Once the machine is in the field, fixing it costs more, takes longer, and happens in front of your customer. We build the systems that think, decide, and act. For NASA. For Teledyne FLIR. For the world’s largest manufacturer and operator of industrial mobile robotics.
A bad web release rolls back in minutes. A bad release on a robot, a drone, or a medical device can mean a truck roll, a recall review, or a program milestone at risk. Our clients measure failure in missed launches, grounded fleets, stalled production lines, and devices pulled from service.
That shapes how we work: how we review, how we test, and when we push back. When a design introduces risk the spec didn’t account for, we say so early, while it’s still cheap to change.
From pilot to production →Defense, aerospace and space. Industry 4.0. Medical technology. AgTech. Software built and tested for the hardware it runs on, and delivered on the schedule the program depends on.
Rover deployment and ground control software for a NASA lunar mission. A safety-critical operator control interface for a bomb-disposal UGV program, delivered on a six-month U.S. Army deadline. Perception and simulation for warehouse robotics at fleet scale.
Strategy. Embedded and real-time. Perception and autonomy. Operator control. One team from architecture through deployment, so nothing gets lost between vendors.
Our entire engineering team is US-based, with no offshore subcontracting. We’re ready for defense and export-controlled programs.
We start by confirming you’re solving the right problem. The most expensive time to find a wrong decision is after the hardware ships.
A principle is only as strong as the methodology that enforces it. The Ground Truth Framework is how we put that principle into practice: five named phases that move from problem definition through to deployed software. Surface. Challenge. Map. Engineer. Execute. Every engagement runs this way, regardless of industry or scope.
Our forward-deployed engineers embed with your team and close the gap to production. One more way to work with us, alongside our standard engagements.
Forward-deployed engineering →We write the software that makes complex systems work. Perception that turns sensor input into something a controller can trust. Autonomy that runs on the device when the cloud isn’t reliable, and operator control for the cases where a human stays in or on the loop. Production code for systems where the constraints are real and the deployment isn’t a sandbox, robots, drones, medical devices, unmanned platforms, and the data pipelines and ML systems that support them.
Think (perception, sensor fusion, edge inference), Decide (on-device autonomy, path planning, behavior systems), and Act (operator control, teleoperation, human-machine teaming). Each capability led by engineers who’ve shipped this work into production, not learned it on yours.
Computer vision and CUDA-accelerated inference engineered to run on NVIDIA Jetson, ROS 2, and embedded Linux. The first capability your robot needs is the one that lets it see and understand the world.
explore Think →
Path planning, behavior trees, and ROS 2-based autonomy stacks for robots, drones, and connected devices. The decision layer between perception and action, running on the device, not in the cloud.
explore Decide →
Operator control software, teleoperation, drone ground control, and on-device execution. The layer where systems perform in the world, autonomously or under operator direction.
explore Act →Sometimes the most important work happens before development begins.
Before budgets are committed and code is written, we help define the right approach. Our Strategic Consulting brings senior engineering judgment to the decisions that shape your system from day one:
The same engineers behind systems for NASA, Teledyne FLIR, and the world’s largest manufacturer and operator of industrial mobile robotics, helping you reduce risk, avoid rework, and move forward with confidence.
Talk to an Engineer →NASA needed high-fidelity training data to help autonomous rovers navigate Mars. That data couldn’t be collected in the real world. So we built physics-based simulations that generate photorealistic terrain imagery with ground truth built in. That technology became Symage.
Today, Symage generates high-fidelity synthetic image, document, and tabular data with deterministic ground truth built directly into the generation process. Not inferred after the fact. The result: pixel-perfect labels, coherent data relationships, and production-grade training data. Eliminate manual labeling, reduce compliance risk, and cover the edge cases reality rarely provides.
The software that lowers three rovers from their lander to the Moon, plus the ground control interface for the multistatic radar they carry.
Deployment happens once, across a link that rules out real-time intervention from Earth. Geisel built both systems CADRE depends on to get its rovers down and put their radar to work.
A tablet controller that lets one operator direct a fleet of bomb-disposal robots and unmanned aircraft, built against a U.S. Army deadline that could not move.
An operator takes control of one UGV, hands it off, and moves to an unmanned aircraft without switching systems. Geisel built the interface, cut video latency, and shipped it in six months.
Scaling and hardening the Farm Manager control software behind ECO 1, a 300,000 square foot hydroponic farm in Dubai.
The crop doesn’t wait. Geisel scaled Crop One’s Farm Manager from a research farm to thousands of pumps, valves, and sensors across more than 20 growth units, polled every 30 seconds.
Autonomous UAVs streaming live video and sensor data to a unified command platform before responders reach the scene.
One interface fusing UAV, camera, and sensor feeds over cellular, with LiDAR-based obstacle avoidance and path planning.
We don’t start with scope. We start with the problem: what you’re trying to build, how to de-risk it, and whether there’s a faster, simpler, or more cost-effective path, before a dollar gets committed to a spec. That’s the rigor of a team that’s built and shipped complex systems, repeatedly.
