Shell runs FlytBase-powered autonomous drone-in-a-box operations offshore
FlytBase said Shell’s offshore robotics team is running autonomous drone-in-a-box operations on a floating offshore production facility in the Gulf of America.
Evidence notes
- The deployment supports automated rounds, flare checks, under-deck checks, sheen monitoring and asset-condition inspection.
- FlytBase describes the system as operational rather than a demonstration.
- The milestone was shared by Shell and FlytBase at the Energy Drone & Robotics Summit in Houston.
Company context
FlytBase provides software for autonomous drone operations, docking workflows and remote fleet management. Its platform supports drone-in-a-box deployments for security, inspection and recurring aerial data collection.
