Problem

In the robotics industry, there is an absence of a robust, secure and practical control unit that is also capable of HD video streaming and transmission of control inputs in a real time fashion over long distances. We aim to fill that gap with our solution.

Solution

Our solution consists of two subsystems:

  • Operator system: A practical handheld unit that features a touchscreen, joysticks, buttons. It is basically a remote control for the robot.
  • On-board system: Computing unit that handles video streaming and command transfer. It is designed to be plugged in to the robot.

Universal support for different robot platforms

OCU(stands for Operator Control Unit) is designed as a hardware-agnostic system. It means, OCU supports many robot platforms such as legged, wheeled or humanoid ones.

Practical controller with live video feed

We deliver live video feed we got from the robot to te robot operator. This live feed is presented in a practical control unit which can be controlled through both touch screen and physical joysticks and knobs.

Configurable API

We designed OCU in a way that gives robot programmers as much freedom as possible to make their lives easier when they want to integrate OCU to their robots. Both controller inputs i.e. what data is actually sent and GUI can be customizable to one's needs.

A group of highly motivated individuals

We give utmost importance to gender-equality in our group. We have 50/50 gender distribution which is 31 percent higher than the average USA female software developer occupation.
