About Airtonomy
Airtonomy was founded by Joshua Riedy, Traviss Desell, and Jim Higgins. Airtonomy was founded and is headquartered in North Dakota and focuses on “leveraging innovative technology, advanced computing, and data management.” Airtonomy has a fearless goal of being the first company the Federal Aviation Administration to approve the flying of drones autonomously right here in North Dakota. Joshua explains, “Airtonomy is building a reusable platform for sensor data, aerial imagery in particular. Our vision is a comprehensive solution for generalists that offers time, cost, and accuracy advantages over existing options. Ultimately, Airtonomy seeks to be allowed to operate autonomous systems remotely.” Airtionomy helps those who need to use drones, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision as a tool. Joshua says, “they can significantly increase actionable intelligence while improving safety amongst many other aspects.” Airtonomy’s concept was created from the first key grant awarded by the National Science Foundation’s Midwest Big Data Hub in 2016. Since then, it has become a passion, “taking a theoretical concept to commercialization.” Even though being a company from North Dakota that relies on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision is a distinctive challenge, playing a role in a collaborative community to make history by doing what nobody else has done before is worth it to Joshua.
