Skydio is an American drone company founded in 2014 in San Mateo, California, known for building the most advanced autonomous drones in the world with cutting-edge AI-powered obstacle avoidance and tracking capabilities. The company's drones use a system of cameras and proprietary AI software to navigate complex environments autonomously, making them capable of following subjects through dense forests, urban environments, and confined spaces without manual piloting input. Skydio has become a preferred drone supplier for US government agencies, military, and public safety organizations.
The Skydio store sells the Skydio X10, Skydio 2+, and related accessories including the Skydio Dock for autonomous remote operations. While originally targeting the enterprise and government sectors, Skydio's consumer-accessible models appeal to advanced hobbyists and content creators who value autonomous flight capabilities. The company's American design and manufacturing pedigree has also made it attractive to organizations seeking alternatives to Chinese-made drones.
