Sky Tronic based in Wroclaw, Poland is “spin-off” company by Wroclaw University of Science and Technology. Sky Tronic designs fuzzy logic controller systems for novel autonomous steering and stabilizing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones in difficult weather and terrain conditions for application in life rescue and monitoring of construction objects. The fuzzy logic rules or artificial intelligence algorithms observe, steer the flying object more precisely to accommodate to unpredictable events and enable more safe and stable flight in strong wind or dropping the payload in real time.
