# Ring AI Pilot: robotics OS layer

AI Pilot is [Ring](/companies/ring.md)'s custom-built autonomy system for its Ring Robotics devices. It combines the robots' cameras, specialized vision models, on-device sensors and cloud processing. During setup it turns what a robot sees into a floor plan, identifies rooms and suggests patrol points; on each flight or patrol it plans a route to the preset point and steers around furniture, shelving and other obstacles in real time. Ring founder [Jamie Siminoff](/people/jamie-siminoff.md) said the drone streams video to the cloud, which tells it where to go, and that the drone itself carries only enough intelligence to land.
