About Aeris Robotics

Aeris Robotics started in 2025 with a question: what happens when you give an AI direct control over a physical drone? Not simulated control. Not a chatbot that suggests waypoints. Actual flight authority — arm the motors, take off, fly to a location, come home.

The first version was a C++ SDK that turned raw PX4 flight controller topics into simple commands. Then it went on a real airframe and flew. Then it got an AI agent that could receive an emergency report and autonomously dispatch a drone to the scene in about ten seconds.

That system — DroneOS — placed 5th out of 4,410 participants at the LaunchFund AI Meets Robotics hackathon in February 2026 and is being presented at NVIDIA GTC 2026.
