Job
Mandatory actions, frequency, duty window and unacceptable failures.
ROBOT DEVELOPMENT · SYSTEMS INTEGRATION
Robot development that turns a demo into an acceptable operating system
For projects requiring SDK or ROS work, mapping, sensors, job orchestration, enterprise interfaces or fleet operations. We verify the exact robot edition and rights before a representative PoC.
ProjectsSDK / ROS, navigation, perception, jobs and enterprise integration
First gateRepresentative PoC with reviewable evidence
Delivery floorVersions, code/config, interfaces, tests, training and recovery
Inputs needed before scope and quotation
Incomplete material is acceptable; missing inputs will become a validation list.
Robot
Exact model, hardware, options, firmware, SDK and warranty limits.
Site
Plans, surfaces, doors, network, power, people and takeover points.
Systems
Accounts, APIs, protocols, data, permissions, logs and existing software.
Field and system evidence
These materials expose operating variables; they do not prove a universal outcome.
Decision and delivery framework
Separate configuration from engineering
Break the job into perception, decision, motion, interaction, data and human operation, then verify what the exact edition already provides.
Treat every unsupported claim as a risk or precondition, never as a deliverable inferred from another model's video.
- Model and firmware baseline
- SDK, ROS and sensor rights
- Field infrastructure
- Human takeover and stop
Use one representative PoC
Choose the smallest job that exposes the main field risk, record releases, conditions, repetitions, failures and interventions.
A PoC does not prove multi-site, fleet, public-space or long-duty operation; validate those separately.
- Inputs and pass condition
- Raw logs and failures
- Repeatable test
- Continue/change/stop gate
Define data and responsibility
Map every device, edge, local network, cloud and enterprise hop, including ownership, retention, access and offline behavior.
Camera, speech, people and production data require explicit authorization and least-privilege access.
- Message and API contract
- Accounts and permissions
- Local/cloud boundary
- Retry and offline strategy
Hand over a maintainable system
Delivery should include exact versions, packages, configuration, interfaces, tests, training and recovery; source, licenses and warranty impact belong in the contract.
New sites or jobs return to the test baseline instead of being assumed equivalent.
- Versioned delivery list
- Acceptance evidence
- Operations and recovery
- Ownership and change control
| Gate | Question | Evidence | If it fails |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feasibility | Does the exact edition expose the interfaces? | Documents, sample unit and probes | Change edition, job or stop |
| PoC | Can one representative job close the loop? | Logs, video, raw data and failures | Reduce or redesign |
| Field pilot | Can people operate it in the real site? | Duty, takeover and recovery records | Add infrastructure or retain human work |
| Handover | Can the customer operate and recover it? | Acceptance, training and release list | Remediate before sign-off |
Evidence sources
Use the exact manufacturer edition, interface documentation, representative tests and the written project baseline. Internal catalogs help discovery but do not replace current manufacturer evidence.
Limits and exclusions
- Rights vary by model, edition and firmware; verify the exact configuration.
- Lab or demo success does not prove public-space, terrain or long-duty performance.
- Unverified certification, safety grade, performance, lead time and duty claims are not commitments.
- Remote control and personal or production data require customer authorization and security review.
Capabilities, price and lead time are conditional planning information, not a performance or return guarantee. The written configuration, test and contract control the final scope.
Frequently asked questions
How is robot development priced?
Price depends on edition, jobs, interfaces, site, tests, deliverables, location and support. We scope it in stages after feasibility review.
Can you integrate ROS or our system?
It depends on exact interface rights and the customer environment. Messages, rates, formats, network and security are verified first.
Can we start with one small feature?
Yes. Choose the smallest task that represents the main technical risk and define inputs, pass conditions, failure handling and extension limits.
Can customization affect the manufacturer warranty?
It can. Hardware, firmware, control and third-party modules must be checked against manufacturer and contract terms.
