Collaboration brings ExynAI and Nexys to UP Caeli Via’s compact ARGOS UAS, expanding autonomous mapping opportunities across industrial, infrastructure, and inspection markets
Project with one of the world’s leading luxury vehicle manufacturers demonstrates growing commercial demand for Exyn’s software-first autonomy platform across multiple robotic ecosystems
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Exyn Technologies (NASDAQ: EXYN), a leader in autonomous mapping and AI-powered navigation for complex, GPS-denied environments, today announced a strategic collaboration with UP Caeli Via, an Italian manufacturer of professional unmanned aerial systems (UAS), to integrate ExynAI and the Nexys autonomous mapping platform with the UP Caeli Via ARGOS aerial platform.
The collaboration expands Exyn’s growing ecosystem of supported robotic platforms while increasing deployment opportunities across industrial inspection, infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, and government applications. By extending ExynAI to a lightweight, compact aircraft, Exyn enables customers to perform autonomous inspections and mapping in confined or difficult-to-access environments that larger platforms cannot efficiently reach.
Brandon Torres Declet, Chief Executive Officer of Exyn Technologies, commented, “Demand for autonomous robotics continues to expand, customers increasingly want the flexibility to deploy ExynAI across the platform best suited for each mission. Our collaboration with UP Caeli Via expands the reach of our software platform into new operational environments while further strengthening Exyn’s position as a hardware-agnostic autonomy provider.”
Powered by ExynAI, the integrated solution enables autonomous flight, real-time mapping, and survey-grade 3D data collection without GPS, prior maps, or continuous operator control. The platform is designed for inspection, digital twin creation, asset management, and reality capture workflows across complex industrial facilities. The detachable Nexys payload further extends operational flexibility, enabling customers to continue data-capture workflows using alternative deployment methods when aerial access is not possible or not the most efficient option.
Gianni Baggio, Founder and CEO of UP Caeli Via, commented, “Combining ExynAI and Nexys with ARGOS allows us to offer customers more than an autonomous mapping drone. It creates a compact, integrated solution for collecting critical 3D data in environments that are difficult or unsafe to access. For UP Caeli Via, transparent, secure, and customer-controlled data management is a core requirement for industrial and mission-critical applications. UP Caeli Via’s role is to make the combined solution practical to deploy and sustain throughout its lifecycle through Italian engineering and manufacturing, application-specific integration, training, pre- and post-sales support, and a product philosophy built around serviceability, upgradeability, and the rejection of planned obsolescence.”
The collaboration also reflects Exyn’s broader strategy of expanding the number of robotic platforms capable of running ExynAI. By enabling customers to deploy the Company’s autonomy software across multiple aerial systems, Exyn continues to broaden its addressable market while creating potential new opportunities with OEMs, enterprise customers, and government organizations seeking flexible autonomous solutions.
Importantly, the companies are already collaborating on commercial deployments with one of the world’s leading luxury vehicle manufacturers, where the integrated system is being utilized for autonomous inspection and reality capture workflows. These projects demonstrate real-world enterprise adoption of Exyn’s software platform and highlights increasing demand for compact autonomous systems capable of operating safely inside complex industrial environments.
“Every new platform that supports ExynAI expands the potential market for our autonomy software,” added Declet. “Our objective is to make ExynAI available across a broad ecosystem of trusted robotic platforms, enabling customers to standardize on Exyn’s autonomy data capture capabilities regardless of the hardware they choose.”
