Services / Proof-of-Concept Program
Test drones, robots, and sensors in your operation before committing.
Remote Robotic helps enterprise and public-sector teams validate advanced robotics solutions — drones, UGVs, ROVs, docking systems, and sensors — through a hands-on Proof-of-Concept (POC) program. Designed for utilities, public safety, mining, energy, and large industrial organizations that need clarity, ROI, and operational certainty before they invest.

For enterprise & public-sector teams
✓
Hardware-agnostic, vendor-neutral
✓
Canada-wide remote and on-site support
What it is
A structured, time-bound engagement to answer specific business questions.
We bring the right combination of robotics technology and expertise into your environment so your team can evaluate — not just demo — the platforms you're considering.
Common questions we answer
- — "Can drones safely replace our helicopter inspections?"
- — "Will a ground robot or docked drone reduce our response times?"
- — "Which drone and sensor combo is best for our mapping or inspection work?"
- — "Is BVLOS or remote operations viable for our sites?"
Who it's for
- — Operations leaders validating safety and productivity gains
- — Innovation teams moving from interesting pilot to scalable deployment
- — Procurement & leadership gaining confidence in capital decisions with real data
Two ways to engage
Pick the engagement that matches your maturity
Option 1
Equipment-specific proof-of-concept
Ideal if you already know which platform you want to test.
Use cases
- — Trial a specific drone (e.g. DJI Matrice 400), UGV (Spot, Husky), or ROV
- — Compare multiple platforms head-to-head
- — Validate for inspections, mapping, emergency response, or automation
We deliver
- — Test plan creation
- — On-site or remote deployment
- — Training & operational support
- — Performance evaluation and ROI analysis
Option 2
Consultative robotics assessment & POC
Ideal if you know the problem but need clarity on the right technology stack.
We help you determine
- — Which drones, robots, or sensors match your goals
- — What software, data workflow, or docking system is required
- — Whether BVLOS, remote ops, or autonomy is viable
- — Total cost of ownership and scalability
Includes discovery, workflow mapping, system recommendations, POC execution, and a scaling roadmap.

FAQ
POC, answered
- What is a robotics proof-of-concept?
- A structured, time-bound test that evaluates drones, robots, and sensors in your real operation to confirm performance, ROI, and safety before committing to a full purchase.
- Why do organizations run a POC?
- To reduce risk, gather measurable evidence, compare technologies head-to-head, and validate ROI against current workflows — instead of buying off a spec sheet.
- How long does a POC take?
- Most run 4–12 weeks, depending on scope, test environment, and internal approvals.
- Which technologies can we test?
- Drones (DJI Matrice, Parrot, Teal, FreeFly), UGVs (Spot, Husky, Jackal), ROVs, autonomous docking systems, BVLOS platforms, LiDAR, thermal and multispectral sensors, magnetometers, and mission software.
- Do you provide training?
- Yes. Operator and supervisor training is included so your team can run the evaluation accurately and capture clean performance data.
- How much does a POC cost?
- Pricing depends on technology scope, duration, and support level. Most engagements are scoped during a discovery call — request a briefing below and we'll come back with a fixed-price proposal.
Validate the technology. De-risk the investment.
Tell us your mission, your sites, and what success looks like. We'll scope a POC that answers it — usually in 4–12 weeks.
