Rhoman Aerospace

Corporate marketperceptiondevtoolsCurated record

Rhoman builds vision-based GPS-denied flight-control and navigation software for drones, deployed as a software download onto vehicles running the PX4 or ArduPilot autopilot stacks. Its vision-navigation system fuses onboard cameras, IMU data, and feature/pixel tracking so a UAV knows its position relative to launch with no pre-loaded terrain map, enabling BVLOS and GPS-denied operation up to ~5km. It also offers custom PX4 stack tuning, vision-based obstacle avoidance integration, and ML-optimized flight controls for energy savings. The software is robot-primary: it is the autonomy/perception layer for drones, not a general-purpose tool.
