## From ground drones to software for autonomous vehicles

Founded in 2017 within the e-Novia ecosystem as a **self-driving ground drone for urban deliveries**, **YAPE** has evolved into a **modular, vehicle-agnostic Autonomy Platform**. Today, it enables autonomy for **off-highway & special-purpose vehicles** (agriculture, construction, logistics, mining) with a **mapless** approach that lowers costs and accelerates adoption.

The **Navigation Kit** combines Remote Control, Localization, Perception, Path Planning & Tracking, Connectivity, and Diagnostics to deliver autonomy that is **scalable, efficient, and reliable**. With over 8 years of R&D in off-highway autonomy and a structured delivery process, YAPE makes autonomous driving accessible to industrial partners worldwide.
