AIr™ is the patented, drone-agnostic airflow cleaning method developed by inventor Ridha Azaiz for waterless, non-contact surface maintenance where abrasion, manual access, or liquid use are constrained. Aerial Agency takes its name from the concept of AI agents — moving artificial intelligence out of the cloud and embodying it into aerial systems that perform physical work.
Originally developed for surface cleaning and maintenance, the method is relevant to solar and other infrastructure environments where low-contact operation matters. Early trials and development work included testing in India, Chile, and the United States.
Development is founder-led and supported by a network of specialists in CFD modelling and AI computer vision. The work advances the patented method toward broader autonomous aerial systems, combining software and platform approaches that move drones beyond passive inspection into useful physical work.
Events
Energy Dialogue, 2024
During an earlier robotics development, the founder participated in Start-Up Chile and later continued international energy engagement, where he had the opportunity to speak with former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet.
