AHRS Sensors and Sensor Fusion in Avionics: A Pilot’s Guide
Modern drones, robotic autopilots, and advanced cockpit systems rely on an Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) to know their 3D orientation. An AHRS typically combines three sensors inside an IMU: a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a magnetometer. Each sees the world differently: gyros sense rotation, accelerometers feel forces (including gravity), and magnetometers point to […]
Schochman R&D: From Embedded Systems to AI-Powered Avionics
At Schochman, we design advanced Embedded Systems that form the backbone of modern avionics. From fast microcontroller code to AI inference on NVIDIA Jetson, our mission is to make flying and robotics safer, smarter, and easier to use. Real-Time Control Aviation and robotics require reliable and precise platforms. Much of our R&D is dedicated to […]
3D Airspace Visualization for Pilots: A New Dimension in Flight
At Schochman, we are building a next-generation cockpit engine for 3D Airspace visualization. Instead of a flat map with colors and lines, pilots will see airspaces as volumes — textured, layered, and real. Our synthetic vision technology renders terrain, aircraft position, and airspaces in three dimensions, all in real time. Why 3D Airspace Visualization Matters […]
ADSB and ADS-B Synthetic Vision Improve Flight Safety
In aviation, one simple rule holds true: the more information a pilot has, the better decisions they can make. Modern technology brings two powerful tools that are transforming the way we fly – ADSB and Synthetic Vision, both fully integrated into the Schochman AI Glass Cockpit. ADSB, or Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, is particularly revolutionizing aviation […]
What Is a Glass Cockpit and How Does It Work?
Step into the cockpit of an older aircraft and you’ll be greeted by the classic “six-pack”: six round analog gauges, each faithfully showing one piece of information. Altitude here, speed there, heading in another corner—it works, but it requires constant scanning and focus. Modern cockpits look very different: large digital displays, crisp graphics, and integrated […]
An 18-Year Journey of Experience Toward Building a Glass Cockpit
From childhood I knew one thing – airplanes would always be part of my life. My passion for aviation technology was evident from the beginning. First small models, later at FEI STU in Bratislava I founded a student team for autonomous drones, where we worked with accelerometers, gyroscopes, and Kalman filters as if they were […]
Childhood Dreams, Real Aircraft, and the Road to Next-Gen Avionics
Early Memories: Look, an Airplane! How a curious child grew up to design a new generation of avionics, shaping what we imagine as the future of avionics. From childhood dreams to next-gen avionics, my journey began when I first looked up at the sky and shouted to my mom:“Look, an airplane!” My childhood was filled […]
