Swiss-Based Voliro Bags $23 Million Funding in Extended Series A Round.

Led by Florian Gutzwiller(CEO), Timo Muller(VP of Product & Co-Founder), Simon Furer(CFO), Laurent Zimmerli(VP Growth), Dr. Florian Tschopp(VP Technology), Daniele Pettenuzzo(VP Engineering), Dr. Matthias Bichsel(Voliro Board Member), And Prof. Dr. Roland Siegwart(Voliro Board Member), Voliro secured $23 Million in an Extended Series A funding round where the original round was led by Cherry Ventures, and the extended round saw participation from Noa.

Started in the Autonomous Systems Lab (ASL) at ETH Zurich, Voliro is redefining infrastructure inspections with its aerial robots, built to access hard-to-reach assets like wind turbines, flare stacks, and storage tanks. Its Voliro T platform enables 5x faster LPS inspections, reduces downtime and costs by up to 50%, and eliminates the need for manual access.

Trusted by 40+ customers across 17 countries—including Chevron and Holcim—Voliro performs 100+ contact inspections monthly and leads the field in aerial contact inspection for complex industrial environments.

Voliro’s patented tiltable rotor design and modular sensors set a new benchmark for intelligent, contact-based aerial inspections—enabling safer, scalable, and more sustainable operations across the aging industrial infrastructure.

As traditional inspection methods grow riskier and less efficient, Voliro addresses rising failure rates, high costs, and a shrinking NDT workforce with a modern, data-driven solution that reduces downtime, enhances safety, and appeals to the next generation of technicians.

The new funding will fuel the evolution of the Voliro T platform toward greater autonomy and intelligent intervention. Key upgrades include AI-powered diagnostics, enhanced cloud integration, and modular payloads—advancing aerial robots from semi-automated inspection tools to fully autonomous, active maintenance systems.
