Autonomy, above all.

Autmos designs and validates autonomous systems — spanning aerial robotics, perception, control, and learning-enabled architectures — with an emphasis on engineering realism, safety, and reliable operation under real-world constraints.

What We Do

Technical Capabilities

Aerial Autonomy & Drones

Full-stack autonomy for UAV systems operating in constrained, GPS-denied, or adversarial environments — from guidance and control to mission-level decision-making.

Perception & State Estimation

Sensor fusion, mapping, and representation learning for reliable navigation and situational awareness under degraded or denied sensing conditions.

Control & Guidance

Physics-aware control design, collision avoidance, and guidance architectures developed with rigorous attention to closed-loop stability and failure modes.

Learning-Enabled Systems

Integration of AI and machine learning components within safety-critical pipelines, maintaining interpretability and compatibility with real-world operational demands.

Simulation & Validation

Full-stack validation workflows bridging software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop testing through to field experimentation and prototype deployment.

Hardware–Software Co-Design

Embedded system design, rapid prototyping, and hardware integration — with consistent attention to runtime, power, and sensing constraints.

How We Work

Engineering Approach

Work begins by clarifying the structural properties of the problem — system dynamics, uncertainty sources, observability limits, and computational constraints — before any algorithm or model class is chosen. Solutions evolve through iterative refinement across simulation, hardware, and field validation.

The emphasis throughout is on coherent system architecture rather than isolated component performance. Perception, inference, control, and dynamics are designed to interact reliably — not optimised in isolation.

System-Level Reasoning

Dominant constraints and failure modes are identified first. Components are designed in the context of the full closed-loop system, not in isolation.

Physics + Data, Combined

Physics-based priors are balanced with data-driven methods where appropriate. Neither is applied dogmatically.

Simulation-to-Field Discipline

Validation pipelines are structured to surface discrepancies early — before they propagate to hardware and field trials.

Engineering Realism

Solutions are developed under real hardware, sensing, and runtime constraints from the outset — not retrofitted to them at the end.

About

Dr. Reza Faieghi
Founder & Principal, Autmos

Autmos is an independent practice in autonomy, robotics, and AI systems engineering — built at the intersection of aerial systems and the broader challenge of making autonomous intelligence reliable in the physical world.

The work spans control systems, estimation, perception, simulation, and learning-enabled design, with a consistent focus on bridging theoretical models and real-world deployment constraints. Engagements range from early-stage architecture definition through to full prototype development and field validation.
