Precision Landing System
With Widest Compatibility
Autonomously land or hover any drone over a visual target for use-cases such as delivery, drone-in-a-box, warehouse or asset inspection. FlytDock is compatible with all major drone platforms.
Benefits of Precision Landing in Drone Operations
The ability to navigate with reliability, stability and precision is a core requirement for autonomous drone operations. Landing, in particular, must be done precisely, whether on a charging pad or a target docking station. For long duration, repeatable, BVLOS missions, customers usually deploy drone-in-a-box solutions with landing platforms. Such drone ground stations require the drone to take-off, hover and land very accurately. Precision landing can be further complicated due to indoor operations with weak/no GPS, or landing on moving platforms. FlytDock enables the drone to accurately land in such scenarios.
Fully Autonomous
System can land itself, reattempt landing if lost tag, or trigger fail-safe based on external conditions.
Vision Based
Sophisticated computer vision and landing algorithms to detect and approach the landing site.
Low Complexity
Eliminates the need of any external sensors. Just requires a small single board computer and onboard camera.
Scalable
API endpoints and edge management through cloud with multiple site detection and custom tag assignment.

See FlytDock in Action
FlytDock is a precision target landing solution which supports widest range of drones. Powered by FlytOS, this intelligent solution utilizes computer vision techniques and dedicated landing algorithms to precisely align, approach and land the multirotor on the ArUco Tag on ground. FlytDock offers flexibility to use combination of ground tags depending upon the size/shape of your landing platform/docking station.

Use with Prosumer Drones
Prosumer drones are rapidly maturing and are available at extremely compelling price points – thus driving enterprise drone applications. FlytDock Pro enables you to use drones like DJI Mavic and Phantom series to with your Drone-in-a-Box (DIAB) solutions. FlytDock Pro also supports precision landing in a GPS-denied indoor environment. This is extremely helpful for landing drones on inductive or conductive charging pads to automate drone operations.

How Does it Work?
FlytDock allows autonomous landing of a drone on a visual marker. It is a software module which uses a downward looking monocular camera to detect fiducial markers. These markers (ArUco Tags) can be printed and used as landing sites. Pose is estimated using the tag size and calibrated camera information. No other equipment such as lidar or rangefinder is required, as the altitude and location for landing site are found just using the pose estimation of the markers. The software controller precisely maneuvers the drone to the desired landing site using FlytAPIs. A web app utility is provided for configuration and monitoring over local network or cloud.
