Product Description
The ARMUS a cost-effective, AI-powered drone for tactical, inspection, and research use cases .
To ensure users are fully equipped for advanced operations, the RMUS Hub™ provides immersive virtual training, helping operators develop essential skills and mission confidence. For ongoing support and collaboration, the RMUS Zone™ serves as a vibrant community where users can share experiences, explore use-case scenarios, and access technical assistance, all in one place.
Concept & Purpose
• Designed for tactical teams, inspectors, researchers, and industrial users.
• Core idea - a durable, compact indoor drone that can run AI object detection models directly on the remote controller, without cloud dependency.
• The remote contains a high-end processor, enabling real-time AI tasks.
• Built for indoor environments where GPS isn’t available.
Design & Manufacturing
• Developed through multiple prototype iterations to ensure durability and scalability.
• Utilizes advanced 3D printing (MJF and SLS) for quick customization and precision.
• Key physical features:
• Shock-absorbent, replaceable ducts that protect the propellers.
• Interchangeable batteries inserted from the rear.
• Lightweight, impact-resistant frame.
• Manufactured modularly - in the U.S., Canada, and Poland.
The Remote Controller
• Functions as the AI processing unit — the “brains” of the system.
• Large, bright built-in display for telemetry, live video, and data.
• HDMI and Ethernet output for live streaming.
• Customizable buttons, triggers, and scroll wheels for camera and gimbal control.
• Designed for ease of use and long lifespan, even if drones are replaced frequently.
RMUS Go-To AI Technology
ARMUS runs on RMUS’s proprietary AI platform integrating:
• Custom IO and radio boards.
• In-house processing systems.
• Proprietary flight control software.
• Supports open-source AI models for custom object detection and autonomy development.
• RMUS plans to collaborate with universities and developers to expand AI model offerings.
Key Features
• AI Object Detection: Models can be loaded directly onto the remote for real-time recognition.
• Low-Light 8MP Camera: Adjustable ISO, forward LEDs, and downward light for optical flow stabilization.
• Durability: Can withstand collisions; ducts prevent damage.
• Flight Time: ~10 minutes per battery (typical for tactical indoor missions).
• Live Video: Stream via HDMI, DroneSense, or proprietary “Core” software.
• Autonomy-Ready: Built for future AI-based task automation.
• Replaceable Components: Modular design allows field repairs and swaps.
• Optical Flow & Proximity Sensors: Stabilize flight indoors.
• Turtle Mode: Can self-right after a crash.
• No Subscription Model: Full access for users; open platform for tinkering.
• Charging while in use: The remote can charge while active.
• Multi-battery charger: Single charger now, multi-charger coming by January.
• Handling wind/drafts: Stable indoors; limited outdoor capability.
• Autonomy: Basic, but expanding with new AI models.
• Lighting: Optional IR LEDs for stealth operations.
• Quick setup: Insert battery, arm the drone, take off.
• Stabilization: Smooth flight and gimbal stabilization.
• Live stream: through dual antenna setup (controller + laptop).
• Video transmission: emphasizes secure, encrypted video transmission.
• Broadcasting: Confirms multi-device broadcast capability (multiple monitors simultaneously).
