor data and video streams
  • Terrain mapping and mineral deposit identification
  • Monitoring erosion processes

Case example:

Companies conduct exploration missions using drones to create 3D maps and identify geological features. This reduces expedition costs and accelerates mining planning.

Transportation

Wheelies enables monitoring of roads, bridges, and transport infrastructure, quickly detecting damage and defects. In parallel, devices track traffic flow conditions and monitor emergency situations.

Applications:

  • Traffic flow monitoring
  • Accident detection
  • Road surface inspection
  • Traffic regulation compliance monitoring

Case example:

Companies use drones powered by Wheelies to inspect highways. Drones detect road surface damage and traffic incidents, accelerating repair planning and improving road safety.

Logistics

Wheelies enables autonomous cargo delivery to remote and hazardous areas, independently planning optimal routes. This allows fast and safe transportation without increasing workforce size.

Applications:

  • Delivery of goods to remote and high-risk zones
  • Route and cargo condition tracking

Advantages

Unified Control and Monitoring System

Wheelies provides centralized data storage, real-time monitoring, and remote access. All operations are transparent, mission data is stored and available for further analysis. This simplifies control, improves process manageability, and enables decision-making based on real operational data.

Autonomous Mission Execution

Wheelies UAV software enables fully autonomous mission execution without constant operator involvement. Drones and robotic systems independently analyze data, adjust routes, make real-time decisions, and adapt to changing conditions. This reduces personnel workload, minimizes human error, and allows simultaneous management of multiple missions without increasing staff size.

Multi-Device Management

The platform supports different types of drones and robotic systems within a unified architecture. This is especially important for companies operating mixed fleets or manufacturers working with multiple device models. Centralized control reduces integration time, simplifies scaling, and enables full fleet management from a single interface.

Data Storage and Performance Analytics

All information is stored in one place, enabling autonomous analysis of business performance trends, detection of progress or regression, and adjustment of fleet strategy without constant human intervention.

Operation in GPS- and Connectivity-Restricted Environments

The platform is capable of executing tasks without GPS, internet, or stable radio communication. This enables operations in remote, complex, or restricted environments where traditional solutions fail, reducing the risk of downtime and operational disruption.

Data Analytics and Processing

Automated real-time collection and processing of video, telemetry, and other data transforms raw information into actionable insights. Companies gain not only monitoring capabilities but also advanced analytics, improving efficiency and reducing operational costs.

Integration with Enterprise Systems

Through API integration, the platform connects with ERP and other enterprise systems, automatically transferring mission data into business workflows. This simplifies reporting, maintenance planning, asset tracking, and resource allocation while eliminating manual input errors.

Intelligent Task Distribution

The system automatically coordinates multiple drones based on priorities, resource availability, and current workload. This ensures optimal fleet utilization, especially in large-scale operations where manual control is limited.

Scalability and Resilience

Wheelies transforms drone management into a scalable autonomous operation system with predictable outcomes, controlled costs, and high resilience to external conditions.

Core Components of the Wheelies Platform

The Wheelies platform consists of two key components that enable autonomous drone control and efficient mission planning: the onboard intelligent system AI Captain and the web-based Command Center interface.
