Software that sees a mission through.

Zora is Bynn's mission executive and autonomy engine: it connects a mission objective with perception, decisions, planning and execution, starting with aerial missions.

How it works

From a mission objective to a mission carried through.

Mission Control defines the mission. DecisionNode supplies tactical decisions. Zora coordinates the mission and its execution, and does not hand control back when something goes wrong.

Zora

  1. Ask DecisionNode

    Where is the target, is the path clear, how risky is the next move.

  2. Plan and check

    The autonomy engine plans the motion and checks every move.

  3. Recover

    Low confidence or a lost target triggers recovery: hold and observe again, back off, climb, search wider, approach from another side, plan again.

How Zora is built

  • Mission Control

    Where an operator composes a mission as a workflow and observes it as it runs.

  • Mission executive

    Coordinates the phases of a mission, from take-off to landing, and decides how to recover when a phase fails.

  • Autonomy engine

    Turns the mission and what the vehicle sees into action: it tracks the target, plans the motion, checks every move and manages execution.

  • Zora Air

    Autonomous aerial missions, demonstrated in simulation with take-off, obstacle traversal and landing.

  • Zora Ground

    Coming soon

    The same engine for ground vehicles.

  • Zora Robotics

    Coming soon

    The same engine for robotic systems.

Simulation

Simulation

Zora Air flies autonomous missions in simulation.

Missions are composed in Mission Control and, once started, flown by the autonomy engine without handing control back: take-off, observation, obstacle traversal and landing. DecisionNode answers the tactical questions about each camera frame; Zora plans the motion, checks every move and recovers from setbacks.

  • Simulation only. Physical vehicles and onboard computers are not yet implemented.
  • Zora is an experimental research platform, not a product on sale.

How Zora connects

  • DecisionNode decides, Zora executes

    Tactical questions about each camera frame go to DecisionNode: where is the target, is the path clear, how risky is the next move. Its answers steer the mission. They never command the motors directly; Zora's local engine does that.

  • Part of Bynn's research

    Zora carries Bynn's mission, advancing autonomous intelligence for the benefit of humanity, into the physical world. Its progress is reported on the research page.
