Vertex One
We have been developing drones ever since Avular was founded, pioneering in the world of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. With over a decade of experience, we have been deploying drones in a wide range of environments. From industrial chimneys to green houses and from construction yards to industrial plants.

Demo
Demo
Our drones are built for autonomous data gathering in all our focus domains. Autonomy comes out of the box, as well as various sensors needed for inspections. They are easily customizable and equipped with the Nvidia Jetson Orin NX as high-performance compute platform and Avular’s in-house developed real-time flight controller. The highly customizable platform allows for installing, connecting, and configuring sensors and payloads specific to your use case.
Academic &
Corporate Research
Researchers worldwide struggle with implementing their state-of-the-art research onto robots that are not built for it.
We have made it easy for researchers, teachers, and students to work with autonomous mobile robots through our platforms: the drone platform The Vertex One and the ground robot platform The Origin One.
Custom
Vertex
The Vertex One is the perfect drone to develop new aerial applications with. It enables you to customize the drone as you desire, thanks to the open and accessible way it is built. Tailor the drone platform as required or let us take care of this for you with our implementation services.
Indoor & Outdoor
Flying
The Vertex One drone platform can fly both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor applications, the drone uses GPS and is optionally equipped with our in-house developed RTK-GPS system.
Modular
Add functionalities to the drone platform, by integrating sensors and payloads you need for your specific application. The Vertex One is equipped with mounting holes and a range of user I/O and offers compatibility with the Avular Programming Interface (ROS2-Based) allowing for easy integration.
Long
Flight Time
Without
payload, The Vertex
One has a flight
time of 30+
minutes.
Make it
Fold
The Vertex One is easily foldable to create minimal space constraints.
Payload
Maximum standard payload weight of The Vertex One is enough for most common applications and payloads such as powerful imaging cameras, sensors, LiDARs and infra-red cameras.
GPS
Mission support
The Vertex One supports GPS-based waypoint missions in an easy-to-use manner. Missions can be constructed using waypoints in longitude, latitude, altitude, and heading. Waypoints can be preprogrammed or fed to the flight controller from the ROS environment running on the compute module.
Safe & Secure
Data
Our products are developed in The Netherlands and use a mostly European supply chain, allowing us to maintain a high level of safety and short communication lines for parts.
Security, from data acquisition to storage on your servers, is of paramount importance to us. We review our hardware and software solutions constantly to bring you the ease of mind and offer the highest level of security in the market.
Vertex
PowerPack
Our high-performance Vertex PowerPack includes a battery management system and allows for transport in aircraft hand-luggage so you can easily take it with you, wherever you go.
Wide range of
Connectivity
The Vertex One has 2 x USB 3.2 (USB-C 10 Gb/s), 1 x RJ45 Ethernet and W-Lan I/O.

Vertex One: Bringing possibilities
Bundels and auxiliaries for the Vertex One. Expand the possibilities with these enhancements for your application.
Stellar Auxiliary
The Stellar bundle includes an RTK-GNSS base station enabling below 10 cm GNSS accuracy. This enables high precision outdoor positioning on the Vertex for manual and autonomous flights. This bundle is perfect for surveying, aerial imagery, and research purposes.
Real Sense Auxiliary
This Vertex auxiliary enables forward facing depth sensing and video capturing. The Intel Real sense is a RGBD camera that combines a normal RGB camera with a stereovision and dot projector setup. This enables in-depth sensing in both high brightness environments and dark environments.
Vertex One
Customize it yourself
As our drone platform is built in an open and easy-to-customize way, it is easy to use the for your next Academic & Corporate Research project. The Vertex One allows for rapid integration of custom sensors and tools and has a powerful computing platform (NVIDIA Jetson Orin).
