Autel Unveils AAGI Air-Ground Intelligence Solution, Using AIP Platform to Link Unmanned Swarm Collaboration | Frontline

Author: Huang Nan Editor: Yuan Silai Recently, Autel Intelligent launched its AAGI (Autel Air-Ground Intelligence) solution brand in Shenzhen and, together with Daohe Tongtai and Saifang Technology, introduced the AIP foundation along with three industry application platforms: EIS 2.0, Avant Hub 2.0, and Skyshield 2.0. At the event, Autel demonstrated the coordinated operation of air and ground equipment, including drones, unmanned vehicles, robots, and smart drone nests. AAGI is not a standalone hardware product but a collaborative system that connects aerial drones, ground robots, unmanned vehicles, and industry software. Autel Intelligent CEO Wang Yuelu summed it up as "coordination between digital intelligent agents and physical intelligent agents." Through standardized products, scenario-customized services, and end-to-end delivery, the company aims to bring air-ground capabilities into real business workflows rather than leaving them at the level of single-device demonstrations. This shift reflects changes underway in the unmanned equipment industry. In sectors such as transportation, energy, industrial parks, and public safety, wide-area patrol coverage, repetitive operations, and difficulty coordinating exception handling across systems have long been shared pain points. As the number of drones, unmanned vehicles, and robots grows, the industry's focus is shifting from "whether there is equipment" to "whether devices can collaborate, whether information can be aggregated, and whether business systems can connect." Standalone capability is no longer a scarce resource; stable task division among heterogeneous equipment within the same mission, and a business loop from detection to response, are becoming the new threshold. However, the engineering difficulty of heterogeneous collaboration is often underestimated. Drones and unmanned vehicles differ significantly in sensing perspectives, motion dynamics, communication conditions, and computing constraints. Tightly coupled decision-making and limited communication bandwidth make stable collaboration far more complex than single-device control. AAGI's engineering approach is the AIP platform: centered on a business ontology, it links regions, facilities, equipment, and tasks, converts operational requirements into plans that different devices can execute, while humans retain confirmation and supervisory authority at key stages. Above the platform layer, industry applications address security, inspection, and low-altitude safety respectively. EIS 2.0 supports issuing tasks via dialogue and maps, centrally monitors device locations, on-site imagery, and execution progress, and is suited for regional security and police law enforcement.
