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 of the platform is driven by the founder alongside a specialized team of CFD modeling researchers and AI computer vision experts. Together, they are advancing the patented method toward broader autonomous aerial systems, including software and platform approaches that transform drones from passive inspection into useful physical work.
Events
Energy Transition 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.
