Founded in 2014, Autel Robotics Co., Ltd. presents itself as a civil UAV company focused on the R&D, design, manufacturing, and sales of drone products. Its public site emphasizes consumer, professional, and enterprise UAV lines rather than a single military niche.

This builder catalog page exists because cataloged Autel systems span the EVO, Dragonfish, and enterprise product families, giving the catalog a way to group those drone entries under one sourced manufacturer profile.
