Drones & Mobility

Autonomy for air, ground and logistics.

BELTH develops AI and control software for autonomous systems in the air and on the ground — perception, navigation, planning and coordination in real operational environments.

Autonomous systems

Software intelligence for autonomous platforms

BELTH develops modular software for systems that must perceive, localise, plan, navigate, decide and cooperate safely with other vehicles, infrastructure and operators.

Development directions

Four directions we are building in

Each has its own operational context and its own pace.

  • Passenger aerial mobility platform on a rooftop landing pad above a city skyline
    01Target capability

    Aero and personal aerial mobility

    Research and software development for future aerial mobility: autonomous flight logic, intelligent route planning and safe decision-making in the air.

  • Heavy-lift cargo drone carrying a freight container over an industrial logistics yard
    02Under development

    Cargo drones

    Short, recurring freight movements across industrial sites: mission planning, automated routing and coordination with ground processes.

  • Container terminal with a gantry crane, stacked containers and autonomous container carriers
    03Under development

    Port and container logistics

    Autonomous yard operations: container movements, inspection, terminal logistics and coordination between autonomous assets.

  • Autonomous ground transport platform carrying cargo modules at an industrial terminal
    04Concept application

    Autonomous transport

    Autonomous industrial vehicles for internal transport, inspection, monitoring and logistics movements in controlled environments.

Autonomy stack

One software layer across autonomous systems

BELTH develops modular software components that can be adapted to different hardware platforms and operational environments. We work with simulation and control software such as PX4 and Gazebo before anything runs on hardware.

R&D and validation

From simulation to autonomous operation

We work simulation-first. Behaviour, mission logic and navigation are developed virtually and only then integrated and validated on partner hardware platforms.

  1. 01

    Software architecture

    Modular structure, from sensing through to safety layers.

  2. 02

    Simulation

    Behaviour and scenarios developed and tested virtually.

  3. 03

    Mission logic

    From a task to an executable, verifiable flight or route plan.

  4. 04

    Navigation and perception

    Perception, localisation and path planning refined on realistic scenarios.

  5. 05

    Hardware integration

    Our stack running on a partner’s platform.

  6. 06

    Validation

    Controlled tests in a real environment, under human supervision.

Collaboration

Built to integrate with real hardware.

BELTH brings the autonomy software. For the platform, the site and the operational context we work with manufacturers, ports and logistics partners.
