Power Your Site with AI-Driven Drone Autonomy

AI-R is FlytBase’s on-site AI system that enables drones to operate autonomously with real-time detection and response, without cloud dependency.

True Drone Autonomy Requires Local Intelligence Not Cloud

Today’s drones are automated, not autonomous. Most systems rely on cloud infrastructure to analyze footage and trigger alerts but that model breaks where it matters most. In low-bandwidth environments, alerts are delayed. In regulated sectors, cloud use triggers compliance red flags. In critical moments, drones become passive observers. For security, energy, and infrastructure teams that’s not just inconvenient. It’s unacceptable.

Introducing AI-R

Meet AI-R: The Edge AI Engine for Real-Time Intelligence

AI-R brings advanced visual intelligence directly to your deployment site. It doesn’t sit in the cloud. It runs on ruggedized edge compute, deployed in trailers, server rooms, or secure command centers analyzing drone video feeds on-prem, 24/7. With AI-R, your drone system doesn’t just report what’s happening.It acts.

Hardware Compatibility


Works seamlessly with all DJI Dock models (1, 2, and 3). Fully integrated with live video, telemetry, and payload systems to deliver consistent performance across diverse sites and deployment setups.

Meet AI-R Edge

A compact, industrial-grade Accelerated Compute Unit (ACU) that empowers docked drones to be truly intelligent. Deployable in a dock’s communication box or a central server rack, AI-R Edge offers flexible installation options to fit any enterprise environment. Currently compatible with DJI Dock, DJI Dock 2 and DJI Dock 3.
