Corvus Robotics Unveils Drone System for Cold Chain Operations

Corvus Robotics has introduced Corvus One for Cold Chain, an autonomous aerial inventory system designed to operate in freezer environments as low as minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The system, built on the company’s existing Corvus One platform, brings continuous, fully autonomous drone operations to one of the most hostile industrial conditions—cold storage.

“Operating autonomous aerial systems continuously in freezer environments is an engineering challenge most robotics platforms were never designed to handle,” said Jackie Wu, Chief Executive Officer at Corvus Robotics. “Corvus One for Cold Chain required re-architecting thermal management, sensing, flight stability, and onboard perception so the system could maintain autonomy and accuracy despite frost, glare, airflow, and extreme temperature swings.”
