Always more work to do. That's what makes it fun.
We're testing how camera feeds reach our drones' onboard computers so the AI has better information to work with. Test, fly, tinker, repeat.

What our phone sees vs. what our drone sees! More views from our Wisconsin grand opening event this week.

Scenes from our grand opening celebration at Hartford Municipal Airport this morning. A big thank you to @RepFitzgerald and the many local elected officials, business leaders, airport officials, and everyone who joined us to celebrate Rownd's expansion in Wisconsin. We're thrilled to put roots down in Richfield and build lasting relationships in the community.

I had the chance to join a tech demo today for autonomous #drones made by @RowndAI for the U.S. military, as part of a kick-off event for a new R&D effort in #wisconsin. Look for coverage later at @WisBusiness

We've been perfecting voice command with our drones over the past few weeks. Here's a look at the technology in action.

Great conversations with WisBusiness. Thanks for having us on the show!
🎙 “A warfighter might need to understand something #downrange, and they can put one of our #Rownd systems in the air and it will autonomously report back without any user inputs,” Rob Thelen said, launching its #AI #drone + a $10M @DeptofWar contract. wisbusiness.com/2026/wisbusi…

Today, we're launching @RowndAI. You may have seen some sneak peeks into what we're doing, but it's exciting to remove the curtain and show off the future. Autonomous drones built for scale and rapid replenishment, delivered directly to the warfighter's hands. America needs a new type of weapons system. We're building it.

Flying a drone looks simple. Making it reliable takes countless engineering hours, late nights, and frustrating crashes. But when you see it all come together, it's incredible. That's what keeps me going. And that’s what we’re building at @RowndAI 🚁
