Research

Current focus areas across safety, networking, web control, AI assistance, perception, simulation, and multi‑drone ops.

Remote Ops over 4G/VPN

Reliable ROS 2 over WAN using Fast DDS SERVER/SUPER_CLIENT, interface whitelisting, and host networking.

Built-In Safety & Failsafes

Preflight checks, geofence/altitude invariants, and RTL/land behaviors to keep operations safe by default.

Web Control, Secure by Default

rosbridge with tight allowlists and rate limits to expose only what is needed from the graph.

AI Copilot with Guardrails

Natural-language helpers constrained by validate-before-act and bounded tool use.

Edge Perception

Edge TPU pipelines detect and tag onboard, streaming only ROIs/keyframes to save bandwidth.

Sim-to-Flight Validation

Scenario-driven SITL runs and log replay ensure changes pass in sim before hardware.

Multi-Drone Operations

Namespaced topics/services and UI affordances for managing multiple aircraft from one GCS.

Security & Compliance

Secretless configs, provenance checks, and optional SROS2 per-node permissions.
