Case Study: Robota achieves faster UAV prototyping and customization with ShopBot CNC routers

Robota maps storm damage with centimeter accuracy using ShopBot Tools

Robota, a company specializing in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), faced the challenge of prototyping and manufacturing custom components for its commercial drones after its original aircraft model was discontinued. To meet this need for a flexible and rapid fabrication tool, the company turned to ShopBot Tools, Inc., purchasing a ShopBot Desktop CNC router.

ShopBot provided the solution with its Desktop CNC tool, which Robota uses to work with a wide variety of materials including wood, plastic, aluminum, and fiberglass. The tool allows them to quickly make design changes and produce everything from molds to final parts. This capability enabled Robota to efficiently build its Eclipse UAV, which is used for high-accuracy mapping and surveying, saving professionals time and keeping them out of dangerous terrain. ShopBot's tools were integral to Robota's ability to respond quickly to changes and provide real-world solutions.
