Overview
Reliable Robotics develops automation technology for aircraft, focusing on making flying safer, more accessible, and more affordable through autonomous operations. Their technology targets both cargo operators and passenger airlines, specifically for small (Part 23) and larger (Part 25) aircraft. The company emphasizes a "certification forward" approach, ensuring that their automated systems meet regulatory standards early in development, which enhances safety and reliability. They have successfully demonstrated fully automated operations for a Part 23 aircraft and are working on commercializing this technology for broader use. Reliable Robotics generates revenue by selling or licensing their systems to clients and may also provide maintenance and support services. Led by co-founder and CEO Robert W. Rose, who has a strong background in aerospace and robotics, the company aims to significantly impact the aviation industry by improving the efficiency and safety of air travel.
