about roboloon
Our vision is to
create an aerial robotic ecosystem
that is sustainable and peaceful
and which anyone can call for help
- instantly, at the touch of a button.
​
​
roboloon is a spin-off company from the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
Our goal is to take ancient lighter-than-air technology to create autonomous aerial robots that can overcome the biggest hurdles of today's civil drone technology: flight-time and safety, without compromising for maneuverability.
Creating airship drones today means deep tech and a strong focus on software for us.
