AGUIA (Galician for "eagle") is a Spanish deep-tech startup based in Galicia that builds Smart Pavement Analytics (SPA), an AI and computer-vision platform that analyzes drone-captured aerial imagery to inspect road pavement, detect defects (cracks, potholes) and compute standardized Pavement Condition Index (PCI, ASTM D6433-23) ratings for infrastructure asset management. Founded by two aeronautical engineers, it operates in the road/infrastructure inspection and asset-management sector and has run inspection projects for regional road networks including in the Community of Madrid. It is an investee company of the Galician public venture vehicle Xesgalicia and has participated in the Business Factory Aero (BFAero) aerospace accelerator program.
AI-powered autonomous drones widely deployed for infrastructure and asset inspection, the closest large-scale analogue to AGUIA's drone+AI inspection model.
AI-driven robotic/sensor inspection of critical physical infrastructure (energy, industrial) to assess condition and prioritize maintenance, same asset-condition-analytics model as AGUIA applied to a different asset class.
Drone-captured aerial imagery processed with AI/analytics for construction and infrastructure monitoring, directly comparable data pipeline (drone imagery to actionable defect/condition insights).
Autonomous drone-in-a-box AI inspection of industrial infrastructure for defect detection and condition monitoring, same drone+AI inspection business model.
AI analysis of aerial/geospatial imagery to assess property and infrastructure condition at scale, same computer-vision-on-aerial-imagery model as AGUIA's pavement analytics.
