Introduction

Homepage Brief Introduction

We specialize in the secondary development and industry-specific integration of open-source drones. Building upon mature drone platforms, we utilize Pixhawk flight controllers, Raspberry Pi onboard computing platforms, and the ROS2 (Fast DDS) robotics framework to execute hardware modifications, multi-sensor fusion, automated flight script development, onboard data acquisition, and 3D visualization.

Rather than manufacturing airframes or basic flight controllers from scratch, we focus on high-level secondary development, multi-payload integration, and real-world industry implementation. Our team is expert in the integration and calibration of sensors such as LiDAR, infrared thermal imagers, and visible-light cameras. We support the development of applications for automated inspections, aerial surveying and modeling, and target recognition, providing government, enterprise, engineering, and energy clients with end-to-end drone project delivery, field flight operations, and data reporting.

We possess expertise in low-level drone communication and onboard software development, alongside extensive practical experience in executing field projects and winning competitive bids.

Business Model: We operate on a project-based model with two core business areas: ƒ secondary development of onboard drone systems and customized sensor integration; and ƒ low-altitude remote sensing services—such as aerial surveying and inspections—complemented by equipment rental.

Industry Value: Many organizations purchase drone hardware but lack the capabilities for autonomous flight development or multi-sensor fusion, leaving them reliant on manual piloting. We bridge this gap by providing onboard development and automated mission capabilities, transforming standard drone hardware into intelligent low-altitude data acquisition terminals capable of autonomously executing industry-specific tasks.
