Asylon Robotics, Inc. (founded in 2015) is a Norristown, Pennsylvania–based startup that delivers full-stack robotic perimeter security systems—combining AI‑powered ground robots (DroneDog), automated aerial drones (Guardian), and a 24/7 Robotic Security Operations Center (RSOC) staffed by analysts who supervise mission execution.
Core Technology & Solutions
DroneDog – Security Robot Dogs
- Asylon customizes Boston Dynamics’ Spot robots with a proprietary payload (“PupPack”) including thermal and optical cameras, chemical and gas sensors, and an onboard NVIDIA AI/ML processor.
- DroneDog performs autonomous patrols, alarm responses, and high-risk tasks—capable of navigating stairs, gravel, snow, and rough terrain for ~90 minutes per mission.
Guardian – Automated Security Drones
- The Guardian system enables fully autonomous drone missions—pre-programmed or click‑and‑drag flight plans, live EO/IR streaming, alarm investigations, and BVLOS compliance using custom automated air bases (“DroneHome”) with battery-swap functionality.
Command & Control: DroneCore & RSOC
- Asylon’s DroneCore platform orchestrates both ground and aerial assets.
- Its RSOC provides uninterrupted 24/7 remote monitoring, teleoperation, data analytics, mission planning, and incident response—ensuring consistent value and safety for clients.
Proven Performance & Traction
- Completed 100,000+ robotic missions by mid‑2024—with the last 10,000 missions executed in just 37 days—a testament to rapid operational scaling (covering ~73,000 miles and inspecting millions of points of interest).
- By July 2025, over 250,000 combined missions and 150,000 robot-manned miles were logged across DroneDog and drone systems.
Funding & Growth Trajectory
- In July 2025, Asylon raised $24–26 million in Series B funding, led by Insight Partners with contributions from Veteran Ventures Capital, Allegion Ventures, and the GO PA Fund.
- Total funding to date: approximately $45 million, including earlier venture rounds and government grants.
Government & Industry Partnerships
- Awarded Phase II SBIR contracts through AFWERX, including a multi‑million-dollar U.S. Air Force project developing autonomous robot dogs for base security.
- Asylon’s robotic units have supported high-profile public safety events such as the 2024 Indianapolis 500, aiding gas detection and perimeter security.
Leadership & Expert Team
- Founding executives:
- Damon Henry (CEO),
- Adam Mohammed (CTO), and
- Brent McLaughlin (COO)
- Their leadership team and advisors include ex-military, aerospace, and public policy veterans—such as U.S. Navy Captain (Ret.) David A. Culler, Jr., former FAA Deputy Acting Administrator Dan Elwell, and others with backgrounds at Boeing, Lockheed, Johns Hopkins, MIT, and Lockheed Martin.
Industry Verticals & Applications
Asylon serves sectors such as logistics, energy, manufacturing, critical infrastructure, corporate campuses, and defense. Its automated systems offer:
- Significant security and operational ROI via reduced labor costs and improved situational awareness.
- Chemical or hazardous detection capabilities on robot escorts.
- Remote inspection of large perimeter fence lines, acceleration of response to alarms, and support during mass event security processes.
Why Asylon Matters
- True end-to-end, American-made solution: a rare integrated package combining robots, drones, analytics, and live monitoring under one roof.
- Automation where human presence is risky or costly: high uptime, zero fatigue, and inspection capabilities for hazardous zones.
- Scalability at pace: from 10k to 100k missions in under two years reflects real demand and network effects in deployments.
Looking Forward
- Asylon is channeling its Series B funding toward expanding engineering and operations teams, scaling deployments, and rolling out next-generation security platform features.
- The company is emerging as a go-to provider of Robotics as a Service (RaaS) in both commercial and government ecosystems—offering automated ground and aerial patrols tailored to enterprise risk profiles and facility use cases.
Final Word
Asylon Robotics is redefining perimeter security by merging aerial drone capabilities, robotic ground assets, AI-driven software, and continuous remote monitoring. Backed by strong government support, rapid deployment scale, and a unified command infrastructure, it’s carving a new frontier in resilient, automated physical security for commercial and defense clients.
