Auterion

Auterion builds the software-defined operating system for autonomous drones and robots. Its open, vendor-independent stack — AuterionOS and the Skynode / Skynode X flight-compute modules — runs across drones from many manufacturers, while Auterion Suite provides cloud fleet management, flight data, and compliance, and Auterion Mission Control is the ground-control planning and flight application. Developers extend vehicles with the on-device Auterion SDK, a C++ app framework built on PX4, MAVLink, and ROS 2. Auterion does not publish a public REST/OpenAPI web API; its developer surface is the on-device SDK plus a set of first-party open-source MAVLink and PX4 libraries on GitHub. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and Costanoa Ventures.

Auterion is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Ai Ml, Drones, UAV, and Robotics.

Auterion’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, engineering blog, support, signup flow, changelog, and 11 more developer resources.
