From autonomous farm robots to surgical instruments — if your machine needs custom AI-native control electronics, we've built it.
Agricultural robots must navigate unstructured fields, coordinate with precision implements, and operate reliably in dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Each machine type — from autonomous weeders to robotic harvesters — requires a unique combination of real-time motor control, GPS-guided navigation, and computer vision for crop detection. The control system must handle all of this while meeting the ruggedization demands of all-weather outdoor deployment.
RTK GPS, implement control, LiDAR/camera fusion, weatherproof enclosure, 12–48V power systems, CAN bus interfaces, fleet-scale cloud connectivity
Autonomous excavators, loaders, and inspection robots must operate in some of the harshest conditions on earth — extreme vibration, dust, temperature swings, and constant mechanical stress. Adding autonomy to heavy equipment means integrating hydraulic control interfaces, LiDAR/GPS positioning, and safety systems onto a single ruggedized control platform that can withstand years of field abuse.
Hydraulic proportional valve control, CAN/J1939 interfaces, shock/vibration rated, wide-temperature operation, IP67+ enclosures, GNSS/RTK positioning
ROVs, AUVs, and underwater inspection drones face a uniquely challenging control problem: pressure-tolerant electronics must process sonar data, control multiple thrusters for stable positioning, and run autonomous navigation algorithms — all in a compact, sealed package operating at depths of hundreds of meters. Communication bandwidth is severely limited underwater, making on-board intelligence essential.
Pressure-tolerant electronics, sonar/acoustic interfaces, multi-thruster ESC control, low-power design, depth-rated connectors, acoustic modem integration
Surgical navigation and robotic instruments demand ultra-low-latency real-time computing, miniaturized form factors, and medical-grade reliability. The control system must fuse patient tracking data with instrument positioning at microsecond precision, while meeting stringent regulatory requirements for safety and electromagnetic compatibility.
Ultra-low-latency processing, miniaturized form factor, EMI/EMC compliance, sterilization-compatible materials, patient safety isolation, FDA pathway awareness
Aerial and ground-based inspection robots must maintain precise positioning while performing non-destructive testing (NDT), often in GPS-denied environments like inside industrial structures or at height on bridges and towers. The control challenge is unique: stable flight or positioning combined with contact mechanics for sensor placement against surfaces, while processing sensor data in real time.
Visual-inertial SLAM, NDT sensor interfaces, contact force sensing, wind-resistant flight control, compact/lightweight design, real-time data streaming
Kitchen automation and warehouse robots operate in chaotic, dynamic environments where precise manipulation meets variable objects. Each robot must combine computer vision for object recognition with fine motor control for grasping and manipulation — all in enclosures that meet food-safety or industrial hygiene standards. The control system must be fast enough for real-time visual servoing and reliable enough for 24/7 operation.
Vision-guided servoing, multi-axis servo control, food-safe materials (IP69K options), thermal management, EtherCAT/EtherNet-IP interfaces, cloud fleet management
Solar panel cleaning robots and grid inspection systems must operate autonomously across massive solar farms and energy infrastructure, often in extreme heat and desert conditions. Each robot needs weather-hardened electronics, precision motor control for panel cleaning or inspection tasks, and cloud connectivity for fleet-scale coordination. The economics demand high-volume, cost-optimized control hardware.
Extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), solar-powered low-energy operation, dust/waterproofing (IP67+), cellular/LPWAN connectivity, fleet OTA updates
Materials testing machines — tensile testers, hardness testers, fatigue systems — demand precision control of servo motors and hydraulic actuators combined with high-speed data acquisition. The control system is the single most valuable component in the machine, representing 20–40% of total machine cost. Mid-market manufacturers face intense pressure to add AI-powered analysis, cloud connectivity, and automated sample handling without the R&D budget of the industry leaders.
