Fly, drive, and coordinate a whole fleet
Autonomous robotics & drone swarm orchestration
Formant plans missions across drones and ground robots, streams live telemetry, and keeps decision-making on-device - so operations continue even when the network does not.

Why Formant
An AI-native autonomous systems platform for orchestrating drones, robots, and multi-agent swarms. It combines real-time control, mission automation, and AI-driven decision-making to enable large-scale autonomous operations in dynamic environments.
Fleet scale
One mission definition spreads across every available drone and ground robot, with hand-off handled when a unit returns to charge.
Edge autonomy
Perception and planning run on-device, so a network drop pauses your dashboard rather than the mission.
Accountability
Live telemetry, manual takeover, and full mission replay mean every autonomous decision can be reviewed after the fact.
How Formant empowers your team
6 capabilities, and what each one actually does once real traffic is flowing through it. Pick one to see it in the interface.
Swarm coordination
Units share one map and split coverage, rebalancing when one returns to charge.
Live telemetry
Position, battery, payload, and video streamed to the operator console in real time.
Edge autonomy
SLAM, obstacle avoidance, and detection run on-board, with no GPS or cloud dependency.
Geofences and failsafes
Hard boundaries, return-to-home, and altitude limits enforced by the flight stack.
Mission replay
Replay any sortie with the full sensor record and every decision the unit made.
Operator handover
Take manual control of any unit mid-mission, then hand it back to autonomy.
Teams already running Formant
What changed for them after the switch - in their words, not ours.
We went from one pilot per drone to one operator watching six. The hand-off logic is what made that possible.
Token-level observability changed how we ship. We catch regressions before they hit prod.
We A/B tested 6 models in production with one config change. Took us a Friday afternoon.
Walkthrough
See your workflow running in Formant
The console shows every unit on a shared map with exceptions surfaced first, so an operator supervises instead of piloting.

Questions, answered
Still unsure whether Formant fits your stack? Talk to an engineer - no sales script.
Contact engineeringWhich hardware is supported?
Any unit running PX4, ArduPilot, or ROS 2 can pair through the edge agent, including most Jetson- and Qualcomm-based platforms.
Does it need constant connectivity?
No. Missions run fully on-device. Telemetry buffers locally and syncs when the link returns.
Can operators take manual control?
Yes. Any unit can be switched to teleop mid-mission and handed back to autonomy without restarting the mission.
Where is flight data stored?
In your own bucket by default, through Storage Gateway if you use it. Retention is yours to set.
