Stanford Robotics Seminar ENGR319 | Autumn 2026 | Skydio: Autonomy for a Family of Flying Robots

For more information about Stanford’s graduate programs, visit: stanford.io/grad-ed-engr319-1009 October 9, 2026 This seminar covers: • How Skydio’s autonomy stack enables flying robots to navigate complex environments, track subjects, and execute missions from high-level operator commands • The full autonomy stack powering Skydio’s flying robots, spanning both cloud and edge computing • The F10 Lightrunner, Skydio’s recently unveiled aircraft with a distinctive asymmetric design • How the F10 extends autonomy to long-range fixed-wing flight, including robotic takeoff and landing from MegaDock • How these capabilities let a single operator orchestrate multiple drones remotely through a web browser • How this brings autonomous robotics to public safety and critical infrastructure applications Follow along with the seminar schedule: stanfordasl.github.io/robotics_seminar/archive/ Juraj Kabzan is the VP of Autonomy at Skydio, where he leads robotics software development for advanced flying robots.
