Alongside client work, we run R&D on an autonomous agricultural drone, edge AI and computer vision, and making AI agents reliable. Every program is labeled honestly: in development or ongoing. What we learn here goes into every product we build for clients.
Our autonomous agricultural drone · In development
IN DEVELOPMENT
Autonomous agricultural drone platform
Our flagship programme: a precision-spraying and field-intelligence platform that joins robotics, edge AI and agronomy in one system. It is the hardest problem we work on, which is why we work on it.
Autonomous flight and mission planning
Vision-guided, targeted application
Ground-station and operator software
Field validation is the next milestone
ONGOING
Edge AI and computer vision
Running perception on the device itself - detecting, classifying and deciding without a round trip to the cloud. The same discipline applies to a drone, a phone or a factory camera.
On-device inference on embedded GPUs
Camera pipelines and sensor fusion
Model optimisation for constrained hardware
Reliable behaviour with intermittent connectivity
ONGOING
Agent reliability and evaluation
Agents are easy to demo and hard to trust. We research how to test them against real cases, limit what they can do, and monitor what they did - so they can be given real work.
Evaluation harnesses built from real tasks
Permission boundaries and approval flows
Tracing and audit of every agent step
Failure analysis and recovery patterns
ONGOING
Simulation and digital twins
Real-time 3D models of machines and missions let us design, test and explain a system before it exists. It is also how we turn hard engineering into something an operator can understand.
Real-time 3D scene and telemetry visualisation
Mission and flight simulation
Interactive component and assembly models
Operator-facing dashboards
WHY R&D LIVES IN A STUDIO
One discipline, two outputs.
01
Practice, not claims
Building our own machines is how we know what we are talking about when we build yours.
02
Reusable engineering
Edge inference, vision, real-time systems and reliability work carry straight into client projects.
03
Honest status
Every programme is labelled for what it is - in development, ongoing - and we say so plainly.
