UAVenture AG
Swiss flight-control software company near Zurich; develops the PX4-based VTOL OS autopilot stack and AirRails ground control for hybrid VTOL drones.
UAVenture AG is a Swiss software company based in Aarau, near Zurich, Switzerland, that develops autopilot and ground control software for unmanned aircraft, with a focus on hybrid VTOL platforms that take off vertically and cruise as fixed-wing aircraft. The team combines software developers and robotics engineers and is an active contributor to the open source PX4 flight control project, particularly its hybrid VTOL code.
The core product is VTOL OS, released in 2021 as the successor to the company's AirRails autopilot. It runs on Pixhawk-class avionics with a companion mission computer that hosts custom containerized applications, and provides obstacle avoidance, terrain following, GPS-denied navigation, precision positioning and safety functions for beyond-visual-line-of-sight and fully autonomous operations. The architecture decouples the autopilot from the ground station and exposes an open integration protocol and API so integrators can build their own interfaces and embed the mission core in automated workflows. AirRails Agri pairs the autopilot with computer vision for crop-spraying and seeding drones, and the AirRails Ground Control Station remains available for mapping, agricultural missions and drone configuration. Wingcopter uses the stack on its VTOL aircraft, and the company names Daedalean, SUIND and ComQuest Ventures as partners.
