Skysys builds hardware and middleware that automate drone operations—autonomous takeoff/landing, flight dispatch, charging, and data collection—turning drone inspection into unattended, closed-loop systems. The tech stack (Linux, Java, C++, ROS, LiDAR, OpenCV, GPS) and active projects (image recognition, object detection, deep learning inference) reveal a computer-vision-heavy approach to autonomous flight. The organization is almost entirely engineering and interns, with minimal hiring velocity, suggesting a product-focused, early-stage team still developing core autonomous capabilities.
Skysys develops modular drone charging and dispatch infrastructure for industrial inspection and monitoring applications. The product family includes UltraHive (modular charging hubs compatible with multiple drone types), SkyScout (autonomous flight and mission scheduling), and SkyCab (open-architecture sensor payload module). Founded in 2017, the company operates R&D centers across Shanghai and Suzhou, with an on-site drone test facility. The platform targets enterprises requiring unattended, repeatable aerial surveys—reducing operational cost and expanding use cases beyond traditional drone operations.
The stack includes ROS (Robot Operating System), OpenCV (computer vision), LiDAR, GPS, and C++/Java for core systems. Current projects focus on image recognition algorithms, object detection/tracking, and deep learning inference platforms for autonomous flight.
Skysys is based in Shanghai, China, with R&D centers in Shanghai's Zhangjiang and Yangpu districts, plus a facility in Suzhou. The company operates an on-site drone testing facility in Shanghai.
