Proof of Concept in Robotics

A Proof of Concept in robotics is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility. It’s a small-scale exercise to test a discrete design idea or assumption, allowing developers to validate the practicality of a robotic concept before full-scale development.

Proof of Concept development is crucial in robotics for several reasons:

• It allows for testing hypotheses with minimal investment
• It helps demonstrate the viability of a concept to stakeholders
• It enables the identification and resolution of issues early in the development process
• It provides a tangible demonstration to secure funding and partnerships

At Boston Engineering, we excel in creating effective Proofs of Concept for robotics projects. Our approach includes:

• Utilizing ROS2 (Robot Operating System 2) for efficient and standardized development
• Employing advanced simulation tools like Gazebo for cost-effective testing
• Leveraging our expertise in autonomy, sensor fusion, and localization
• Applying a wide range of robotics concepts, from manual to fully autonomous systems
• Focusing on component and software reuse for faster development

• Autonomy testing and development
• Sensor fusion and integration
• Localization and mapping (SLAM) implementation
• Control systems design and testing
• Human-Machine Interface (HMI) prototyping
• Custom PCB design for space-constrained applications
• Integration of machine learning and AI technologies
