2025: Providing autonomous operation of the Viy-4M quadcopter
Wheelies provided autonomous operation of the Viy-4M quadrocopter from the Aerocase Design Bureau and integrated its support into its own platform. Installing the software on the drone has enhanced its functionality. Wheelies announced this on December 23, 2025.
The quadcopter itself is a versatile modular platform equipped with an intelligent battery, cooling system and powerful plastic hinges. The body of the device is designed specifically for a single-board computer Orange Pi 5. The drone is resistant to temperature drops and suitable for long missions in difficult conditions.
After integrating the Wheelies software, the quadcopter is able to autonomously fly around territories, detect objects and work in the absence of GNSS. All data is transferred in real time to the company's servers. The system independently analyzes and compares them, which greatly simplifies the work of operators. The Viy-4M quadcopter with installed software from Wheelies is ready to work in geodesy, logistics, security, infrastructure monitoring, ecology, as well as in search and rescue operations.
| The appearance of Viy-4M in the Wheelies ecosystem is an important step in the development of universal autonomous robotics in Russia. We are committed to ensuring that any drone manufacturer can quickly and easily connect their solutions to our platform and bring them to market in a fully standalone form. "Viy-4M" is an excellent example of how engineering developments of OKB "Aerokeis" and our technologies turn into effective solutions for the customer, - said Dmitry Kuzma, CEO of Wheelies. |
| The strategic partnership with Wheelies takes us to the next level, expands the previously inaccessible horizons for the use of our drones and their functionality, increasing reliability and efficiency, reducing maintenance and operation costs. As a result, we get a high-quality and cost-effective solution for the most demanding and pragmatic customer. In my opinion, this is the best reason for choosing in favor of the autonomous complex - "Viy-4M + Wheelies," said Yakov Konstantinov, head of the Aerokeys Design Bureau. |
