Builders of Pluto Drones – modular programmable drones for hands-on learning and innovation in robotics and coding.
Since 2014, our mission has been simple yet powerful:
👉 Democratize drone technology by making it accessible, hands-on, and meaningful for students, educators, hobbyists, and developers.
We are the creators of Pluto Drones – DIY nano drone platforms that let you build, fly, and program real drones, not just simulations.
Pluto Drones are educational, programmable nano drones designed to teach:
- Drone flight control systems
- Coding & embedded programming
- Robotics and automation
- Real-world engineering concepts
- STEM learning through hands-on experimentation
Trusted in Education:
Pluto drones are present in 16+ countries, used by 50,000+ students, educators, and innovation labs across schools, colleges, and 8000+ Atal Tinkering Labs (ATL) – government educational labs in India for hands-on STEM and drone learning.
Unlike toy drones or limited exposure platforms, Pluto is a modular drone, making it ideal for:
- STEM education & classrooms
- School and college projects
- Robotics clubs & maker spaces
- Research and rapid prototyping
- DIY drone builders
- Modular Hardware & Software
- DIY Build-It-Yourself Drone Kits
- Beginner to Advanced Programming Support
- Used in Schools, Colleges, and Innovation Labs
- Made in India
