Dronomy.io is developing an affordable,
lightweight, and robust replicator UAV (unmanned aerial
vehicle). Utilizing UAVCAN v1 (or Cyphal),
Dronomy.io’s UAV is considered a software-defined
vehicle, as it abstracts vehicular communication
and control into a standardized, software-driven
protocol. This approach shifts traditional hardwarecentric
vehicles into adaptable, software-defined
platforms, enhancing efficiency, reliability, and
adaptability to meet the evolving demands of
modern transportation and robotics. Current
underlying physical layer protocol is CAN FD,
but it can accommodate Ethernet or wireless
communication in future as UAVCAN v1 is
physical layer transport agnostic. With the CAN
protocol, electromagnetic interference is effectively
managed. Most of the important UAV components
like flight controller, Electronin Speed Controller
(ESC), Onboard computer, Battery Management
System (BMS) etc are also secured. Seamless
operation is ensured as collaborative components
such as the flight controller, gimbal, GPS, ESCs,
and BMS communicate seamlessly via CANBus.
The UAV will support GPS-denied autonomy at
level 4 capability. Additionally, the integration of
NDAA-compliant communication technology from
Doodlelabs.com enhances operational efficiency,
reliability, and extends the UAV’s range. This
software-defined vehicle concept can potentially
extend to UGVs (Unmanned Ground Vehicles) as
well.
Our Mission
To revolutionize UAV and UGV design with a software-defined vehicle paradigm, offering advanced autonomy capabilities at an affordable price.
Our Vision
To be the leading provider of ARM-based platforms for replicator UAV, trusted by industries worldwide for their critical projects.
