Helius
The Robinson HELIUS is a compact sub-250 g nano unmanned aerial system (UAS) designed to provide rapid situational awareness for military, public safety, emergency response, and industrial operations. Its rugged coaxial design enables stable flight in confined spaces and adverse weather, while its ultra-lightweight construction allows a single operator to deploy the aircraft in under 30 seconds.
Equipped with a 12.3 MP ultra-low-light electro-optical camera, AI-assisted object recognition, obstacle avoidance, and LTE-enabled command and control, HELIUS delivers real-time aerial intelligence wherever it is needed. With field-swappable batteries, up to 30 minutes of endurance, and speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h), it is built for demanding ISR, search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, and security missions.
