What FlyBots Technology does

FlyBots Technology Sdn Bhd is a Malaysia-based AI robotics startup founded in 2019 and headquartered in Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor, operating with a team of 1-10. The company develops and consults on unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and counter-drone systems, with a self-reported technology stack spanning ROS (95%), embedded applications (90%), autonomous drone technology (90%), UGV robotics (80%), and IOT/AI/data analytics (70%). Flagship technical capabilities include SLAM navigation on a DJI M600 platform, VTOL landing on moving platforms, and an autonomous ultrasonic-thickness (UT) measurement drone for industrial inspection — the last of which was the only entry to complete an autonomous obstacle course in a challenge organized by a local oil and gas company among 17 proposals from 12 Malaysian institutions, conducted in partnership with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).

The firm's offering combines hardware-adjacent product lines (UAV anti-drone solutions under the kaawal.com brand, autonomous engineering drones) with a broad services portfolio: robotics and automation consultation, custom R&D for UGV/UAV, industry-specific IOT solutions, 3D mapping, and education and training programs in robotics and AI. It targets four verticals — oil and gas (primary), engineering and construction, education, and security/defense — with a primary focus on reducing human exposure to hazardous industrial tasks such as inspection and surveying.

Commercially, FlyBots runs a sales-led, direct-inquiry GTM with custom quote-based pricing and 'Ask Now' / 'Contact Us' CTAs across its website, supplemented by case-study content, a YouTube channel, and a Facebook page. Revenue streams are split between professional services (consultation, R&D, training, 3D mapping, IOT) and hardware-related sales (robotics and UAV solutions). The company has disclosed a single $56,060 raise from MYHackathon in August 2022, no institutional funding rounds, and no parent company, and it has not publicly disclosed revenue or ARR. Strategic ecosystem ties include co-development with an unnamed established company, collaboration with a small UAV entrepreneur, and platform-level use of DJI hardware.
