Domain Expertise
Bringing the Subsurface to Light
We provide systems for autonomous drilling, automated sampling, in-situ analysis and identification of ore grades, geotechnical characterization and remote sensing. Our robotic systems provide reliable, efficient methods to boost performance and safety, including automating dangerous tasks, gathering data, remote sensing, and improving operations.
With over 20 years of experience developing sampling and geotechnical systems for planetary exploration, Honeybee Robotics knows how to create robust solutions for any environment.
With in-house expertise in geophysics, geomechanics, geotechnics, and drilling engineering, we strive to be the ideal development partner from early-stage design consulting through support in field deployment.
Honeybee has developed a range of high-performance technologies for mining, oil and gas including intelligent excavation systems, autonomous drills and sampling systems, downhole logging suites, and remote access platforms, all engineered for the harshest environments on Earth.
Our facilities are equipped with unique environment simulation chambers and we regularly field test our systems to ensure they will perform reliably in the most demanding conditions.
