Backed by Decades of Mobile LiDAR Experience

The founder and CTO of LidarSwiss, Robert Kletzli, has been a pioneer in LiDAR technology since the early 1990’s.

In 2005, Robert received a consultant contract to aid in starting a large LiDAR company in China.  During his time there, he realized UAV’s would be a good alternative to the highly controlled airspace of manned aircrafts.  He started flying UAV LiDAR in 2010 and enjoyed the freedom to fly however the company wished,
which also offered the added convenience of not having to be tied to an airport.

In 2014, he started working with a Swiss UAV helicopter company, SwissDrones®, and a year later had his first international sale of the Micro Vux series along with a SwissDrones® UAV.

After decades of work in the industry, Robert determined the international market was ready for UAV LiDAR
and in 2017 LidarSwiss was born.
