The universal autonomy brain
A decade of programmable flight control, fused with multi-modal sensing and an on-device mission-AI agent. The drone takes a brief — and runs the mission.
From programmable flight controllers to a universal autonomy platform
First programmable industrial flight controller in 2015. Four hardware generations on, the architecture is now Smart Pilot — universal autonomy brain for drones, eVTOL, and AMR.
- Four generations of programmable flight controller (2015 → Smart Pilot)
- ARM dual-core compute + FPGA hardware acceleration
- 20+ onboard sensor types supported simultaneously
- Reconfigurable software / hardware for high-customization workloads
Vision · LIDAR · mmWave radar — fused into a 3D semantic map
Vision + LIDAR + mmWave fused in real time. Output isn't a point cloud — it's a 3D semantic map labelled on-device. Decisions on the map, not on pixels.
- Vision + LIDAR + mmWave radar fusion
- On-device 3D semantic segmentation
- RTK-grounded sub-centimeter localization
- Real-time map updates against pre-loaded site models
L3–L4 autonomous flight — adaptive, robust, talk-to-task
Adaptive flight control on deep RL — wind, EMI, complex environments. Mission AI takes a natural-language task and decomposes it into a trajectory plan. The drone runs. Operators step in only on exception.
- Deep RL flight control with adaptive gain scheduling
- On-device LLM agent for natural-language task understanding
- Automatic task decomposition · path planning · real-time decision
- Anti-interference control for EMI-rich environments
- L3 → L4 autonomy — operator only on exception
From perception to action — voice, payload, manipulation, drop
Not flying cameras — aerial robots. The payload ecosystem broadcasts voice, displays dynamic information, grasps objects, precision-drops supplies. Coordinated air + ground handling.
- Voice broadcast / megaphone — crowd guidance, warning, evacuation
- LED display module — dynamic signage and scene information
- Mechanical arm — grasping, manipulation, hazardous-material handling
- Air-drop module — precision supply delivery for SAR and logistics
