Autonimo

Micro-class autonomous waypoint platform.

Active Development
AutonomousiNavGPSMicro

Autonimo is a custom 3D-printed micro quad built from the ground up for fully autonomous GPS waypoint missions. At roughly 235g AUW on a 3-inch prop platform, it's engineered for efficiency — not speed. Equipped with a UBLOX M10 GPS — one of the smallest M10-equipped quads in existence — and a SpeedyBee F405 Mini running iNav, it takes off, executes a programmed route, and lands without any pilot input. A 3S Li-ion pack built from Molicel P26A cells targets 45–50 minutes of flight time, making it one of the longest-endurance platforms at this size class. Initial waypoint missions are flying. Tuning, range testing, and mission refinement are ongoing.

Long Range Vision Drone

7-inch open source long range FPV platform with real-time aerial computer vision.

In Development
Computer VisionFPVELRSiNavOpen SourceSurveillance

A 7-inch long range FPV drone engineered for real-time aerial computer vision and multi-mission intelligence work. The entire stack is open source and open protocol — ELRS 2.4GHz handles the control link (open source, encrypted binding phrase, sub-10ms latency), Walksnail Avatar Moonlight delivers HD digital FPV video on an open platform, and iNav provides GPS-enabled autonomous waypoint navigation and return-to-home. The primary mission target is vehicle counting: fly over a parking lot and autonomously classify and count cars in real time using a Roboflow YOLOv5n model running on an onboard Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. v1 architecture pipes the vision feed through a downward-angled analog camera to a ground VRX and into a laptop for live inference monitoring. v2 upgrades to a Raspberry Pi 4 with a Google Coral AI accelerator — fully local onboard inference, zero ground transmission dependency, and on-aircraft data logging. No ground station. No uplink required. The platform is intentionally modular: swap the model, swap the mission. Current and planned applications include surveillance and perimeter monitoring, defense and intelligence gathering, battlefield and area reconnaissance, livestock and agricultural health monitoring, infrastructure and pipeline inspection, and vehicle or personnel detection for security operations. Built as a reusable edge compute airframe, not a single-purpose tool.

TinySub

Sub-$350 autonomous torpedo-style UUV.

In Development
AutonomousAUVUnderwaterSwarm

A compact torpedo-profile autonomous underwater vehicle designed for stealth recon and swarm applications. Built around simplicity — two thrusters (rear axial for propulsion, front transverse for yaw steering), variable buoyancy via peristaltic pump and syringe ballast system, and a surface bobber with ELRS receiver for RF comms that sidesteps the RF-through-water problem entirely. Saltwater-tolerant from day one with 316SS hardware, PETG hull, and double O-ring penetrations.
