50 Hz Hardware-In-The-Loop Autonomy

Autonomous Precision Landing for UAVs
on Moving Targets up to 30 km/h

AeroLander Tech builds the AI flight control software that enables standard ArduPilot quadcopters to track, approach, and land on high-speed rovers, naval boats, and moving landing pads with reliable sub-15 cm precision.

Runway Trials

30 km/h Moving Rover

Autonomous quadcopters successfully tracking and landing on autonomous 6-wheel rover platforms traveling at speeds up to 30 km/h across irregular runways.

Autonomous Drone Landing on High-Speed Coast Guard Boat
Maritime Autonomy

Coast Guard Boat Decks

Precision touchdown on marine boats cutting through ocean waves with pitch and roll motion tracking, eliminating dangerous manual net catches.

Drone Optical Gimbal Tracking ArUco Marker
Sensor Fusion

Active Gimbal & ArUco

Dual nested ArUco visual markers (40cm + 10cm) fused with Kalman filtering and coarse UWB range sensing for 100% visual tracking down to touchdown.

Reinforcement Learning Flight Policy

Built for High-Speed Flight Dynamics

Traditional PID controllers lag when tracking accelerating targets. AeroLander replaces slow cascaded loops with a direct, real-time neural flight policy.

Direct 50 Hz Rate Control

Directly outputs collective thrust fraction and 3-axis body angular rates streamed via MAVLink at 50 Hz.

  • Zero lag attitude inner-loop response
  • 4.8 ms policy inference on Raspberry Pi 5

Multi-Marker Visual Tracking

Dual nested ArUco marker configuration (40cm outer + 10cm inner) enables uninterrupted visual tracking from 18m altitude down to contact.

  • Tolerates up to 60% temporary camera dropouts
  • 3D solvePnP with continuous Kalman filtering

Massive GPU Parallel Training

Trained across 4,096 parallel environments simulating wind gusts, motor lag, ground effects, and camera latency.

  • 1 Billion flight steps simulated in under 2 hours
  • Direct real-world transfer without retraining
Flight Test Data

Sim-to-Real Flight Benchmarks

Tested across 1,000 randomized simulation & real flight runs under adverse wind and high-speed moving target maneuvers (0–30 km/h).
