About
Spleenlab is an AI software company specializing in autonomous perception and navigation for robotic systems across air, ground, and sea domains. At the core of their offering is the VISIONAIRY® product suite—a comprehensive collection of AI modules covering object detection and tracking (EO/IR), multi-sensor fusion and calibration, freespace and occupancy grid mapping, GPS-denied localization via Visual Inertial Odometry and LiDAR SLAM, precision landing, terrain-following, and detect-and-avoid capabilities. Designed for deployment in safety-critical and regulated markets—defense, aerospace/aviation, automotive ADAS, cargo and logistics, agriculture, and mining—Spleenlab's software is engineered to run in real time on edge hardware across all robot types and sensor modalities. The SPLEENLAB® Suite additionally provides video stabilization, an embedded OS, an AI runtime, and simulation tooling to support the full development lifecycle. Spleenlab's customers span major defense primes such as Rheinmetall, semiconductor companies like Elmos, commercial drone operators like Droneup, and agricultural OEMs like Krone and Lemken. The company offers pre-built AI agents for drone, ground, and combined missions, reducing integration time for autonomous system developers. With a focus on certifiability and scalability, Spleenlab positions itself as the perception intelligence layer for the next generation of autonomous machines.

- Automated Sensor Calibration: Auto intrinsic, extrinsic, and multi-modal sensor calibration tools reduce setup time and ensure accurate perception pipelines across heterogeneous sensor arrays.
- Real-Time Edge AI Runtime: The SPLEENLAB® AI Runtime and OS enable all perception modules to execute in real time on embedded edge hardware across diverse chips and sensor configurations.
- Autonomous AI Agents: Pre-built Drone Agent and Ground Agent modules deliver end-to-end autonomy behaviors including follow-me guidance, precision landing, terrain-following, and collision avoidance.
Use Cases
- Autonomous drone navigation and precision landing in GPS-denied or contested environments for defense and commercial applications
- Collision avoidance and freespace detection for autonomous ground vehicles, trucks, and mobile robots in logistics and mining
- Surveillance, ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance), and detect-and-avoid systems for military and security UAV fleets
- ADAS and autonomous driving perception stacks requiring certifiable multi-sensor fusion and object detection for automotive OEMs
- Agricultural automation including obstacle detection and terrain-following for unmanned ground and aerial vehicles in field operations
Pros
- Certified for Regulated Industries: Software is designed with certifiability in mind for defense, aerospace, and automotive markets where functional safety and regulatory compliance are mandatory.
- Broad Robot & Sensor Compatibility: Supports all robot types (drones, ground, marine, humanoid, trucks) and all sensor modalities, making it highly versatile for diverse autonomous system programs.
- Proven Enterprise Customer Base: Deployed by major industry players including Rheinmetall, Quantum Systems, and Droneup, validating reliability in production and mission-critical environments.
- Full-Stack Autonomy Platform: From low-level sensor calibration to high-level agent behaviors, Spleenlab covers the entire perception and navigation stack, reducing vendor fragmentation.
Cons
- Enterprise-Only Access: No self-serve sign-up, free trial, or public pricing is available—the product requires direct sales engagement, limiting accessibility for smaller teams or researchers.
- Highly Specialized Domain: Purpose-built for autonomous systems in regulated industries; not applicable to general-purpose AI, software development, or consumer use cases.
- Integration Complexity: Deploying perception software on custom robotic hardware and sensor configurations typically requires significant engineering expertise and project-specific customization.
