Fotokite is a Switzerland-based company that develops tethered aerial robotics for public-safety applications. Based in Zurich, Canton of Zürich, the company grounds its technology in a tethered platform that uses an onboard inertial measurement unit to determine its position relative to the operator, enabling rapid, GPS-independent deployment without trained pilots. Its core control concepts were developed through years of research at ETH Zurich, supporting intuitive operation for firefighting and other public-safety use cases. Its customers include fire departments, law enforcement, and other industrial-safety teams seeking real-time aerial awareness for emergency response. In the public-safety segment, the company emphasizes accountable, deployable solutions that address safety and regulatory considerations. In March 2026, Fotokite announced an integration with Dell to deliver live situational awareness on Dell Rugged tablets used by responders.
