Build for the real world.
Our development programme explores tabletop assistants, educational demonstrators, useful mechanisms and repeatable component production.
From a physical task to a testable device
The robotics programme is in development. A prototype, engineering engagement or manufacturing run needs its own feasibility review.
Define the physical job
Agree what the device senses, what it can move or say and how a person intervenes. Use the job to choose sensors, actuators, local controls and the interface.
Engineer, assemble and test
Plan serviceable housings, mounts, wiring and replaceable modules. Test repeated motion, stability, safe stop and loss of communications.
Qualify the build
Keep the parts list, firmware revisions, assembly instructions and inspection results together. Release depends on repeatable builds, documented testing and an agreed support model.
Review a sample prototype test
A tabletop prototype must pick up and place an empty card five times during a supervised demonstration.
See the test record
Four placements succeeded. The card slipped on the fifth attempt. The next test will compare grip material and record the result.
