PITOM

PITOM is a young, dynamic and proactive company, focused on the design and realization of autopilots, Ground Control Stations and unmanned aerial, ground and marine vehicles. Founded in March 2011 by former researchers of the Dept. of Energy and Systems Engineering (DESE) at the University of Pisa, PITOM reflects the dream of its founders to transfer military unmanned vehicles technology to civilian applications. PITOM’s team has built its expertise through extensive experience in national and international projects matured as researchers within the DESE. Within a partnership between Ohio State University and DESE, part of PITOM's team has participated in the 2007 Darpa Urban Challenge (USA), leading the Situation Analysis Module for the robotized and fully autonomous OSU-ACT Toyota Highlander SUV. Within its own laboratories, PITOM’s team customizes and manufactures the family of piCore autopilots, piShip autonomous surface vessels, piCopter autonomous multirotors, piMegs Ground Control Stations and many other robots, software, electronics, and GNC systems for customers’ custom applications.
