Do you work with universities and research labs?

Yes. We partner with universities and research institutions worldwide to co-develop custom robot platforms, providing finished hardware, base software, an open API and an SDK for experimentation and secondary development.

Is your platform ROS-friendly?

Yes. Our open API and SDK are designed for integration with common research toolchains, including ROS-friendly interfaces, so your team can build and experiment on top of a reliable base.

Can you build a one-off prototype or small batch?

Yes. We support single prototypes, iterative development and small-batch builds — ideal for research projects, grants and pilots — with a clear path to scale later if needed.

Open collaboration. Better robots, built with you. We stay open to partners and customers — so every robot we ship fits your scenario, your workflow, and your users.

Why partner with us

The hardware backbone for your research

Building reliable robot hardware from scratch drains research time and budget. We provide the engineered platform — mechanics, electronics, navigation and base software — so your team can focus on the novel science, algorithms and applications that matter.

Skip years of hardware iteration; start from a proven base
Custom sensor, compute and actuation payloads
Open API + SDK for full programmatic control
One accountable manufacturing partner for the build

Beyond the lab

Field-ready and portable

We build platforms for demanding field work too — from counter-drone units to portable payloads — so your research reaches the environment it was designed for, not just the bench.

What we provide

A platform built for experimentation

Open SDK & API

Program the robot directly — navigation, motion, tasks and telemetry — through documented SDKs and a REST/gRPC API, with ROS-friendly interfaces.

Custom sensor & compute payloads

Integrate the LiDAR, cameras, manipulators, GPUs or edge compute your research requires, mounted and powered on a dependable base.

Modular, extensible platform

Mechanical and electrical interfaces designed for iteration, so you can add, swap and test modules across a project's lifetime.

Prototyping to small batch

From a single research prototype to a small validated batch for multi-site studies — with a clear route to scale if your work commercialises.

True joint development

Engineer-to-researcher collaboration — we work directly with your team on requirements, iterations and acceptance, not through a reseller.

Worldwide delivery & support

Export, documentation and remote support for research groups anywhere, backed by nearly 30 years of foreign-trade experience.

How we collaborate

Flexible models for research teams

Whether you need a platform to run your own experiments, a co-developed prototype for a grant, or a manufacturing partner to productise a lab result, we shape the engagement around your project and timeline.

Platform supply: our robot base + your research on top
Co-development: joint design of a bespoke prototype
Productisation: turn a lab result into a manufacturable robot
Small-batch builds for multi-site or field studies
