Autel Robotics EVO Nest

Description:

The Autel EVO Max Nest is an advanced drone-in-a-box solution designed to automate drone operations from takeoff to landing. Purpose-built for industrial inspections, remote monitoring, and emergency response, this autonomous docking station eliminates the need for on-site personnel by allowing drones to launch, land, recharge, and resume missions—all automatically.

Whether you’re conducting routine patrols or responding to critical incidents, the EVO Max Nest ensures your drone is always mission-ready, securely housed, and rapidly recharged.

Key Features:

• Hands-Free Launch, Landing & Charging
  Fully autonomous takeoff, precision landing, and rapid charging (10%–90% in ~25 minutes) for continuous operations.

• Remote Operations & Fleet Control
  Manage missions from anywhere using Autel’s secure command center software with real-time video feeds, telemetry, and AI-powered fleet coordination.

• All-Weather, Rugged Design
  IP55-rated sealed housing, climate control system, and retractable canopy support 24/7 deployment from -22°F to 131°F (-30°C to 55°C).

• Secure, GNSS-Free Navigation
  Supports SLAM-based visual positioning, obstacle avoidance, and precision landings in GPS-denied or low-light environments.

• Autonomous Mission Management
  Supports scheduled patrols, alarm-triggered flights, and real-time rerouting via cloud or private deployment—powered by AES-256 encrypted communications.

Autonomous Drone Operations Made Easy

The EVO Max Nest enables drones to autonomously execute missions on-demand or on schedule. Its internal charging system brings a drone from 10% to 90% in just 25 minutes, ensuring minimal downtime. Precision landing is achieved using advanced visual positioning and guided rails, making every return safe and accurate—even in difficult environments.

Centralized Control from Anywhere

Via Ethernet or 4G/5G, the EVO Max Nest connects to Autel’s secure cloud platform, allowing operators to dispatch drones, monitor real-time video, and manage entire fleets remotely. With AI-powered mission planning, multiple Nests and drones can be coordinated for zonal operations, live object tracking, and collaborative coverage—all managed through one centralized dashboard.

Built for Harsh Environments

Designed for outdoor deployment in rugged environments, the Nest features:

• IP55 weather protection

• Automated canopy for dust, rain, and snow shielding

• Internal heating/cooling system to maintain optimal operating temperature

• Compact and lightweight form factor (70 kg), allowing easy transport and setup by a two-person team

Real-Time Awareness & High-Precision Performance

Equipped with onboard weather sensors, internal cameras, and system diagnostics, the Nest constantly reports drone status, environmental conditions, and mission data. This ensures full visibility and decision-making capabilities from the command center—even in unpredictable situations.

Ideal For:

• Industrial Inspections:
  Automate inspections of pipelines, towers, solar farms, and more with consistent, scheduled drone missions.

• Security & Surveillance:
  Conduct 24/7 perimeter patrols and alarm-triggered dispatches at sensitive sites, borders, or facilities.

• Emergency Response:
  Deploy drones instantly in wildfire zones, floods, or urban search-and-rescue scenarios, even before teams arrive.
