Powered by the latest Ouster REV 7’s supercharged L3 chip, the Elios 3 has the ability to capture points further apart and to detect more usable visual features. This maximizes the chance for the SLAM algorithm to converge when computing 3D models of cylindrical and symmetrical environments such as collectors, chimneys, culverts, or underground galleries.

Photon sensitivity
When centimetre-level accuracy counts, mobile scanning beats traditional methods like total stations or terrestrial scanners hands down. With a 100m range, 1,310,720 pts/sec point density, and the ability to cover a 300m tunnel in a single flight, the Elios 3 Surveying Payload can turn days of work into just 10 minutes.

With its small form factor, the Elios 3 and the Surveying Payload can fit through openings as small as 50x50cm. It has a fixed cage that physically protects the hardware and a patented combination of flight controller and motor design that allows the drone to recover flight stability after a collision. This enables the drone to navigate through the most complex environments to capture high resolution scans where no other technology can.
Learn about Elios 3The Elios 3 Surveying Payload is bundled with FARO Connect, a powerful software solution to process and manage the Elios 3’s LiDAR data.
