Spinoff Robotics
Spinoff Robotics designs custom aerial platforms engineered from first principles for heavy-duty industrial, security, and tactical missions. Its ALICE platform integrates custom airframes, edge-AI silicon, and a mission application layer, enabling applications from high-payload pressure-washing to sub-millimetre photogrammetry in GPS-denied environments.

Product
Problem
Standard commercial drones are often retrofitted consumer platforms that lack the structural integrity, processing power, and payload capacity required for demanding industrial, security, and tactical missions. Off-the-shelf components create integration inefficiencies that limit endurance, force control, and the ability to operate in GPS-denied or contested environments.
Solution
Spinoff Robotics engineers aerial platforms from first principles, achieving full vertical integration across airframe design, fluid dynamics, power distribution, and on-device AI. The ALICE platform is a custom-designed aerial robotics system built for heavy-duty payload delivery, persistent station-keeping, and advanced recoil control. By controlling every layer of the technology stack—from EMASS edge-AI silicon chips to custom airframes—the company delivers structural, processing, and flight efficiencies that off-the-shelf components cannot match. The Mission Application Layer decouples the drone platform from a single fixed application, enabling redeployment across specialized missions such as high-payload pressure-washing, security overwatch, and sub-millimetre photogrammetry in deep, GPS-denied structures.
Target Audience
Primary customers include commercial operators in industrial maintenance (facade cleaning and protective coating), infrastructure inspection firms (power grids, bridges), security and defense organizations requiring persistent overwatch, and tactical operators in contested environments.
Features
- EMASS Edge-AI Silicon: 22nm/16nm ultra-low-power RISC-V System-on-Chip (ECS-DoT) runs flight control and AI analytics on-device at sub-milliwatt power, eliminating heavy processing payloads and cloud dependency
- Custom airframes designed with integrated fluid dynamics, active stabilization, and tether-tension handling for extreme commercial and tactical environments
- Up to 2x faster than traditional gondola/rope-access methods for high-pressure cleaning and protective coating application
- Integrated chemical-delivery tether for continuous operation and precision spray-distance control maintaining uniform application
- Confined-space navigation through gaps as small as 300mm with zero-GPS localization using illumination-robust visual odometry
- Digital twin generation with automated deviation tracking for high-fidelity inspections of high-value assets
- Tethered platforms with zero RF signature and immunity to GPS spoofing and electronic warfare for contested electromagnetic environments
