DRB
About
DRB is an Italian deep-tech startup and spin-off of Politecnico di Milano developing a reusable autonomous drone operations platform for industrial inspection, resilient navigation and advanced aerial mobility.
The DRB platform transforms commercial drones into industrial-grade autonomous systems by combining four proprietary modules: autonomous mission management, resilient GPS-independent navigation through radio beacons and LTE/5G positioning, robotic payload interaction for non-destructive testing, and AI-based detection and reporting.
Unlike traditional drone service providers, DRB is not built around pilots or one-off inspections. Its technology stack enables standardized, repeatable and scalable drone operations across multiple markets, including wind energy, power grids, critical infrastructure, urban drone corridors and dual-use applications.
DRB’s current vertical solutions include MyWIND for wind turbine inspection, MyPOWER for high-voltage powerline inspection and live-line testing, and MyWAY for resilient navigation, urban corridors and advanced air mobility. By reusing the same platform across different industries, DRB can scale internationally with software-driven economics, hardware modules and partner-based deployment.
