Robotic Hardware Development

Hardware is the physical embodiment of your robot. Different tasks, environments, brand languages, and levels of safety criticality all have different hardware requirements. 

SKA Robotics specializes in delivering world class hardware development services for commercial-industrial robots operating in harsh and unpredictable environments.

Robotic hardware development services include:

  • Electrical engineering 

  • Mechanical engineering

  • Firmware engineering

  • Field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation

  • Light manufacturing

Robotic Software Development

Software is what brings your robotic system to life. Robotic software engineering requires both a practical understanding of software engineering best practices and hands-on experience with field robotics.

SKA Robotics has deep experience in robotic software, including:

  • Robot autonomy

  • Perception engineering and computer vision

  • Embedded systems and drivers

  • Embedded operating systems (Yocto, Buildroot, ROS1, ROS2)

  • Field data collection pipelines

  • Over-the-air firmware updates

  • Field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation

Robotic Systems Engineering

Systems Engineering is the discipline of coordinating a series of components into a whole that is greater than the sum of their parts. It is critically important to consider the purpose and interplay of engineered robotic systems early and often in order to keep engineering functions and teams marching in a common direction, avoid costly mistakes, and improve time to market.

SKA Robotics offers a range of classical and models-based robotic systems engineering services to help you define:

  • Concept of operations

  • Product requirements

  • Physical architectures

  • Functional architectures

  • States and modes 

  • Verification and validation (V&V)
