Asylon automates security operations using robots, software, and AI in order to help its customers protect their people, property, and assets. Asylon was founded in 2015 by three MIT aerospace engineers who have worked on a variety of projects in the aerospace industry from the V-22 Osprey to commercial jet engines to defense systems on Navy destroyers. With our team's strong background in aerospace, Asylon develops products consistent with the quality standards demanded by commercial and military customers.

Today, Asylon is a dynamic team that is passionate about robots and committed to building and operating safe, high quality products that solve the greatest challenges facing the robotics and security industries.

Asylon develops field deployable infrastructure for automated robots to augment the security teams of our clients. We believe that the true advantages of robotics and automation come when we can have robots and humans working hand-in-hand to increase security and help save lives. We see robots as a means to deliver actionable, timely, and persistent intelligence. Drone Core, our full stack aerial and ground robotics solution, is revolutionizing the way the security industry operates by providing capabilities to security teams that they have never had before.
