Pitom

PITOM is a young, dynamic and proactive company, focused on the design and realization of autopilots, Ground Control Stations and unmanned aerial, ground and marine vehicles. Founded in March 2011 by former researchers of the Dept. of Energy and Systems Engineering (DESE) at the University of Pisa, PITOM reflects the dream of its founders to transfer military unmanned vehicles technology to civilian applications.
