Mobilicom and Palladyne AI Partner to Deliver Cybersecure Autonomy for Drones, Industrial Robots

Mobilicom Limited, a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, and Palladyne AI Corp., a developer of embodied neuro-symbolic artificial intelligence software for robotic platforms and unmanned systems in the defense and commercial sectors, announced they have entered a cooperation agreement.

This will offer to their respective customers the bundled solution of Palladyne AI’s Pilot autonomy software for uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) and Palladyne’s IQ autonomy software for industrial robots and cobots combined with Mobilicom’s OS3 (Operational Security, Safety, and Standards compliance) cybersecurity software.

“We’ve partnered with Palladyne AI to deliver a powerful software solution that is critical for mission success, whether that be on the battlefield or on the manufacturing line. A unified solution combining the strengths of our platforms will deliver unprecedented autonomous operations securely, protected from hostile threats, even in the most challenging tactical settings,” stated Mobilicom CEO and Founder Oren Elkayam. “We have already identified a number of our current customers who have expressed interest in putting the capabilities of the bundled product to work.”

“This collaboration agreement with Mobilicom’s OS3 cybersecurity allows both of our companies to offer a highly differentiated, best-in-class bundled secure solution for AI-driven autonomous hardware systems,” said Ben Wolff, CEO, Palladyne AI. “The combination of products provides enhanced performance and threat protection for both companies’ current and prospective customers.”

Palladyne Pilot scales the operational effectiveness of tactical UAV missions through enhanced human-machine synergy and by transforming UAVs into autonomous collaborative assets by enabling persistent detection, tracking, and classification of objects of interest by synthesizing multi-modal sensor fusion data in real-time. Palladyne™ IQ for industrial robotics uses AI and ML to provide human-like reasoning capabilities to perceive and adapt to changes in the real-world environment, making robots smarter and ready to handle jobs that have historically been too complex to automate.

Mobilicom’s OS3 provides groundbreaking cybersecurity for next-generation AI-driven drones through continuous monitoring, detection, alarm, and prevention of threats during the entire mission. Its multi-layered architecture implements advanced intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) that prevent tampering, data theft, and unauthorized access in real-time. Designed for complex operations, OS3 enables continuous resilience through proactive threat detection and automated response while ensuring regulatory compliance.
