Reliable Robotics

Reliable Robotics is a California-based aerospace company developing continuous autopilot and remote piloting systems that retrofit existing fixed-wing aircraft for automated and remotely supervised flight across all phases (taxi, take-off, cruise, landing). The company has flown automated Cessna 208 Caravan demonstrations including a fully uncrewed take-off and landing in 2023, and is pursuing FAA Part 23 supplemental type certification for its automation system. Reliable Robotics has contracts with the U.S. Air Force AFWERX program and the Defense Innovation Unit to evaluate automated cargo and ISR missions on platforms including the Cessna 208, and has partnered with Textron Aviation on certification work. The company's founders are alumni of SpaceX and Tesla autopilot teams. Reliable Robotics is partner- and government-gated and does not currently offer public consumer or developer APIs.
