Skydio Autonomy

Make Skydio Autonomy your advantage

Get started

For the past ten years, we’ve built the skills of an expert pilot into our hardware and software so you can fly further, safer, and better, day or night. It takes the most sophisticated AI and the most advanced sensors in the world to see and solve complex navigation in real time. But that’s the power of Skydio Autonomy: intuitive, perceptive, and ready for action. So you can do more of what you do best.

How Skydio Autonomy works for you

We do the flying. So you can focus on the task at hand.

Backed by an onboard NVIDIA Jetson Orin GPU, Skydio X10 has the compute capacity to see, understand, and react in real time.

With the skills of an expert pilot built in, Skydio drones excel in complex environments where others falter, automatically avoiding obstacles as small as a 1/2" wire and empowering anyone to fly with confidence.

Eliminate blind spots.
Six custom 360 degree nav cameras eliminate blind spots and avoid even tiny obstacles.

Make the right decision, every time.
Skydio's predictive AI algorithm is trained on nearly a decade of flying hours, making the right decision for every mission.

We determine — then fly — the most effective route. You get the time to prepare for the mission.

In DFR Command or Remote Ops, simply select your destination. Skydio Pathfinder considers terrain data, building data, geofences, your policies, airspace regulations and more to autonomously plan, then execute the flight plan. Even in the most complex environments, Pathfinder ensures the most effective route is flown. It even follows terrain elevation to keep a constant altitude AGL.

We autonomously fly in the dark. So you can extend operations 24/7.

Skydio X10 first-of-its-kind night time navigation avoiding obstacles and tree branches

A first-of-its kind nighttime navigation system for the Skydio X10 lets you fly in darkness or in low-light environments, with computer vision interpreting flight paths and avoiding obstacles to extend autonomous capabilities 24/7.

Now, you can bring the power of autonomous flight to tight indoor inspections, poorly lit infrastructure, and nighttime operations, with capabilities that other drones can only dream of.

Add-on lighting attachments provide active infrared or visible illumination.

We automate data capture. So you can get insights faster.

An advanced Spatial AI Engine provides Skydio drones complete awareness of their surroundings.

So you can repeat flights with centimeter-level consistency, conduct targeted inspections automatically, and build 2D and 3D models on the vehicle, in the field, in minutes. Complex data capture doesn't get more groundbreaking (or easier) than this.

We get there and get you home. All you do is press a button.

Navigate complex sites even where there's no GPS available, as in this parking garage. Ground breaking algorithms help the drone reason in 3D space to build an understanding of the environment in mid air.

Because X10 constantly maps its environment as it flies through it, when the mission is complete, it knows the safest way back home.

Trustworthy autonomy is not an add-on. It's an architecture.
