Tesla Aerial Robotics

Tesla Aerial Robotics makes AIOS, which the company calls an Aerial Intelligence Operating System for drones. The company's site is aerialrobotics.ai. The site says AIOS is hardware agnostic and works with many manufacturers, types and sizes of drones.

The site says AIOS is software that flies drones from uploaded flight plans. It describes takeoff with no manual input, route navigation, precision targeting and recovery. It says the system supports beyond visual line of sight operations, so a pilot does not need to keep a drone in sight.

The site describes real time 3D mapping with LiDAR scanners. It says edge computing processes point cloud data on the drone to recalculate paths around moving objects.

The site lists services that drones with AIOS can provide. These include inspection of buildings, bridges, power lines and pipelines, surveying of land and construction sites, mapping, monitoring, search, rescue, gas leak and fire detection, measuring, aerial imaging, temporary communications and property patrols.

The site lists decision making features. These include mission prioritization, weather adaptation, contingency rerouting, energy checks against delivery goals, swarm deconfliction, and fail safe execution. The site calls the core method active inference AI.

The site says the software is the drone's decision layer. It says it manages a mission without continuous human piloting. The site describes a cycle of perceive, understand, decide, act, verify and adapt.

The site has no phone number or street address in the text reviewed. Its main content describes the software and its services. The site also has a video that explains how the system works. The site says AIOS removes the need for on site manual handling. It describes the current model, in which operators travel to the location, pilot the drone by hand and swap batteries. The site lists Continuing AIOS and Commercial Flight Operations sections, which describe the decision layer in more detail.
