About
What is ResCon Technologies?
ResCon Technologies, LLC is a veteran-owned small business based in Columbus, Ohio specializing in hardware, firmware, and software for deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) on unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Our patent-pending UAS autopilot platform combines advanced ML and physical unclonable function (PUF) technologies in a single package that can operate on low-power commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) processors. ResCon's solutions will fundamentally change the landscape of basic controllers, bringing AI/ML augmentation and high-level encryption to a new range of devices.
Background
AI/ML is everywhere these days, having experienced a boom in recent years. Why? Hardware is finally catching up with the last two decades' advancements in algorithms. Deep neural networks can now be trained on more ubiquitous devices than the supercomputers only available to research universities. But AI/ML processes still need to be trained on large tailored data sets and must run on power-hungry hardware to implement their advances.
Breakthrough
ResCon has a different approach: Create AI/ML algorithms that can operate on existing edge devices. While others are struggling to pack high-power computers onto airframes to manage flight routes, fuse sensor data, and identify targets, ResCon is implementing ML on COTS small UAS hardware. AI/ML-augmented low-level flight control means safer operations, optimized efficiency, unparalleled agility, and automatic compensation for wear and damage that would otherwise cause legacy controllers to crash. Smart flight control means survivability.
Less data, less power, same Machine Learning
What if you could train your autopilot literally "on the fly?" What if you could accumulate sufficient data to field-retrain your ML-augmented tasks in real time, without the need of large, expensive data sets? ResCon's patent-pending advances can do just that. Combined with built-in, state-of-the-art encryption, ResCon enables UAS operations that are safer, smarter, and more secure.
