About Cleo Robotics
Dronut DD1 encloses its propulsion inside a 190-millimetre circular body, reducing exposed-rotor risk when flying close to people, machinery and walls. The 520-gram aircraft combines a 4K main camera, three global-shutter navigation cameras, 3D LiDAR and omnidirectional proximity sensing for low-light and GPS-denied flight.
The aircraft provides up to 15 minutes of flight and can launch in under a minute. A rugged handheld controller supplies four live camera feeds and dual-stick input, while onboard autonomy supports stable navigation through confined interiors. Cleo engineers and manufactures DD1 in the United States for industrial inspection and government missions where a conventional multirotor is too large or vulnerable to contact.
