KEF Robotics

Founded 2018

Navigate autonomous aircraft and drones in GPS-denied environments using onboard cameras and computer vision

You can use KEF Robotics to fly aircraft and drones without human pilots or GPS access. The system uses visual inertial odometry and terrain relative navigation to calculate position, velocity, and altitude using onboard cameras. It mimics standard GPS signals so you can connect it directly to existing aircraft autopilots without changing flight control software. You can operate during daytime, nighttime, or bad weather at low and high altitudes. The software maintains low drift rates even during dynamic maneuvers and in environments where GPS is jammed.
