Partnership with ITGLOBAL.COM DMCC
We, ITGLOBAL.COM DMCC, are the official distributor of the Wheelies platform for autonomous control of unmanned and robotic systems. The solution has already proven its relevance in the Eurasian region, and we are confident that it will become equally relevant for the Middle East and North Africa.
There is still a gap in the industry between hardware and software solutions: some companies create reliable drones but equip them with limited software, while others produce platforms that are incompatible with third-party equipment. Wheelies eliminates this barrier and unites different types of devices into a single ecosystem.
In this article, we will tell you more about Wheelies.
The creation of Wheelies
The idea of creating the Wheelies platform emerged as a response to the market’s need for a universal control system. The goal of the developers was to unite air, land, surface and underwater vehicles into a single environment capable of operating autonomously and without being tied to a specific manufacturer.
At the same time, Wheelies solves another key problem: many companies have a fleet of drones and robots from different manufacturers, each with its own control system. This results in a “zoo” of solutions that complicate operation, employee training, and integration into business processes. Wheelies eliminates this fragmentation by offering a single control center for the entire fleet.
The foundation of Wheelies’ versatility
Wheelies consists of two key elements:
- AI Captain is an operating system for onboard computers (such as Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Jetson). It manages flight, navigation, object recognition, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous mission execution, even in the absence of GPS and communication.
- Command Center is a cloud-based command center for managing a fleet of drones and robots. It allows you to plan missions, adjust routes in real time, and analyze telemetry and video streams.
Thanks to its open approach to compatibility, Wheelies can be connected to a wide range of systems, from quadcopters and VTOL drones to warehouse trolleys and unmanned boats. This makes the platform versatile and independent of specific manufacturers.
Advantages of Wheelies
For drone manufacturers
- Compatible with most on-board computers and flight controllers.
- No need to develop your own autonomy software — Wheelies provides it.
- Accelerating product launch to the market due to a ready-made operating system for autonomous control.
- Ability to integrate any mission scenarios and neural network models to meet customer requirements.
For business
- Fleet management of drones and robots of various types from a single interface.
- Autonomous execution of missions even without GPS and communication.
- Centralized data storage for subsequent analysis and optimization of processes.
- Integration with corporate IT systems via API (ERP, CRM, GIS).
- Reduced implementation and maintenance costs due to the solution’s versatility.
Wheelies and traditional solutions
Most existing solutions are limited to a closed system, which increases the cost of implementation and makes the customer dependent on a specific manufacturer. Unlike other platforms, Wheelies was purpose-built as a universal solution that works seamlessly across different types of equipment.
Key features of Wheelies:
- A unified control system
- Autonomous mission execution without operator involvement.
- Support for air, land, surface, and underwater systems.
- Ability to control drones from anywhere in the world.
- Automatic saving and analysis of the collected information.
- Functionality preserved even with GPS or connectivity loss.
- Seamless integration into existing IT infrastructure.
Conclusion
Wheelies is a step towards a new standard for the management of unmanned and robotic systems. The platform combines different types of equipment, gives them autonomy, and provides integration with corporate processes. This solution is already paving the way for future large-scale projects.
