Medical air ambulance
GPS spoofing, a bird strike or an airspace conflict while carrying organs, blood or plasma means the patient does not receive it. BabAI makes sure the platform arrives.
Onboard autonomy · Field-proven
Every autonomous machine comes home
BabAI is onboard software that protects the platform, whether a drone, a robot or an autonomous vessel, when sensors degrade, GPS is lost and danger appears. AI-based computer vision and multi-sensor fusion detect the threat, predict the collision and steer clear in milliseconds. No pilot, no data link.
01 — The problem
When sensors fail, autonomous machines fail
Smoke, dust, radiation, electromagnetic interference and lost GPS degrade sensors one by one. Conventional collision avoidance assumes healthy sensors. When they go, the platform is on its own, and a single failure can end the mission or destroy the asset.
BabAI is built for exactly these degraded-sensor environments: nuclear facilities, mines, wildfires, disaster medicine. It runs next to the platform's flight or drive stack, not instead of it, and takes over perception when sensors drop out one after another.
For the platform
You do not think about threats. We do. You complete the mission.
For the fleet owner
Your assets come back. Mission data is certified. Insurance is cheaper. The regulator is satisfied.
For everyone else
Every autonomous platform with BabAI is safer by design. Not because it is smarter, but because it is protected.
How it works
Three moves, faster than the danger
01
Sees
Camera-based computer vision and multi-sensor fusion. When one sensor degrades, the next takes over, with no gap in perception.
02
Predicts
AI models anticipate the trajectory of obstacles, aircraft and debris before they close in.
03
Evades
Issues an evasion command in under 53 ms. The platform keeps its mission and comes back.
Our mission
We are the safety belt of autonomous machines. Whatever the environment, the platform comes back.
Field-proven
Tested in GPS-denied, electronic-warfare-saturated environments.

In the field
Missions
One protection layer, every environment
Where the environment degrades sensors, BabAI keeps the platform alive. The strongest fits are marked; the rest are applications where the value is real but narrower.
Disaster medicine
Flood zones, earthquake debris, chemical perimeters. GPS is gone and smoke degrades sensors. Graceful sensor handoff keeps the platform flying as sensors fail one by one.
Wildfire and emergency response
Smoke blinds optical sensors, thermal updrafts destabilise the aircraft and rescue helicopters share the airspace. BabAI switches to thermal and inertial inputs automatically.
Search and rescue
Mountain terrain, collapsed structures, no GPS. A crashed SAR drone means a person is not found. BabAI prevents the crash with no network or satellite required.
Anti-poaching and nature surveillance
The platform can be jammed or intercepted. BabAI detects the attack, reroutes and seals all collected evidence in an encrypted, timestamped package.
Also applicable
Storm meteorology
Critical infrastructure inspection
Stratospheric platforms (HAPS)
Microsatellite health monitoring and debris awareness
Radiation degrades onboard sensors over months, and trusted onboard data is essential for debris conjunction analysis. BabAI health monitoring applies today; full orbital evasion is on our roadmap.
Nuclear facility inspection
Radiation degrades every sensor faster than any other environment. Conventional collision avoidance struggles here; BabAI is built for it, in Fukushima- and Chernobyl-type scenarios.
Mine and tunnel inspection
Robots and drones with no GPS, gas and dust blinding optical sensors, and passages only two to three metres wide. A lost inspection platform in a mine is a total loss. This is the most extreme degraded-sensor environment there is.
Also applicable
CBRN robots
Railway infrastructure inspection
Autonomous passenger ferries
Passengers aboard means the highest safety obligation. Autonomous ferries already operate in Norway and Finland. BabAI is the protection layer regulators are moving to require.
Port operations and autonomous tugboats
Dense interference from port radar, moving vessels and cranes, and GPS multipath from metal structures. BabAI keeps the platform's integrity where no single sensor can be trusted alone.
Also applicable
Maritime search and rescue
Subsea cable and pipeline inspection
Vehicles work with no GPS, far from recovery. Onboard health monitoring is the only protection when the platform is entirely on its own.
Offshore wind foundation inspection
Cables, anodes and marine growth make a complex obstacle field. BabAI prevents the entanglement or collision that ends an expensive offshore mission.
Nuclear plant cooling-water ROVs
Radiation in water degrades sensors faster than in air. BabAI is designed for accelerated sensor degradation.
Partners and ecosystem
Partnerships that make the impossible possible
We work across the whole ecosystem, because a strong network builds what no single player can build alone.
Drone and robot manufacturers (OEM)
Platforms for civilian missions that need a certified, hardware-agnostic protection module. We integrate through an SDK, with no hardware replacement.
Mission operators
Fleets in medical logistics, emergency response and environmental surveillance, where losing the platform has real human consequences.
Universities and R&D
Joint research, grants and consortia, including programmes for the safety of autonomous systems and dual-use technology.
Clusters and associations
Autonomous-systems and drone industry networks.
Distributors and integrators
Resellers and system integrators who extend our reach to new markets.
Equipment suppliers
Cameras and compute for the onboard stack.
Space agencies and operators
Onboard autonomy for satellites (roadmap).
Investors and accelerators
Capital, network and validation.
Who we are
Founded in 2024. 20+ engineers across Ukraine and the EU.
ML, computer-vision and embedded engineers building the protection layer for autonomous platforms.

Founder
Ownership of the result
We see it through, and we look after the people next to us. Real results are built in a team where everyone is heard.
Autonomy
Initiative is the standard. See a problem, solve it.
Systems thinking
We solve the problem, not its symptoms: find the root cause, break the complex into the simple, act.
Drive to grow
Technology moves fast, and so do we. New tools and approaches are our environment, not a challenge.
Team
We speak directly, hear one another and move in one direction.
