Manriix
Autonomous Robot. Drone Photography. Drone Mapping. One connected platform that turns every event into a living, data-generating brand experience.
Intelligence
Events generate moments, but lose most of their value after the lights go down.
Events are one of the most powerful marketing tools available to brands, yet most fail to capture their full potential. Photography is reactive. Branding is static. Guest data goes uncollected.
Manriix turns every event into a living, breathing, data-generating brand experience.
Manriix is an integrated ecosystem of three intelligent units that work together in real time. They communicate through a shared cloud intelligence platform, ensuring seamless coordination, comprehensive coverage, and a unified data output.
Manriix Robot
Autonomous ground-level engagement, photography, branding, and data capture.
Manriix Drone Cam
Aerial photography and videography for cinematic event coverage.
Manriix Drone Map
Real-time aerial mapping, crowd flow analysis, and venue intelligence.
A 5'9" autonomous robot that engages, photographs, brands, and captures data.
The centrepiece of the ecosystem. Navigates autonomously using LIDAR, identifies key moments with dual HD cameras, and engages guests through voice. A truly interactive brand ambassador.
Autonomous Navigation
LIDAR-based obstacle avoidance and crowd navigation.
AI Photography
Identifies peak moments and captures them in real time.
Dual 32" Displays
Dynamic branding, sponsor content, and live feeds.
Voice Interaction
Event info, sponsor announcements, and entertainment.
Data Capture
Customisable guest data collection: name, email, social.
Instant Photo Delivery
Branded photos sent to guests via QR code in seconds.
8-Hour Battery
Full event coverage on a single charge.
Branded Wraps
Custom skins to align with sponsor or event identity.
Every event deserves a bird's-eye view. Cinematic aerial storytelling.
Professional aerial photography and videography that captures the scale, energy, and atmosphere of events from above. Operates in coordination with the ground robot, receiving real-time cues so coverage is always where the action is.
4K Aerial Video
Cinematic-quality footage of the entire event space.
High-Res Photography
Stunning overhead stills for marketing and media.
Robot Coordination
Drone follows cues from the ground robot to capture key moments.
Crowd Overviews
Sweeping shots that capture the scale and energy.
Post-Event Content
Aerial footage packaged as ready-to-use marketing assets.
Highlight Reels
Automated compilation of best aerial moments.
Drone mapping transforms event venues into intelligent, data-rich environments.
Goes beyond photography. Using advanced photogrammetry and mapping software, the Drone Map unit creates detailed 2D and 3D maps of the venue, feeding the ground robot's navigation, analysing crowd flow, and giving operators actionable intelligence.
2D & 3D Venue Mapping
Accurate, detailed maps created before and during the event.
Crowd Flow Analysis
Real-time data on where guests are congregating and moving.
Robot Navigation
Mapping data feeds directly into the ground robot's nav system.
Hotspot Identification
Identifies high-engagement zones for targeted branding.
Venue Intelligence
Post-event reports on space utilisation and movement.
Pre-Event Planning
Aerial maps used for layout and logistics optimisation.
Three units, one brain. The Manriix ecosystem communicates in real time.
The true power of Manriix lies in integration. The Cloud Intelligence Platform acts as the central nervous system, enabling real-time communication and coordination between the ground robot and both drones.
Manriix sits at the intersection of three high-growth markets.
Manriix operates across three converging high-growth markets (events, drone services, and event technology), creating a unique opportunity for an integrated platform.
| Market Segment | 2024 Value | Projected Value | CAGR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global Events Industry | USD 1.33 Trillion | USD 3.47 Trillion (2033) | ~10.0% |
| Drone Services Market | USD 17.0 Billion | USD 57.8 Billion (2028) | 27.7% |
| Drone Photography Services | USD 2.79 Billion | USD 13.16 Billion (2032) | 21.4% |
| Event Technology Platforms | USD 15.5 Billion | USD 34.7 Billion (2029) | ~17.0% |
Engineered, not imported. A defensible advantage built on home ground.
Manriix is designed, manufactured, and operated from Sri Lanka. Every unit is iterated locally, every deployment is supported by a team on the ground, and every cost line stays leaner than imported robotics. The result is faster cycles, deeper IP, and a structural advantage no overseas competitor can replicate.
In-House Engineering
Hardware and software both built locally. No overseas dependencies, no slow procurement loops.
Manufacturing Cost Edge
Local assembly keeps the BOM significantly below imported robotics, passed on as competitive pricing.
Owned IP & Software
Full control over the Cloud Intelligence platform. No licensing leaks, no third-party lock-in.
Rapid Iteration
Hardware tweaks and firmware updates ship in days, not quarters. The whole loop sits in one country.
On-Ground Operations
A local technical team handles every deployment, support call, and on-site supervision.
Custom-Built per Client
Bespoke branding, language packs, and hardware configurations turned around in-country.
Live deployments, real events. Tap any photo to see Manriix in the wild.
