About Robota
Democratizing Precision Since 2011
Robota exists to make survey-grade precision accessible. For over a decade we have designed, built, and supported navigation and measurement tools, from autopilots and survey drones to RTK GNSS receivers and drone light show systems, all from Dallas, Texas.
We started as engineers frustrated by a simple problem: professional precision tools were priced and packaged for a narrow slice of the industry. GPS receivers with centimeter-level accuracy cost as much as a truck; autopilots were locked ecosystems; mapping meant either compromise or capital expense.
So we built our own. The Goose autopilot flew fixed wings, multirotors, parafoils, and boats. The Eclipse survey drone mapped volcanic eruptions in Guatemala and quarries in Texas. RoboDot turned the RTK receiver into something you could set on a nail, level, and trust. And when we pointed that same navigation stack at the night sky, RoboGlow made professional drone light shows something operators could own instead of rent.
Every product follows the same three rules: workflows must be repeatable, hardware must be reliable, and everything must be robust enough for real field conditions. If we would not stake our own field day on it, we do not ship it.
Our Story
A decade of precision milestones
2011
Robota is founded to build precision navigation for unmanned vehicles, starting with the Goose autopilot for fixed-wing, multirotor, parafoil, and surface platforms.
Drones
The Eclipse fixed-wing survey drone puts centimeter-level RTK/PPK mapping in the hands of surveyors, mapping up to 700 acres in a single flight.
RTK
RoboDot reimagines the RTK receiver as a simple, rugged, affordable circular device that doubles as a smart ground control point.
Shows
RoboGlow brings our navigation precision to entertainment: a portable, professional drone light show system operators can own.
Today
RoboDot Touch, Agisoft Metashape and Dot Product's Dot3D, ShowPlotter, and the RoboGNSS caster form a complete precision ecosystem, still engineered and supported from Dallas, Texas.
What We Value
How we work
Engineers answer the phone
Support comes from the people who designed the hardware and wrote the firmware, not a script. US-based, in Dallas, TX.
Accessible precision
Professional accuracy should not require enterprise budgets. We price our tools so small crews, schools, and independents can do survey-grade work.
Complete workflows
We sell systems, not SKUs: hardware, software, accessories, and documentation designed to work together from field to deliverable.
