Drones that navigate by sight alone.
FromSky is a vision-only autonomous navigation SDK for commercial drones — perception, planning and obstacle avoidance from a single camera. No GPS. No IMU. No LiDAR.
FromSky in motion.
A short introduction to vision-only autonomous navigation — what FromSky is, and why it matters for the drones you already fly.
Overview · Ocean Code AI
Autonomy that doesn't depend on signals you might lose.
GPS drops indoors, under bridges, in urban canyons and in contested airspace. FromSky navigates from the camera feed itself — so it keeps working where signal-based systems stop.
Vision-only perception
Visual SLAM, monocular depth and optical flow fuse into a live estimate of where the drone is and what's around it — from one camera.
Plans and avoids in real time
An occupancy map drives global and local planning with active collision avoidance, producing velocity commands frame by frame.
Integrates in three lines
A clean Python SDK that outputs standard MAVLink velocity setpoints. Read the result, send it to your flight controller — done.
One camera frame in. A navigation command out.
Every frame runs the full perception-to-control loop. Each stage hands off to the next, and the system degrades gracefully when any single signal weakens.

Demonstrations show FromSky processing recorded footage and producing navigation outputs — perception and command generation visualised frame by frame. They are not closed-loop autonomous flights. Performance on target hardware is under active benchmarking.
Optimised for NVIDIA Jetson.
FromSky is designed to run on the Jetson companion computers commercial drone platforms already carry — putting the perception pipeline on the GPU where it belongs.
Edge-native
Runs onboard. No cloud round-trip, no dependency on a connection in the air.
Hardware-agnostic SDK
Camera and flight-controller abstraction layer adapts to your platform and your MAVLink stack.
Designed-in safety
Graceful degradation and active braking when perception confidence drops or an obstacle gets too close.
An honest roadmap.
FromSky is in active development. We're being open about exactly where the product is — and we're onboarding a small number of design partners before general availability.
Core SDK
Full vision-only pipeline built and integrated end to end.
CompleteValidation
Benchmarking on Jetson hardware against real flight footage.
In progressDesign partners
Hands-on integration with a small group of drone manufacturers.
Opening soonGeneral availability
Licensed SDK release for commercial integration.
