UAV & Robotics Systems
Airframe to autonomy, including the parts nobody wants to own.
Whole-vehicle work rather than one slice of it: structures, propulsion, avionics, telemetry and autonomous behaviour, plus the fabrication to actually build the thing. I have taken vehicles from a requirement to a flying, tested prototype across electric, turbine and underwater propulsion.
What you can hire me for
- 01Design and fabricate a purpose-built airframe for a payload or mission
- 02Select and validate propulsion, including thrust-stand testing
- 03Integrate and tune a flight stack (ArduPilot, PX4, MAVLink)
- 04Implement autonomous behaviours: docking, station-keeping, swarm coordination
- 05Diagnose a vehicle that flies but does not behave
Where this shows up
Air-and-Water Autonomous Vehicle
AQUAD: a single vehicle that flies to a site, submerges, manoeuvres underwater and returns to the air, on one charge. Built against a brief targeting ocean worlds such as Europa.
Read →02Wireless Power and Data Transfer
Paired resonant Tesla coils beaming power and low-frequency data across a gap with no conductor between them, and the electromagnetic compatibility engineering needed to keep nearby avionics alive.
Read →03Autonomous Aerial Docking and Recharge
A heavy-lift carrier UAV acting as an airborne charging hub and data relay, letting micro-drones dock in flight to recharge, offload sensor data and borrow GPU cycles.
Read →04Morphing-Geometry Multirotor
A multirotor whose thruster pods pivot and slide on servo-driven rails, shifting from a wide-span cruise configuration to a compact footprint that fits through doorways and pipe racks.
Read →05Natural-Language Flight Control
A chat-to-fly interface for UAV operators: spoken or typed instructions translated directly into flight commands by a language model running on the aircraft, not in a datacentre.
Read →06Turbine-Powered VTOL Platform
A VTOL airframe driven by twin JetCat P60 micro-turbines instead of electric rotors: over 13 kg of combined thrust and fixed-wing cruise speeds, while keeping multirotor agility for vertical take-off.
