Coimbatore-based YARI Robotics launches V6X flight controller and Atlas data platform

COIMBATORE — YARI Robotics has announced the worldwide launch of its first two product platforms: the YARI V6X flight controller and the YARI Atlas unified data platform. Headquartered in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, the company builds hardware, software, and autonomy infrastructure for teams developing unmanned aerial, ground, and marine systems.

The newly introduced YARI V6X is an enterprise-grade, FMUv6X Pixhawk-compatible modular flight controller and autopilot platform intended for unmanned-vehicle missions. Designed and built in India, the hardware supports developers building copters, planes, VTOLs, rovers, boats, underwater ROVs, and custom robotics platforms.

According to the company, V6X supports PX4 and ArduPilot, allowing developers and manufacturers to utilize established open-source autopilot ecosystems alongside modern hardware. The flight controller includes Ethernet connectivity and specific interfaces designed for integration with companion computers, sensors, payloads, and other vehicle systems. The hardware has also cleared environmental and EMC testing in NABL-accredited labs as part of the validation process.

Alongside the hardware release, YARI Robotics is launching YARI Atlas, a unified data platform tailored for small unmanned vehicles. The platform integrates PX4, ArduPilot, and ROS 2 MCAP logs into a single workflow intended for review, monitoring, debugging, AI-assisted triage, and team collaboration.

The Atlas ecosystem incorporates several specific components, including YARI Agent for companion-computer log sync, YARI ROS Bridge for ROS 2 and live-data workflows, and YARI SDK for offline analysis, custom experiments, and batch research workflows, supported by enterprise-grade security and access controls.

With the release of V6X and Atlas, YARI Robotics is rolling out the initial public components of its autonomy stack. The offerings focus on platform layers situated below original equipment manufacturer (OEM) vehicle platforms and custom applications, aiming to assist defense, commercial, research teams, and builders in developing on a reusable foundation.

“We started YARI Robotics to build practical autonomy infrastructure for unmanned-vehicle teams, from the hardware inside the vehicle to the software workflows engineers use. Building both sides lets us stay close to real field problems and create tools that help teams move faster with more confidence,” stated Karthik Arumugham, Founder and Managing Director of YARI Robotics.

Pre-orders for the YARI V6X open on August 15, 2026, with shipments expected to commence in approximately two months. Meanwhile, YARI Atlas is currently accessible in a private beta phase for select teams, with general market availability anticipated in January 2027.

"The launch of homegrown hardware and software infrastructure by YARI Robotics highlights the growing maturity of India's deep-tech and engineering ecosystem. By addressing both the physical flight controller and the data platform layer for unmanned systems, the company is targeting a specialized segment of the global robotics market. Building integrated solutions for defense, commercial, and research applications from a tier-2 Indian city demonstrates the expanding geographical footprint of advanced engineering startups in the country." — Dr. Shishir Gupta, Founder & CEO, StartupLanes
