Drone surveying is the use of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) to collect geospatial data from the air, typically through high-resolution imagery. When performed correctly, these surveys offer faster data collection, greater accuracy, and improved safety compared to traditional methods. Robota provides advanced drone surveying solutions tailored for surveyors, engineers, and environmental professionals.

GIS solutions refer to tools and systems that help capture, manage, analyze, and visualize spatial or geographic data. These are commonly used in urban planning, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure development. Robota’s GIS mapping solutions enable organizations to integrate aerial drone data into powerful geographic information systems for actionable insights.

An example of GIS mapping is using drone-captured aerial images to create detailed land use maps for city planning. These maps can show zoning boundaries, vegetation coverage, and flood risk areas. Robota supports this process by providing reliable GIS mapping solutions that streamline data collection and integration.

Data mapping typically involves software like Agisoft Metashape Pro, which allows users to convert raw spatial data into meaningful visual layers. When combined with high-accuracy aerial data from drones, these tools become even more powerful. As a geospatial solution company, Robota provides tools and integrations that simplify the path from drone flight to mapped output.

A geospatial solution refers to the technology and processes used to gather, interpret, and apply location-based data for decision-making. This can include satellite imagery, GPS, drones, and GIS platforms. Robota is a trusted geospatial solution company, helping professionals across industries turn aerial data into valuable spatial intelligence.

To begin drone surveying, you’ll need a drone equipped with RTK or PPK capabilities, photogrammetry software, and training in photogrammetry or LiDAR-based techniques. Robota offers entry-level and professional-grade drone surveying solutions to help new users get started with confidence and accuracy.

Drone mapping can achieve sub-inch (2–5 cm) accuracy when using RTK or PPK-enabled systems, ideal for construction, agriculture, and land development. Robota’s drone mapping solutions are designed to deliver high-precision data with minimal ground control, reducing both time and cost.

Drone inspections can be extremely accurate when using high-resolution cameras and GPS-corrected flight paths. With the right system, you can detect minor structural issues or topographic changes. Robota’s advanced drone surveying solutions help inspection teams achieve detailed, repeatable results in real-time.

To start drone mapping, you need a drone with high-precision GPS (RTK or PPK), mapping software, and basic training in flight planning and data processing. Robota’s entry-level and advanced drone mapping solutions come ready with everything needed to begin capturing and analyzing aerial data.

Fixed-wing drones and quadcopters with RTK GPS are commonly used in mapping. The Robota Eclipse, for example, is engineered specifically for large-area coverage with survey-grade accuracy. As a leading geospatial solution company, Robota ensures you have the right drone tailored to your mapping needs.

The range depends on the drone type and legal flight limits. Fixed-wing drones like Robota’s Eclipse can cover hundreds of acres per flight, making them ideal for large-area applications such as open-pit mining. Our drone surveying solutions are optimized for long-range performance without compromising accuracy.

The duration of a drone survey varies based on the size of the area and the drone used. A single Robota fixed-wing drone can map hundreds of acres in under an hour. Our efficient drone mapping solutions are built to reduce survey time and speed up data turnaround.
