Problem
Autonomous drones, ground robots, and underwater platforms require compact, high‑performance navigation hardware that can operate reliably in vibration‑intense or GNSS‑limited environments. Traditional solutions are often bulky, lack redundant sensing, and need extensive wiring for sensor and I/O integration, increasing installation complexity and downtime in industrial settings.
Solution
Yaanendriya offers a family of compact navigation controllers—Syncore Nano and Syncore U1—that combine STM32‑class MCUs with dual redundant IMUs, barometers, and magnetometers to deliver real‑time sensor fusion and advanced control algorithms. The controllers support PX4, ArduPilot, and custom firmware, enabling rapid prototyping and deployment across drones, ground robots, swarm systems, and underwater vehicles. An industrial‑grade Wireless IO Module replaces wired thermocouple and digital I/O lines with secure Wi‑Fi transmission, allowing sensor data to be sent directly to PLCs and automation controllers. Together, these products provide size‑constrained, high‑precision state estimation and simplified wiring for both research and production environments.
Target Audience
Primary customers are developers and engineers building autonomous UAVs, UGVs, and underwater vehicles, as well as industrial automation teams seeking wireless sensor‑to‑PLC connectivity for manufacturing and process‑control systems.
Features
- Syncore Nano integrates dual IIM‑42652 IMUs, ICP‑20100 barometer, and BMM350 magnetometer for stable navigation in vibration‑heavy and GNSS‑challenged conditions
- Syncore U1 uses a 480 MHz STM32H743 MCU, dual BEC power rails, 8 DShot‑enabled PWM outputs, and high‑density I/O for demanding payloads and underwater applications
- Both controllers support UART, CAN, I²C, SPI, USB‑C, and are compatible with PX4, ArduPilot, or custom firmware stacks
- Redundant sensor architecture and proprietary YSS Fusion algorithm provide low‑noise, drift‑optimized orientation outputs
- Wireless IO Module with thermocouple emulation transmits sensor and 24 V digital I/O data over secure Wi‑Fi to PLCs, eliminating extensive field wiring
- Module includes sender/receiver units, regulated 24 V power output, and DIN‑rail/panel mounting for industrial automation integration
