Flyby Robotics

Flyby Robotics is an American manufacturer of open-architecture, NDAA-compliant medium-lift drones built as a platform for physical and edge AI. Its F-11 series (F-11T, F-11S, F-11H) pairs onboard NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX GPU compute (up to 314 TOPS) and an open ArduPilot/CubePilot flight controller with a developer-facing C++ SDK, so engineers can register custom payloads, stream video over GStreamer, and programmatically control the aircraft. The company ships the Flyby SDK (flyby-sdk-release) through GitHub and documents it at docs.flybydev.com, targeting ISR, photogrammetry, public-safety, research, and drone-delivery use cases. Flyby Robotics raised a $4M pre-seed backed by investors including MaC Venture Capital, Gaingels, and Anthemis Group. This profile captures Flyby's developer surface as it exists today: an on-board SDK and docs rather than a hosted REST API.

Flyby Robotics is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Drones, Robotics, Physical AI, and Edge AI.

Flyby Robotics’ developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, changelog, and 9 more developer resources.
