NIDO.AI unites drones, robotics, and AI into one autonomous network — transforming physical systems into real-time decision-makers for any mission, anywhere
NIDO.AI Roadmap
2021
TRL7 Prototype
Development and testing of the first autonomous NIDO prototype completed on behalf of CAV S.p.A.
Full IP rights secured, enabling the evolution toward the integrated NIDO.AI
2022
Industrialization Starts
Transition from prototype to industrial-grade platform.
Hardware re-engineering and avionics redesign to ensure EASA-compliant architecture supporting edge-AI integration.
2023
Software Platform Design & First Round Fundrasing
- Leveraging extensive VR/AR expertise, the decision was made to build NIDO.AI entirely in-house — a MR orchestration platform connecting human operators with AI agents through immersive, real-time control interfaces
- Seed fundraising launched to support pre-production and cloud infrastructure of NIDO.AI. Funds used for validation pilots and integration of the NIDO Core (NVIDIA Orin NX + sensors) across UAV and docking units. (SCP spa)
2024
Pre-Production & PoC Phase
- Through PoCs pre-serie unit are deployed for field testing — a crucial step to validate the NIDO.AI software, refine its edge-to-cloud orchestration, and implement necessary optimizations before full-scale production.
- Partnership activated (Mare Group spa)
2025
Production & Fundrasing
- Start of certified production and CE/DVR procedures
- Seraching funds to start industrial production
2026
National & EU market Launch
- Commercial expansion in Italy and EU
- Target market penetration: 20-30%
2027
EU Consolidation & Strategic Expansion
- Consolidation of NIDO’s presence across EU markets with operational networks established.
- Entry into security and military-grade applications and first partnerships in extra-EU markets
NIDO.AI is a distributed Physical AI network where drones, stations, and robotic nodes operate as intelligent agents.
It connects sky, ground, and cloud into one autonomous system capable of continuous, compliant, and data-driven operations — from infrastructure monitoring to security, logistics, and emergency support.
Unlike conventional drone setups that rely on pilots and manual operations, NIDO.AI units are fully autonomous.
Each node manages itself — launching, landing, recharging, and sharing data in real time through secure multi-link connectivity (5G, LTE, Satellite).
This turns isolated drones into part of a scalable AI-driven infrastructure.
NIDO.AI adapts to a wide range of civil and security applications: smart-road inspection, border surveillance, disaster response, precision agriculture, and energy asset monitoring.
Its modular design allows users to integrate additional nodes or sensors, creating mission-specific networks that can operate continuously.
The system combines certified aviation-grade hardware with autonomous safety layers — including a redundant FTS, AI-based obstacle avoidance, and blockchain-certified traceability.
Each operation is optimized by the NIDO Core (NVIDIA Orin NX), ensuring predictive maintenance, lower OPEX, and human oversight through the XR control platform.
