Flybotix ASIO X — Caged Inspection Drone for Confined Spaces
The ASIO X is a Swiss-engineered, collision-tolerant inspection drone built for the darkest, dustiest and most confined assets. Its patented two-propeller design and robust spherical cage let pilots fly close to surfaces and bounce off obstacles without crashing, while a 40,000-lumen lighting system, orientable LiDAR and integrated gas detection turn a single 20-minute flight into a complete, data-rich inspection.
ASIO X — Streamlined inspection process. Fast decision-making
40,000-Lumen Lighting
A powerful 40K-lumen lighting system floods even the darkest, most confined spaces with a wide, even beam — eliminating shadows and dark spots so cracks, corrosion and fine defects are clearly visible. Brightness is adjustable to suit each inspection environment.
Integrated Gas Detection
An onboard gas-detection payload locates and quantifies four hazardous gases — methane (CH₄), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), oxygen (O₂) and carbon monoxide (CO) — with high accuracy. Teams gain real-time situational awareness of confined-space atmospheres and can intervene quickly to keep personnel safe.
Orientable LiDAR Payload
A forward-facing, orientable LiDAR with a 106° horizontal by 86° vertical field of view — mounted on a gimbal that tilts 90° up and down — generates precise 3D point clouds of tunnels and tank-like assets. The result is accurate crack and defect measurement, asset digitization and a foundation for digital-twin reporting.
Stable in the Harshest Conditions
An advanced stabilization system combining IMU, radar, VIO cameras and all-around optical sensors keeps the ASIO X level and steady — even in turbulent air, close to obstacles, or in dark, dust-filled environments. It holds position in GPS-denied spaces, so you capture clean, usable data anywhere.
Up to 20 Minutes of Flight
A unique propulsion system and ultra-lightweight airframe deliver up to 20 minutes of flight per battery — enough to complete a full inspection in a single sortie. Fewer battery swaps mean higher uptime, less pilot fatigue and more consistent, high-quality data capture.
Easy to Pilot
An intuitive interface, assisted flight modes and built-in safety features give new pilots a very short learning curve. The ASIO X simplifies inspections in dark, dusty and narrow environments and reduces reliance on scarce expert pilots — lowering the cost and risk of every mission.
Robust Protective Cage
A lightweight yet extremely durable spherical cage — three times more robust than the previous generation — protects the drone from impacts and collisions, so it keeps flying after contact. The cage removes quickly for easy access to internal components, fast repairs and low cost of ownership.
ASIO Connect — Cloud Asset Management
ASIO Connect is a secure, cloud-based platform for inspection data. Its modern 3D system handles point clouds, textured meshes and CAD models in a geolocated spatial context, alongside 4K video, thermal imaging and gas data. It digests indoor and outdoor data from drones, robots, crawlers and ROVs — streamlining reporting and digital-twin management.
See Sharper — ASIO FlyStation
The optional ASIO FlyStation extends the standard controller with an 11-inch heads-up display paired live to the drone’s camera feed. Cracks, corrosion and weld defects appear at a size a pilot can call in real time, instead of squinting at thumbnail views. An inspection engineer can review the same feed alongside the pilot, so findings are verified in flight rather than after the SD card comes out.
Service & Warranty
Every ASIO X supplied by GulfNet Emirates Drone & Robotic Systems includes the manufacturer’s standard warranty, regional technical support and access to the Flybotix portal for documentation, firmware and training resources. Our team provides onboarding, pilot guidance and after-sales support across the UAE and wider GCC.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in the ASIO X kit?
The ASIO X drone, the controller with integrated screen, 3 batteries, a dual charger with adapted connectors, two spare sets of propellers, a toolkit with spare zip-ties and a T6 screwdriver, a high-visibility safety vest, and a QR code giving access to all documentation and the Flybotix portal.
Can the ASIO X stabilize itself in GPS-denied environments?
Yes. Using its integrated IMU, radar, VIO cameras and optical sensors mounted all around, the ASIO X determines its position and movement inside confined spaces and uses that data — instead of GPS — for stabilization.
Can the ASIO X really fly for up to 20 minutes?
Yes, under ideal conditions. With full lighting enabled, flight time is reduced by around 2 minutes, and factors such as wind can reduce it further — but in general conditions a 20-minute flight is realistically achievable.
Does the ASIO X have LiDAR?
Yes. The ASIO X carries a forward-facing, orientable LiDAR with a 106° horizontal by 86° vertical field of view. The gimbal tilts 90° up and down for full vertical coverage; to cover an entire space, the pilot flies through the environment.
What’s improved over the previous ASIO?
On the hardware side: an orientable LiDAR, added VIO cameras and radar for enhanced stabilization in very low visibility, lighting increased from 8K to 40K lumens, an onboard gas sensor, and a cage made three times more robust. On the software side: higher mapping accuracy plus new AI and cloud features for powerful post-processing.
