EDTECH: LEVERAGING AI-POWERED TECHNOLOGIES TO TRANSFORM THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
1. Technology overview
Perceptual Robotics Ltd is a wind technology company headquartered in Bristol, United Kingdom, with a subsidiary in Athens, Greece. It provides an AI-powered platform for wind turbine inspection and predictive maintenance for wind farm owners, operators and asset managers.
The offer combines autonomous drone systems, including the Dhalion system and the compact Eve drone, with software that ingests inspection data from various sources and applies AI damage detection and reporting. Customers can run self-service autonomous inspections or use inspection services from experienced UAV pilots, and keep control of their own data and reports.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Autonomous drone inspection: Dhalion and Eve systems inspect turbine blades with little manual piloting.
- AI damage detection: software identifies blade damage and produces reports.
- Repair Now Ratio: a metric that helps prioritize repairs across a fleet.
- Multi-source data: inspection data from different methods is gathered in one platform.
- Managed services: UAV pilots can perform inspections for customers who prefer a service.
3. Potential application
Blade inspection for onshore wind farms in the Vietnamese central highlands and south-central coast. Condition surveys of offshore wind turbines. Acquisition due diligence on existing wind assets.
4. Benefits
Autonomous inspections reduce the need for technicians to climb turbines. AI detection helps prioritize repairs, supported by the Repair Now Ratio. Owners keep control of their data and reports, and can choose self-service or a managed service.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Wind fleets are growing and ageing, which raises demand for drone-based, data-driven blade inspection. Vietnam is expanding onshore and offshore wind capacity, creating a future need for inspection and maintenance tooling.
6. Other information
Raised over 4 million GBP in 2026 from Investing for Purpose, Loggerhead Ventures and One Planet Capital, with Innovate UK co-funding (reported 28 July 2026). Headquartered in Bristol with a Greek subsidiary. Customers across Europe, North America and Latin America.
