This is a modular perception system consisting of advanced computers and camera systems designed to localize where it is in 3D indoors to a common reference point. It was designed to aid indoor mobile robotics applications with navigation, path planning and S.L.A.M.
Below is a interactive 3D diagram showing the key components of this modular perception unit.
Here is a view to show the large amount of electronics ,cameras and sensors inside the perception module. Designing in 3D CAD software helped illuminate assembly issues before anything was built.
This was a very challenging and fun project. From a drone design perspective it was a great exercise in balancing customer requirements with achievable internal mechanical system architectures.
Here’s the modular drone without the propulsion body attached on top.
TThis is a charging base station designed for the drone. It automatically centers the drone and aligns the charging pins to engage.
Here’s a short video of this drone in action taking 360 photos autonomously
Here is an early prototype doing an autonomous multi-waypoint reconnaissance mission

Charging station was designed to be compatible with different sized multirotors. All you would need to attach is a universal landing skeg to the bottom with integrated charge pins.
Below are examples of past projects spanning all stages of the design process — from breadboard prototypes to hand-soldered small batches and large-scale production with custom enclosures, screen printing, and code flashing. We also have extensive experience in embedded coding to support PCB design, connector/wire harness development, and seamless integration with mechanical layouts, addressing key considerations such as weight, size, heat dissipation, and signal noise. Our expertise covers 1 to 4-layer PCB design and assembly, handling production volumes from one unit to thousands. We also offer quick-turn services to meet fast-paced timelines.
Below is an in-house engineered device designed specifically for Nissan Skyline GTR import cars from Japan, allowing racing enthusiasts to dynamically adjust power transfer between the front and rear wheels. Tailored for performance, it provides on-the-fly tuning to optimize power distribution during intense driving and racing conditions.
Taking an existing capacity at a substation providing 12,470 V we built infrastructure to support 24 MW of computing at 240V. This build took less then 6 months during a massive supply line shortage in a industry leading build process.
