Drone and robotics regulation by country and region.
Requirements for commercial drone flight, robot deployment and field automation are set by each jurisdiction's aviation and safety authorities. Select your country or region below to reach the official regulator and its current guidance.
Jurisdiction, not language
The language you read the site in says nothing about where you operate. Convex keeps regulation tied to the jurisdiction you select, so an English-speaking operator in the EU, the UK, Canada, Australia or Brazil sees the authority that actually governs their flights.
Official sources only
Every reference below points to the responsible authority — FAA, EASA, UK CAA, Transport Canada, CASA, ANAC and DECEA. Convex does not summarise or reinterpret the law; it links you to the primary source.
What to check before operating
In most jurisdictions the same four questions apply: is the aircraft registered, is the pilot certified or accredited, which operating category applies to the mission, and is airspace authorisation required for that location.
Robotics and workplace safety
Ground robots and industrial automation follow machinery-safety frameworks rather than aviation rules. ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066 are the common international references for industrial and collaborative robots, complemented by each country's occupational safety regulations.
Country / Region
Requirements depend on the jurisdiction where you operate, not on the language you read. Choose your country or region to see the official regulator and its guidance.
