Skydio is a leading American drone manufacturer that stands out in the market due to its strong focus on Artificial Intelligence-powered autonomous flight. Founded in 2014, the company is dedicated to creating drones capable of not just flying, but intelligently interacting with their environment. The central element of their technology is the Skydio Autonomy Engine, an advanced system that uses computer vision from multiple cameras to build a detailed 3D map of the space around the drone in real time. This allows Skydio drones to navigate safely and autonomously even in the most complex environments, automatically avoiding obstacles from all sides (360-degree Obstacle Avoidance) without requiring constant manual control from an operator.
Beyond autonomous navigation, Skydio drones have outstanding capabilities for intelligent object tracking (AI Subject Tracking). They can automatically follow moving people, vehicles, or other objects, predicting their movements and keeping them in frame for high-quality aerial imaging or monitoring. These features are widely used by consumers for creating dynamic videos, as well as in the professional sphere. In the enterprise and public safety sectors, Skydio drones are used for autonomous inspection of hard-to-reach or dangerous assets (Autonomous Inspection), automated data collection for mapping and modeling, and real-time situational awareness during emergency operations.
The Skydio product line includes various models such as the Skydio 2+, X2, and the latest X10, each adapted for specific tasks and operating conditions. The integration of hardware (cameras, sensors, powerful onboard computers) with proprietary software and AI algorithms is a key factor ensuring their autonomy. Skydio also offers a developed ecosystem including mobile apps for control, the Skydio Cloud platform for data and workflow management, and the Skydio Extend platform with an SDK for third-party developers, allowing the creation of custom solutions and integration of drone capabilities into existing enterprise systems. Thus, Skydio positions itself not just as a drone manufacturer, but as a leader in autonomous aerial robotics, offering intelligent solutions for a wide range of tasks.
