ROS 2 and DDS
Nodes, topics, message rates, QoS, timing, process boundaries, and communication risks.
Architecture review
Current-system map, interfaces, ownership boundaries, and the proposed change path.
Robotics and edge AI engineering
Find the real bottleneck before the next field test.
We help robotics teams separate hardware, middleware, inference, perception, control, and integration problems, then produce a bounded technical path to the next test.
ROS 2Topics, rates, DDS, and timing
EdgeLocal model and compute fit
SenseCamera, LiDAR, and fusion
FieldLogging, recovery, and test readiness
Work scope
Review the complete path from sensor to action.
NVIDIA and edge sizing
Model, precision, latency, memory, power, thermal, and deployment tradeoffs.
Camera, LiDAR, and sensors
Data paths, synchronization, calibration, fusion, and logging requirements.
Local model integration
Loader, runtime, preprocessing, postprocessing, benchmarking, and fallback paths.
Deterministic boundaries
Separate probabilistic perception from safety, control, recovery, and operator authority.
Field-test readiness
Telemetry, fault injection, rollback, acceptance criteria, and a test checklist.
Deliverables
A technical decision package, not a list of possibilities.
Bottleneck analysis
Evidence separating compute, data, timing, networking, model, and control constraints.
Compute and integration plan
Hardware, runtime, model, interfaces, and staged implementation recommendation.
Risk and test package
Known risks, prototype code where appropriate, telemetry requirements, and field-test checklist.
Operating rule
Field work needs a defined rollback path.
Hazards first
Identify physical, operational, data, and access hazards before connecting a new model or control path.
Observe before acting
Logging and shadow-mode evaluation should establish behavior before autonomous authority increases.
Human authority
Operator control, stop conditions, recovery, and escalation remain explicit during prototype testing.
Measured claims
Latency, throughput, accuracy, thermal behavior, and reliability claims belong to the tested configuration.
Start here
Bring the architecture, logs, and the next test you need to pass.
A founder-led review starts at $350. We use it to identify the actual engineering question and quote a fixed sprint only when the boundary is clear.
