Spleenlab is a developer of safe artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies that enable highly reliable perception and autonomy for drones and self-driving vehicles. UST is delighted to welcome Spleenlab on board as a supplier partner, and we will be highlighting their unique solutions and capabilities across our channels over the next 12 months.
We’ve just launched Spleenlab’s UST supplier profile, which has been written and built by our team in collaboration with the company. The Silver profile showcases their VISIONAIRY® modular software suite, which provides a wide range of capabilities for airborne and ground-based vehicles. It can be integrated with all leading drone flight controllers and robotic operating systems including PX4, Auterion and ROS.

VISIONAIRY’s powerful capabilities empower a wide range of advanced applications for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), including:
GPS-Denied: VISIONAIRY® provides cutting-edge SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) capabilities that enable precision autonomous navigation even in the absence of GPS and GNSS signals. This allows for vision-based landing and the traversal of challenging environments such as underground and in urban canyons.
Collision Avoidance: VISIONAIRY®’s collision avoidance software provides reliable object detection at ranges of up to 100 metres, and is compatible with any RGB and infrared cameras and gimbals on the market. This critical capability is essential for BVLOS and fully autonomous operations, and enables a wide range of use cases including drone delivery, wide-area mapping and surveying, and navigation in GNSS-denied areas.
Safe Precision Landing: VISIONAIRY® enables safe fully-automated precision with centimetre-level accuracy both during the day and at night, detecting all obstacles and moving objects within the landing zone including vehicles, people and animals. The software supports all UAS cameras and LiDAR scanners, and utilizes redundant design to ensure safe operation.
Industrial Inspection: The powerful software enables fully autonomous inspection of power lines, wind turbines, roads and railways, pipelines, and a wide array of other industrial assets. With real-time navigation capabilities and the highest performance-to-weight ratio on the market, VISIONAIRY® allows you to minimize downtime and save significantly on costs and manpower.
Surveillance: With state-of-the-art real-time detection, identification and tracking of multiple objects and diverse object classes, VISIONAIRY®’s Surveillance module ensures excellent performance even under highly challenging conditions.
Detect & Avoid: Robust detect-and-avoid (DAA) capabilities are crucial for certified BVLOS flights and fully autonomous drone operations. VISIONAIRY® provides real-time geolocalization and tracking of air traffic at long ranges up to several kilometers and through 360 degrees.
VISIONAIRY also equips UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles) and self-driving cars with advanced autonomy and assistive functions, including:
Online Calibration & Sensor Fusion: VISIONAIRY® provides multi-sensor calibration of automotive cameras, radar and LiDAR scanners for sensor fusion systems, ensuring that accuracy is kept constant as factory calibrations drift. The advanced software can simultaneously detect errors and calculate the correct calibration factors in real time without the need for targets or hand-crafted features.
MonoDepth & Object Detection: The world’s first AI system for functional automotive safety, VISIONAIRY® MonoDepth & Object Detection supports a wide range of use cases including ADAS, parking, emergency braking, and highly automated driving. Providing true depth estimation from just a single sensor, it is compatible with all types of cameras including fisheye, pinhole, 360-degree, and infrared.
SLAM for Driving: The VISIONAIRY® SLAM for Driving module is specifically designed for automotive applications such as Level 2+ ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems), trained parking, and high levels of automated driving (L4+). The ASIL-ready software supports all automotive cameras and LiDAR scanners on the market.
