Tyto Robotics (formerly RCbenchmark) is a Canadian aerospace company located in Gatineau, Quebec. The company was created by two students from the University of Ottawa in 2014. Since then, the company has grown significantly, offering a full line of products to thousands of customers worldwide.

During their Master’s thesis, Charles and Dominic designed a small reconnaissance drone helicopter. They encountered a big challenge: their flight time was very low due to the drone's inefficient propulsion system. To improve their helicopter’s performance, they designed a thrust stand capable of measuring the thrust and torque generated by the propeller. They tested different combinations of motors and propellers until they found a much more efficient propulsion system, and it ended up doubling their flight time!

After their success, many colleagues showed interest in their invention and they realized that UAV designers needed tools like theirs. Tyto Robotics was born a few months later and has since become the world leader in UAV test equipment. The company now offers a wide range of professional testing tools for all sizes of UAVs. Thousands of companies around the world have benefited from their products, from new start-ups to large companies alike.
