Tilak.io

Tilak.io is an experienced developer of custom software for commercial and industrial drones, UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and unmanned systems. With almost a decade of experience in the drone industry, we support clients around the world with expert in-house drone software development, design, testing, and debugging of bespoke software solutions.

Our capabilities

We are highly experienced in both desktop and embedded software design and development, and are also experts in customizing leading open-source drone software such as PX4, QGroundControl, and ArduPilot.

Our expertise includes:

• Desktop and embedded Linux
• Python, C++, C# and QT
• Kalman Filter & EKF development
• Autonomy software
• Data science and analysis
• PX4 Customization (flight tasks, safety features, new sensors, etc)
• Offboard development (Python, pymavlink, Linux)

We speak “drone”. With technical backgrounds, we understand goals and the challenges associated with customer projects, and will assist to drive a project in the right direction to meet the requirements of both your business and the broader market.

We are a highly flexible team that can adapt to your specific workflows and project methodologies. We understand that communication is key, and keep you informed of all developments, no matter how big or small.

Embedded software development for drones and robotics

We can take your ideas and turn them into fully-realised professional products that drive mission-critical UAS applications.

Examples of what we can achieve with our drone software and embedded firmware development services include:

Custom UAS – we can create bespoke software for your custom UAS platform, including: STM32 firmware, tailored autopilot and flight controller solutions, sensor integrations, and post-processing. We can work with both open-source (PX4/ArduPilot) and proprietary software.

AI & Deep Learning – we can develop specialized artificial intelligence and deep learning models for UAS applications such as fault detection, object recognition, video tracking, obstacle avoidance, and vision-based flight control. Models can be deployed on platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson and Edge TPU.

DJI Drone Programming – using DJI’s software development kits such as OSDK and MSDK, we can create custom applications that integrate seamlessly with DJI drones, providing functions such as flight planning and payload data acquisition.

Custom Payload Integration – we can provide embedded software design solutions that allow you to easily interface with custom and third-party sensors that are incompatible with leading flight controllers. These include drivers, APIs for developers, and software that enables synchronization of telemetry with acquired data. We can seamlessly integrate with your software stack, for an industrial-grade user experience.

Our open-source drone software projects

We are highly committed to open-source drone software development philosophy, believing it to be a crucial part of advancing drone technology. Our open-source projects include:
