Applied Robotics Development

Engineering Bespoke Robotic Solutions for Real-World Impact

Turning Robotic Potential into Operational Reality

Even the most advanced robotic hardware is only as effective as the software that drives it. At Chironix, we specialise in applied robotics software development, bridging the gap between off-the-shelf platforms and the complex demands of real-world industrial operations.

 

Our expertise lies in creating intelligent, robust, and intuitive software solutions, centred around our powerful PilotOS platform, that unlock the full potential of robotic systems and deliver tangible value in challenging environments. We don’t just integrate hardware; we build the intelligence that makes robots effective teammates.

Our Collaborative Development Process

Ideation

Every successful solution starts with a deep understanding of the problem. We collaborate with you to define clear operational objectives, map out requirements, assess technical feasibility, and conceptualise the optimal software-driven robotic solution

Development

Leveraging agile methodologies, our experienced software engineers develop bespoke applications and behaviours tailored to your specific needs. This involves seamless integration with selected hardware platform, developing custom sensor processing algorithms and creating intuitive user interfaces.

Deployment

Software development extends beyond the lab. We ensure successful deployment by managing site integration, commissioning the system within your operational environment, and providing comprehensive user training. Our focus is on achieving operational readiness quickly and efficiently.

Unlocking Hardware Potential with Smart Software

Off-the-shelf robots often come with generic capabilities. Chironix unlocks their true potential through specialized software development. We create the behavioural intelligence, advanced sensor fusion logic, and task-specific automation that transform standard platforms into highly effective tools for your unique operational context.

PilotOS serves as the foundation, providing the core autonomy and communication framework, while our custom software layers deliver the specific functionalities needed to tackle complex challenges – from nuanced inspection routines to intricate multi-robot coordination.

Core Capabilities Enabled by PilotOS & Custom Development

Launch

Go beyond simple start commands. We develop software for sophisticated mission planning, scheduling, and automated task initiation through PilotOS. Define complex operational sequences, trigger missions based on external events or data inputs, and manage autonomous deployment and charging cycles remotely, ensuring your robotic assets are ready and active when needed.
Explore PilotOS

Manoeuvre

Standard navigation isn’t always enough. Our software enhances PilotOS’s core navigation stack to handle challenging specifics – navigating GPS-denied environments, adapting paths around dynamic industrial obstacles, executing precise movements relative to infrastructure, or enabling intuitive teleoperation interfaces with enhanced situational awareness for complex remote tasks.

Perceive

Transform raw sensor data into actionable insights. We develop custom algorithms for processing and fusing data from diverse sensors (visual, thermal, LiDAR, acoustic, gas, etc.). This includes building application-specific models for anomaly detection, object recognition, environmental mapping, and predictive analysis, providing far deeper understanding than basic sensor readouts.

Communicate

Effective human-robot teaming requires clear communication. We design and implement tailored communication protocols, reporting structures, and user interfaces within PilotOS. This includes custom alerts, automated report generation integrated with your existing systems, intuitive dashboards for fleet monitoring, and even novel human-robot interaction methods using gestures or wearables.

Frequently Asked Questions

[01]
We offer end-to-end software development tailored for robotic systems. This includes developing custom control algorithms, sensor integration and data fusion software, specialised navigation behaviours, AI/ML models for perception and analytics, user interface design (within PilotOS), system integration APIs, and extending PilotOS core functionalities for unique requirements.
[02]
PilotOS provides the robust, reliable foundation – handling core autonomy, communication, fleet management, and hardware abstraction. Our custom development builds *on top* of PilotOS, leveraging its strengths while adding the specific intelligence, behaviours, and integrations needed for your unique application, significantly accelerating development compared to building everything from scratch.
[03]
Yes, system integration is a key part of our development process. We design our software solutions with integration in mind, developing APIs and data connectors as needed to ensure seamless communication and data flow between the robotic system (managed by PilotOS) and your existing operational software platforms.
[04]
Our core development often involves C++ and Python, leveraging the ROS (Robot Operating System) ecosystem where appropriate under PilotOS. We also utilise relevant web technologies (like JavaScript, React) for user interfaces and dashboards, and employ various AI/ML frameworks depending on the specific requirements for perception and analytics.
[05]
Our standard approach is that the client owns the IP for the specific, application-level software developed exclusively for their project. Chironix retains the IP for its core PilotOS platform and any pre-existing or generally applicable library components used during development. We establish clear IP terms during the initial project scoping phase.
