I’m building a decentralized Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) orchestration layer that treats aerial robotics as a simple API endpoint.

The system allows users to submit a JSON payload containing geocoordinates and mission requirements (e.g., capture_type: "4K_video" | "IR_photo"), the backend then handles the fleet logistics, selecting the optimal VTOL units from distributed sub-stations based on battery state-of-charge and proximity.

Been experimenting with AI -> MCP driven drone orchestration/flight would love to learn more about what your building and compare. Thoughts?

  • Unfortunately I do not plan/want to hand over control of the drone to an AI -> MCP as of know. Currently we plan to generate flight plans on a server and then each drone will request a flight plan and do its stuff.

Does anything similar like this already exist? Ie how do drone shows get planned today?

  • Drone shows are different as they mostly work with quacopters instead of long range vtols etc. There are softwares that help plan and fly quadcopters to get a drone show done.
