Marion, Ohio — Edge-Native Autonomous Systems

Autonomous drones with on-device AI.

We build fully autonomous drone systems that see, think, and act — entirely on-device. Real-time AI perception and reasoning powered by NVIDIA Jetson. No cloud. No latency. No compromises.

Edge-AI · Zero Cloud Dependency

One AI brain.
Every mission.

Our drone runs a complete edge-AI stack on NVIDIA Jetson hardware: YOLOv8 object detection compiled to TensorRT FP16 running simultaneously with a vision-language model for scene reasoning — all on-board, in real time. Persistent temporal memory tracks entities across flights. Closed-loop actuation means the drone doesn't just observe — it decides and acts.

Use Cases

Built for the people who need it most.

The same edge-AI core adapts to radically different missions — from scouting soybean fields in Ohio to providing aerial overwatch for first responders to autonomous property security for everyday people.

🌾

Agriculture

Autonomous crop scouting that replaces manual field walks. The Scout drone flies zone-based missions, detects crop diseases across 11 pathology classes in real time, and delivers actionable reports through a farmer-facing dashboard — no agronomist wait times, no cloud uploads of your field data.

  • 11-class Ohio crop pathology detection
  • Zone-based autonomous mission planning
  • BME280 environmental sensing integration
  • FastAPI farmer dashboard with SQLite logging
  • YOLO + VLM dual inference on-device
  • Your field data never leaves the drone
🚒

First Responders

Situational awareness when minutes matter. Edge-AI perception gives fire, rescue, and law enforcement real-time aerial intelligence with person detection, thermal-ready architecture, and autonomous scene mapping — without depending on cell towers or cloud infrastructure that fails when you need it most.

  • Real-time person and vehicle detection
  • Works offline — no cell or cloud dependency
  • Audio detection via YAMNet integration
  • DepthAnything V2 spatial awareness
  • SHA-256 evidence chain of custody
  • Ground station with Whisper voice control
🛡

Security

The Baldwin security drone runs autonomous patrols with persistent temporal memory — it remembers what it saw last patrol, matches against BOLO lists, and makes real-time threat assessments through edge VLM reasoning. Provisional patent filed with 8 claims covering the temporal reasoning architecture.

  • Cross-patrol temporal entity tracking
  • BOLO list matching on-device
  • Dual-pipeline: YOLO TensorRT + edge VLM
  • Closed-loop autonomous actuation
  • 8-state flight commander state machine
  • Cryptographic evidence integrity
Technology

The edge-AI perception pipeline.

Every byte of sensor data is processed, reasoned about, and acted on at the edge. No cloud round-trips. No data exfiltration. No single points of failure. This is the core architecture protected by our provisional patent.

01

Capture

Multi-sensor input — camera, depth, audio, environmental — streamed through ROS 2 nodes at the edge.

02

Detect

YOLOv8 compiled to TensorRT FP16 for real-time object detection at 11-15 FPS on Jetson Orin hardware.

03

Reason

Vision-language model runs locally for scene understanding, threat assessment, or crop diagnosis — zero API calls.

04

Remember

Temporal entity tracking persists across missions. The system builds context over time — cross-patrol memory on-device.

05

Decide

8-state flight commander evaluates perception data against mission parameters and autonomously selects next action.

06

Act

Closed-loop actuation through PX4. AI perception feeds directly into flight control for autonomous response.
