AiSeed Technology, an artificial intelligence-powered drone developer headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, China, has successfully closed a $6 million Pre-Series A funding round. The investment was led by PEGATRON Corporation, a global electronic manufacturing service leader, with participation from SparkLabs Taiwan.
The company has strategically allocated this funding to advance R&D of next-generation AI flight control chips and avionics systems, secure global certification for mass production, and establish a U.S. operational hub. These initiatives collectively aim to enhance manufacturing capacity, accelerate technological innovation, and propel AiSeed's global expansion.
AiSeed's product ecosystem encompasses AI-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), edge computing-enabled AI recognition platforms, comprehensive turnkey drone surveillance solutions, and AI visual navigation algorithms.
The flagship drone model achieves a peak speed of 160 km/h and demonstrates GPS-independent operational capabilities through its onboard AI system, enabling autonomous navigation, target identification, and precision return-to-base functions. Seamlessly integrated with an edge AI processing architecture, the system leverages cutting-edge AI chips and flight control technologies to deliver mission-critical performance metrics, including millisecond-level response times, real-time environmental analysis, and self-contained decision-making autonomy.
Founded in 2019 by industry veterans Wang Zongyuan and Li Zhiting—former engineers at Google, Motorola, and Wistron—AiSeed specializes in deep integration of edge AI with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) high-speed drones. The company continues to refine its proprietary AI navigation system, engineered to enable GPS-free autonomous flight operations for defense applications, infrastructure inspection, and urban air mobility deployments.
