The Wisson Robotics AP3-P3 is a lightweight aerial tethered cleaning system designed for small and medium enterprise drones such as the DJI Matrice 400. Powered by Wisson’s proprietary Pliabot® soft robotics technology, the AP3-P3 enables stable high-pressure cleaning at height with adjustable spray angles from +20° to -40°, making it ideal for building facades, solar panels, towers, insulators, and other difficult-to-access infrastructure. Its tethered water supply, self-balancing gimbal, and modular nozzle system deliver safer, more efficient, and cost-effective aerial cleaning compared to traditional manual methods.

The Orion AP3-P3 by Wisson Robotics is an advanced aerial tethered cleaning platform engineered to transform conventional drones into precision high-pressure cleaning systems for elevated and hazardous environments. Using Wisson’s proprietary Pliabot® flexible robotics technology, the AP3-P3 combines drone mobility with intelligent stabilisation and multi-angle spray control, allowing operators to safely clean complex structures while maintaining stable flight and precise targeting.
Designed for compatibility with popular enterprise drone platforms including the DJI Matrice 400, M300, and M350 series, the AP3-P3 weighs only approximately 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs), making it suitable for lightweight drone operations and easier flight approvals. The system supports tethered high-pressure water delivery, enabling continuous operation without relying on onboard liquid payloads. This dramatically improves endurance and cleaning efficiency for large-scale facade and infrastructure cleaning applications.
The AP3-P3 is capable of operating at heights up to 400 ft (approximately 120 m) and features an adjustable hover-spray range from +20° upward to -40° downward, allowing cleaning of overhangs, window ledges, undersides, and irregular surfaces that are difficult or dangerous to reach manually. Its modular nozzle system supports different cleaning chemicals and spray patterns depending on the application.
Wisson’s Pliabot® self-balancing gimbal technology actively compensates for recoil, sway, and movement caused by high-pressure spraying. This improves flight stability while reducing collision risk to buildings, operators, and the drone itself. Additional safety systems include propeller guards, tether backup protection, and real-time distance sensing.
The system is designed for a wide range of commercial cleaning applications, including:
According to Wisson Robotics, the AP3-P3 can achieve cleaning rates of up to 8,600 sq ft per hour while reducing operational costs by up to 84% compared to traditional rope-access or manual cleaning methods.
