Robotics Platforms Integrations

Unified Control & Enhanced Capability via PilotOS

Connecting Capabilities: Making Robotics Work For You

True robotic effectiveness comes from seamless integration – connecting the right hardware, sensors, and existing enterprise systems into a unified, intelligent whole. Chironix excels at this complex systems integration, leveraging our platform-agnostic PilotOS software to orchestrate disparate technologies.

 

We ensure that robotic platforms, specialised payloads, and your operational software work together harmoniously, delivering reliable data, streamlined workflows, and enhanced situational awareness tailored to your specific needs.

Our Structured Integration Approach

Assessment & Design

Successful integration begins with a thorough assessment of your existing infrastructure, operational workflows, and technical requirements. We analyse hardware specifications, communication protocols, data formats, and software APIs (both for robotic components and your enterprise systems).

Interface & Driver Development

Our team develops the necessary “glue” to connect systems. This often involves creating custom software drivers for specialised hardware or sensors, developing middleware for protocol translation, building secure APIs for data exchange with platforms like SCADA, ERP, or asset management systems.

Testing & Validation

Rigorous testing is crucial for reliable integration. We perform comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end system tests in simulated and real-world environments. This validates data accuracy, communication robustness, system performance under load, and adherence to safety protocols.

The Value of Expert Integration

Chironix’s integration expertise unlocks significant value beyond basic hardware capabilities. By seamlessly connecting best-in-class, specialised components (regardless of manufacturer) and linking them to your existing operational systems through PilotOS, we create truly optimised, bespoke solutions.

This avoids vendor lock-in, maximises the utility of both new and existing assets, ensures data flows to where it’s needed, and provides a unified control interface, ultimately delivering greater operational efficiency and a higher return on investment.

Core Integration Capabilities

Hardware & Sensor Integration

We integrate a vast array of hardware with PilotOS, from diverse mobility platforms (wheeled, tracked, legged) to specialised sensors (thermal, visual, acoustic, LiDAR, gas detectors, radiation sensors) and robotic manipulators. Our team develops or adapts drivers to ensure seamless data acquisition and control, regardless of the underlying hardware manufacturer.

Enterprise Software Integration

Bridge the gap between robotic operations and business intelligence. We integrate PilotOS and robotic data streams with your existing enterprise software, including SCADA systems, ERP platforms, Asset Management databases (EAM/CMMS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Video Management Systems (VMS), enabling automated reporting, alerts, and data-driven decision-making.

Data Fusion & Processing

Raw data from multiple sensors is often overwhelming. We develop integration pathways and custom software modules within or alongside PilotOS to fuse data from various sources (e.g., combining thermal and visual feeds, overlaying LiDAR on maps), perform edge processing for real-time insights, and format data for efficient transmission and analysis by higher-level systems

Partnerships & Future-Proofing

Partnerships & Future-Proofing

Successful integration relies on strong collaboration. We work closely with both our clients and our hardware partners throughout the integration lifecycle. This ensures clear communication, effective troubleshooting, and solutions that are truly aligned with operational needs and leverage the full capabilities of the chosen technologies.

Technology evolves constantly. Our integration approach is designed for adaptability. By using modular design principles, standardised interfaces where possible (like ROS), and the flexible PilotOS core, we create integrated systems that can be updated, expanded, or adapted to incorporate new hardware, sensors, or software capabilities as your needs and the technology landscape change.

Frequently Asked Questions

[01]
As a platform-agnostic integrator, we work with a wide range of hardware from leading manufacturers globally. This includes various mobility platforms (UGVs, AMRs, legged robots), diverse sensor payloads (cameras, LiDAR, thermal, acoustic, environmental), manipulator arms, charging stations, and communication hardware. Our focus is on selecting the best components for the specific task and integrating them via PilotOS.
[02]
Yes, we frequently integrate PilotOS and robotic data streams with common industrial control systems and platforms. This typically involves developing interfaces using standard protocols like OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, or custom APIs, allowing for data exchange, status monitoring, and potentially triggering robotic missions based on SCADA events.
[03]
PilotOS and our integration strategies are designed for challenging environments. We implement robust communication protocols with store-and-forward capabilities, allow for autonomous operation based on pre-programmed missions during connectivity loss, and leverage edge processing on the robot itself to minimise reliance on constant network connection for core tasks.
[04]
This typically involves obtaining the sensor’s technical documentation (data sheets, communication protocols, SDKs/APIs), developing a software driver or node (often ROS-based) to interface with the sensor, processing its raw data into a usable format, and integrating this data stream into PilotOS for monitoring, logging, fusion, and use in autonomous behaviours or UI display.
[05]
The timeline varies significantly based on complexity. Integrating a standard sensor with an existing driver might be relatively quick. Integrating a novel hardware platform or connecting to a complex, legacy enterprise system requires more extensive assessment, development, and testing, potentially taking several weeks or months. We provide clear timeline estimates during the initial scoping phase.
