With the rapid growth of urban population, the demand for various industries in the city has increased exponentially, and traditional lifestyles are no longer able to fully meet the high-quality living needs of the people. The transformation from the ground to the air, from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional three-dimensional dimension, and one of the typical representative fields for the integration and development of future technology and modern industry, "Urban Air Mobility" (UAM), are highly anticipated. Various advanced aircraft, from drones to e-VTOL, will increasingly fill the airspace of cities, and the core key element of these aircraft is the intelligent, automated, and three-dimensional technological transformation centered on "safety". 


Antwork has developed a new generation of urban air traffic operating system based on its own unmanned aerial vehicle operation in urban scenes of 300000 kilometers, and named it uamOS. uamOS System, as the core product of Antwork Technology, helped Antwork become the first drone delivery company to pass the Civil Aviation Administration's Specific Operational Risk Assessment (SORA) in 2019. The uamOS system also belongs to the AL-4 level automatic flight system specified in the "Classification of Distributed Operation Levels for Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems". By providing an open architecture terminal and cloud system, it can not only help unmanned aerial vehicles meet strict urban environmental safety requirements, but also upgrade various flight platforms to highly reliable automated flight platforms.


The uamOS system has three major characteristics: "efficiency improvement", "safety", and "intelligence".


Efficiency improvement: The uamOS system can achieve rapid and intelligent integration of underlying flight platforms and mission payloads. It has rich terminal and cloud system SDK interfaces, and can quickly customize terminal and cloud data applications according to user needs. It can also provide SaaS based services based on the existing cloud platforms of Antwork.


Security: The system is embedded with powerful module redundancy, visual navigation, security strategies, and other algorithms; Support the use of fully redundant communication, sensor, and power supply modules to improve basic flight safety capabilities; In extreme flight environments such as power failure and satellite rejection, the safe flight of unmanned aerial vehicles can also be ensured through power matrix reassignment, visual navigation, and the addition of parachutes.

Intelligence: The system can interpret and make decisions on real-time external environmental information of all unmanned aerial vehicles through algorithm matching, achieving unmanned autonomous driving; And it can continuously feedback the accumulated data of the operation to train the model, continuously improve the algorithm, and make system decisions more and more "smart".



According to practical experience, the uamOS system can be widely used in automated routine inspection scenarios, such as power inspection, urban comprehensive management, river inspection, etc. Equipped with equipment through the external interface of the uamOS terminal system, it can also achieve functions such as infrared night vision, remote calling, and multispectral data collection. In daily applications, users can develop cloud application platforms targeting specific industries through SDK interfaces on the uamOS cloud system, thereby achieving functions such as route planning for unmanned aerial vehicles, remote sending of task instructions, and 5G image data transmission. The algorithm for collaborative scheduling of multiple drones in the uamOS system can achieve autonomous takeoff and landing flight and collaborative operation of multiple drones through cloud platforms, enabling fully automated inspection for large-scale applications, greatly improving inspection efficiency, and unleashing strong vertical industry productivity.


As a mature unmanned aerial vehicle operating system, uamOS System relies on rich terminal and cloud interfaces, as well as diverse security logic, committed to creating a safe ecological solution for low altitude aircraft. We will utilize our technological advantages in high reliability, intelligence, automation, and other aspects to open up to more partners in the urban air traffic industry in the form of terminal systems and cloud systems. We will bring safer and more stable unmanned aerial vehicle operation solutions to our peers, and help the application and development of urban air traffic enter the fast lane.
