Robota Software
Software Built by the Team That Builds the Hardware
We have been writing navigation, positioning, and mission software since 2011: it flies our drones, runs our receivers, and plans our shows. These are the tools we build and operate ourselves.
Included with RoboGlow
RoboShow: Design & Simulate Drone Light Shows
RoboShow is the design studio behind every RoboGlow performance. Build formations, animations, and logos, then simulate the entire show in 3D — every drone, every second — before a single battery is charged.
- Formation and animation design with full-show 3D simulation
- Collision and spacing checks while you design, not on show night
- Geofence and safety constraints carried through to the flight plan
RoboShow ships with every RoboGlow kit, and operator training is part of every delivery. Flying the show is GloCS, our ground control station: staging, per-drone monitoring, and failsafes on the night.
One pipeline, no handoffs
RoboShow designs it, GloCS flies it, and the show moves between them without an export step or a format conversion. That is how a two-person crew delivers a repeatable performance night after night.

ShowPlotter: Drone Show Site Planning
ShowPlotter takes the guesswork out of drone light show site planning. Plot your launch grid, geofence, and audience standoff distances on real-world maps, then share professional site plans with venues, authorities, and crews.
- Launch grid layout with real drone spacing
- Geofence and safety zone visualization
- Share a plan with your crew and with everyone who has to sign off on it
ShowPlotter is included in every RoboGlow operator's toolkit and available to any drone show operator.
Why it exists
A drone show is approved by people who were not at the site visit. The fire marshal, the event coordinator, the venue's security lead, and whoever handles FAA compliance each need to see the same plan — and historically that meant a screenshot in an email thread, re-drawn every time something moved.
ShowPlotter is that plan in one place: your crew and every third party look at the same grid, the same geofence, and the same standoff distances, and they see it update when it changes. Repeatable shows begin on the ground, and so does getting permission to fly.

RoboGNSS: Get More From Your Base Stations
RoboGNSS is our hosted NTRIP caster, and more than a caster. Stream corrections from your own base stations, watch their health live, hand out scoped credentials to each crew, and pull RINEX from raw data for OPUS and PPP — all in a browser. No on-premises server, no desktop software.
- NTRIP v1 and v2, raw TCP and HTTPS; forward to Onocoy, RTK2go, or anywhere else
- Live health checks on message rates, satellites, and broadcast position — it tells you when an antenna has moved
- Per-crew rover credentials you can share as a link and revoke just as easily
- On-demand RINEX conversion for OPUS and PPP, with the reference frame declared per stream
- Works with any NTRIP-capable rover, including RoboDot Touch
The utilities are free
RINEX conversion and post-processing prep used to mean a Windows desktop client. They are now free web tools on RoboGNSS, so a field crew on any machine can turn raw observations into an OPUS or PPP submission without installing anything.
The free tier covers one base station and two rovers. Our RoboNet VRS plans remain the plug-and-play option for RoboDot Touch owners who would rather not run a base at all.
Custom Development
Custom geospatial software and integrations
Positioning & navigation
RTK/PPK workflows, GNSS integration, and autonomous navigation stacks: the same engineering that powers our autopilots and receivers.
Fleet & ground control
Ground control stations, fleet monitoring, and firmware-to-cloud pipelines for connected hardware in the field.
Mapping pipelines
Automated photogrammetry processing, data QA, and delivery tooling around Metashape and GIS ecosystems.
Have a geospatial problem that off-the-shelf software will not solve? We take on a small number of development engagements each year.
