About Us
Physical AI for Autonomous Field Operations
"We design and deploy the next generation of intelligent physical nodes — drones, smart stations, rovers, and field sensors — orchestrated by AI to monitor, protect, and manage critical infrastructure, industrial assets, and wide territories."
Who we are
NIDO Srl is an Italian deep-tech startup dedicated to autonomous systems for inspection, monitoring, and data-driven management of complex environments.
Our ecosystem integrates:
In-house hardware development (NIDO Box, NIDO H815 drone, NVIDIA Orin-based edge compute)
Cloud-native orchestration software for BVLOS operations, fleet management, and automation
Distributed AI for real-time analysis and autonomous decision-making in the field
Aviation-grade compliance with the latest EASA/ENAC frameworks (SORA 2.5, C2/C3 LTE/5G links, AI-safety integration)
NIDO exists to bring true autonomy to real-world industrial operations — far beyond laboratory demos or limited-scope pilots.
Our Vision
To build the world’s largest network of autonomous physical nodes orchestrated by AI. A distributed infrastructure of drones, boxes, rovers, and sensors capable of observing the physical world, understanding it through AI, and acting safely and efficiently. Creating the global “Physical AI Network” for tomorrow’s infrastructure.
Our Mission
Delivering field autonomy that is reliable, scalable, and seamlessly integrated into industrial processes. We achieve this through: hardware designed for continuous 24/7 operations, fully remote BVLOS missions, edge AI and cloud orchestration, open, modular architecture that integrates with enterprise IT/OT systems, and engineering practices built on aviation-grade safety.
Our Values
Operational Reliability
Every NIDO node is built for real conditions, with redundancy, self-diagnostics, and robust safety protocols.
Engineering Excellence
We design the core technology ourselves — from the propulsion system to the firmware, from AI modules to cloud orchestration.
Useful Autonomy
We build solutions that deliver immediate operational value, not just experimental prototypes.
Transparency & Compliance
Regulatory alignment and safety-by-design are foundations, not add-ons.
Scalability & Modularity
Each node works independently or as part of a distributed multi-agent network.
Ethics & Impact
We create technology that reduces human risk, optimizes resources, and strengthens infrastructure resilience.
