AI at its core, ushering in a new era of intelligent collaboration

    Traditional aerial operations rely on human pilots, human observation, and human decision-making, which presents three major challenges: high operational barriers, weak real-time perception, and difficulty in intelligent operation. In extreme scenarios such as nighttime or enclosed spaces , drones struggle to reach their destinations efficiently due to factors such as weak perception capabilities, signal interference, drone range limitations, and the limitations of the drone itself.

    Autel Robotics released several hardware products, including the next- generation intelligent drone Autel EVO III series, the AI ​​unmanned platform Autel EVO Nest 2  , and the mobile command station Autel AGX Station . 

    With AI at its core, it liberates users from the three major pain points of "hand, eye, and brain" through intelligent interaction, intelligent perception, and intelligent decision-making. It possesses full-scenario autonomous flight obstacle avoidance, AI recognition and automatic tracking, real-time path planning, and cluster collaborative operation capabilities. At the same time, through natural language input, it achieves automatic task/flight route generation with a response time of seconds, lowering the barrier to entry and leading the industry into a new era of intelligent collaboration.

Autel EVO III Flagship AI Drone

    The Autel EVO III series flagship drones are based on an AI intelligent agent architecture, deeply integrating perception, recognition, planning, decision-making, execution, and intelligent interaction to build end-to-end intelligent collaborative capabilities for drones. Equipped with a high-performance computing platform, it supports multimodal intelligent interaction , with AI automatically planning flight paths and efficiently completing tasks. 

    Integrating Autel OmniLink networking technology, it enables multi-machine task collaboration, information sharing, and all-weather intelligent obstacle avoidance, constructing an integrated air-to-ground intelligent collaborative network. It features 25km long-range high-definition image transmission, ensuring stable signal transmission and smooth, clear images even in complex environments.

Through this AI-powered unmanned operation solution, the barriers to entry and labor costs are significantly reduced, comprehensively empowering applications in industries such as smart security, smart energy, and smart transportation.

· Autel AGX Station

    Redefining efficient operations with AI, the Autel AGX Station autonomously plans tasks and generates reports by issuing voice or text commands, replacing tedious manual operations. Its smooth and efficient interactive experience, along with a clear, large-screen display, facilitates quick and accurate decision-making. The command station features a hot-swap battery for extended battery life , an IP54 protection rating to withstand harsh environments , and quadruple encryption for data security, empowering and improving efficiency in public safety, traffic enforcement, energy inspection, and other professional fields.

An integrated air-ground smart security solution establishes a "three-dimensional prevention and control system".

    Autel Robotics focuses on security value scenarios such as police law enforcement, public security patrol, regional security, police incident handling, traffic law enforcement, and border patrol. With multi-rotor drones, tilt-rotor drones, and unmanned vehicles as the main components and an AI-driven command system as the core, it has launched an integrated air-ground cluster intelligence smart security solution.

    Compared to traditional operational models, Autel Robotics air-ground integrated smart security solution achieves a physical closed loop of perception sharing, decision-making collaboration, and action coordination among intelligent agents through unified decision-making and control via an AI brain. This completes a leap from "human control" to "intelligent control," from "single-point intelligence" to "swarm intelligence," and from "passive response" to "proactive anticipation" and "proactive execution," solving the "last mile" problem of AI implementation. It transforms traditional aerial operations into all-weather, all-domain integrated air-ground cluster operations, significantly reducing operational risks in security scenarios while greatly improving operational efficiency, reshaping a new paradigm for low-altitude economical operations.

    In addition, the first unmanned vehicle platforms launched by Autel Robotics , Autel Explorer and Autel Pioneer -150, with their superior performance and innovative design , upgrade the traditional two-dimensional security monitoring system built by fixed monitoring to a "three-dimensional prevention and control system" that is intelligent, clustered, and integrated with air and ground , realizing a unified network for monitoring, tracking, and prevention and control in the field of smart security.
