Pioneering Practical Innovation
At 90° ROBOTICS, our technology strategy is built on a foundation of integrating cutting-edge advancements with practical, real-world applications. We focus on developing robust, intelligent, and secure systems that are both accessible and transformative. Our approach emphasizes modularity, allowing for iterative development and adaptation to emerging needs.
We leverage a diverse range of technologies, from advanced AI and machine learning for intelligent decision-making, to sophisticated sensor fusion for environmental awareness, and robust mechatronics for reliable physical interaction. Every component and system is designed with our security-first principle, ensuring that our creations are not only smart but also safe and trustworthy, especially as we aim to meet demanding standards, including those for potential defense applications.
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
The intelligence of our platforms, including the 90° Core AI, is driven by sophisticated AI and machine learning algorithms. This enables our robots to perceive, understand, and interact with their environment in meaningful ways.
Key Applications:
- Computer Vision: Powering object recognition in SR1, item identification for the conceptual Smart Cart, and environmental understanding for AURA.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Enabling intuitive voice and text interactions, particularly crucial for AURA and the 90° Core AI.
- Autonomous Navigation: Path planning, obstacle avoidance, and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) are essential for the mobility of WagonBot, Smart Cart, and SR1.
- Adaptive Learning: Our systems, especially the 90° Core AI, are designed to learn from interactions and user preferences to personalize experiences and improve performance over time.
Robotics, Mechatronics & Control
The physical capabilities of our robots are a testament to our expertise in mechatronics engineering and advanced control systems. We design for durability, efficiency, and precision.
Core Components:
- Self-Balancing Systems: A key feature of WagonBot, ensuring stability and maneuverability even with heavy loads.
- Actuation & Drivetrains: Custom-designed motor control for smooth and powerful movement in platforms like WagonBot and SR1.
- Modular Hardware Design: Emphasized in SR1 and our future Educational Robotics Kit, allowing for flexibility, upgrades, and easier maintenance.
- Sensor Integration & Fusion: Combining data from various sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMUs, ultrasonic) to create a comprehensive understanding of the robot's surroundings and state. This is vital for all our mobile platforms.
Software Architecture & IoT
Our 90° Core AI platform exemplifies our approach to software: creating a robust, scalable, and interconnected ecosystem. We leverage modern software practices to build reliable and user-friendly applications.
Key Aspects:
