Vishwa Robotics is an aerospace robotics design company that is best known for the development of perching Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV), a bird sized aerial drone/robot designed for the US Air Force that can descend on tree branches and remain perched against wind vibrations and rain fall. This project was accomplished with funding from Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).[1][2] The company is located near MIT campus in Cambridge, MA. Bhargav Gajjar is the company's president and chief scientist. He spun the company off based on his experiences at NASA and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
