Autonomous drone-in-a-box solutions for aerial data acquisition
About Tective Robotics
Tective Robotics specializes in autonomous drone solutions designed to provide continuous aerial data without direct operator handling. The company's core product, SkyHive, is a drone-in-a-box system that automates the entire drone workflow, including take-off, landing, and battery swapping, enabling 24/7 operation of a drone swarm. This system is designed to significantly increase the data acquisition capabilities for a single operator.
The company offers several tailored solutions based on its technology. SkyBase focuses on automated perimeter monitoring for areas up to 25 square kilometers. SkyFence is engineered for automated border mapping and live threat detection over hundreds of kilometers. For the agricultural sector, SkyScope provides high-precision data for early disease and pest detection at the plant level.
Tective Robotics was founded in 2021 by Jeroen van den Berg and Matthijs van den Berg. Jeroen, the CEO, has a background in Business Administration and previously founded a media company. Matthijs, the CTO, is a former naval officer with expertise in autonomous systems and robotics. Their combined experience drives the company's development of practical and advanced autonomous aerial systems. The company operates in markets such as security, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, and logistics.
