Autonomous Aerial
RF Spatial Intelligence
Theonic Labs engineers autonomous aerial robotics for GPS-denied enterprise environments. Replacing hours of laborious manual Wi-Fi cart surveys with centimetre-accurate 3D autonomous drone sweeps.
The Paradigm Shift
Manual Wi-Fi Surveys Are Broken
Modern 200,000+ sq ft distribution centres and automated facilities take days of manual walking with heavy survey gear, yielding coarse, non-repeatable 2D data.
- ✕12-36 Hours per facility: Engineers walking 15+ kilometres pushing carts across active warehouse machinery.
- ✕Ground-level 2D blindness: APs mounted at 12m height measured only at 1m human torso elevation. Zero vertical gradient insight.
- ✕Human path error: Inconsistent walking speeds distort packet timestamps and interpolation accuracy.
- ✕High operational disruption: Requires shutting down warehouse aisles or scheduling expensive weekend shifts.
- ✓10x Faster Execution: Full facility sweeps completed autonomously in minutes at planned flight speeds.
- ✓True 3D RF Spatial Volumetrics: Measures multi-band RF at multi-tiered elevations (2m, 6m, 10m ceiling lines).
- ✓Sub-Millimeter VIO Repeatability: Waypoint missions repeated down to centimetre accuracy for change detection.
- ✓Zero Safety Hazard: Fly above automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and conveyor networks without halting floor operations.
The Needle Edge-AI Flight Copilot
Powered by the Qualcomm QRB5165 and ModalAI VOXL 2 system-on-module, Needle runs real-time visual-inertial odometry (qVIO), multi-camera feature tracking, and obstacle avoidance in completely GPS-denied indoor structures.
Sub-Millimeter VIO Localization
High-frame-rate monochrome stereo tracking with IMU fusion eliminates position drift without external beacons.
Tri-Band Spectrum Interception
Continuous active & passive packet capture across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E / Wi-Fi 7) via MT7921AU radio.
Modal Pipe Architecture (MPA) IPC
Zero-copy C-level inter-process communication feeds sensor data directly to onboard SQLite flight journals.
