ARA Robotics, founded in 2014, is a Quebec company based in Montreal providing technology in the field of commercial and civilian UAS. Its flight controller technology, the SKYMATE, is currently integrated into several Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) manufacturers in North America and supports the safe integration of their products into civilian airspace.
The company also develops dedicated UAS solutions for survey and mapping applications. These aircraft are designed to evolve in industrial and urban environments without compromising performance, precision and quality.
ARA Robotics’ cutting-edge expertise allows it to constantly integrate new technologies in electronics and robotics to continually improve the reliability and accuracy of automated aircraft. ARA Robotics works with the Canadian industry to develop UAS for reconnaissance missions into GPS-Denied environments.
ARA Robotics’ goal is to push the automation of the missions of each UAS by developing tools for the perception, analysis and measurement of the environment. Working closely with North American research labs and businesses, to advance research in its various priority development areas. ARA Robotics collaborates in North American technological research projects focusing on advanced aircraft control, accuracy, and reliability of inertial navigation solutions coupled with different sensors, as well as software to manage UAS and their data.
