Nanoveu (ASX:NVU) – through its subsidiary EMASS (Embedded A.I. Systems Pte. Ltd) – has completed a significant first milestone in its structured drone testing program, focused particularly on the capabilities of its chip, ECS-DoT.

The testing showed ECS-DoT could complete a full ‘sense–think–act’ loop at 50 Herz (Hz) in PX4/Gazebo Hardware in loop (HIL) tests – meaning the chip is able to process flight data and adjust propeller output 50 times per second (50 Hz) in real-time simulation tests.
This is fast enough for many real-time control systems, facilitating the rapid feedback for stable flight; on this basis, it can be said the chip supports stability in several environments, providing flight time improvements of up to 30%.
The purpose of ECS-DoT is for use in advanced on-board, ultra-low-power AI tasks such as inspection and precision landing, while also being designed to use less power than a typical digital watch (<1 mW).
Nanoveu said the next step in its assessment will involve ECS-DoT learning and optimising its own flight strategies through advanced, adaptive-AI techniques; final results from the testing are expected at the end of June, using the PX4/Gazebo platform1 and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbenches.
The completion of this testing will kick off live drone trials.

EMASS founder Dr Mohammed M. Sabry Aly said the testing had underlined the value of this chip. “This 50 Hz milestone proves ECS-DoT can handle real-time, high-frequency control loops with extreme energy efficiency,” he said.
“It’s a crucial first step toward transforming drones into smarter, longer-flying platforms that can perform complex tasks without cloud dependence or battery trade-offs.”
NVU has been trading at 4.9 cents.
