SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- UVIFY, a leader in autonomous drone and aerial robotics systems, today announced its role as a Platinum Sponsor of Embedded Linux Conference North America 2026, part of Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference North America.

Hosted by the Linux Foundation, Embedded Linux Conference brings together developers, maintainers, architects, technical leaders, and open source decision-makers to advance the technologies shaping modern embedded systems. The 2026 event is especially meaningful for the aerial robotics community, with Dronecode and PX4 represented within a broader gathering of open source leaders working across embedded Linux, autonomy, safety-critical systems, robotics, and next-generation infrastructure.

"Open source is not simply a method of building software. It is a civic principle for the future of technology," said Robert Cheek, Chief Operating Officer of UVIFY. "In aerial robotics, the world cannot afford a future defined by closed systems, fragmented standards, or innovation controlled by a narrow few. Dronecode represents a more durable path: one built on transparency, shared responsibility, and the belief that critical technology should be strengthened in the open. UVIFY is honored to support this combined conference as a Platinum Sponsor because the future of autonomous flight should be shaped by the communities, maintainers, engineers, and organizations willing to build it together."

UVIFY's sponsorship reflects its long-term commitment to open collaboration across robotics, embedded Linux, and autonomous systems. As drones become increasingly important to entertainment, public safety, inspection, research, defense, education, and industrial operations, open source foundations provide the neutral ground needed for interoperability, security, reliability, and responsible scale.

"Dronecode being part of this broader conference matters," Cheek continued. "Aerial robotics does not stand apart from the embedded world; it is built on it. Flight controllers, real-time systems, autonomy stacks, sensor fusion, edge intelligence, safety engineering, and secure deployment are all part of the same technological fabric. Bringing these communities together is exactly how lasting innovation happens."

As a Platinum Sponsor, UVIFY will support the developers and communities building the open systems that power the next generation of embedded and autonomous technologies. The company views the conference as a strategic opportunity to deepen collaboration with maintainers, industry leaders, researchers, and partners working across Linux, robotics, autonomy, and open infrastructure.
