Four things
- The question you want answered.
- What exists already: a design, a prototype, data or nothing.
- What you can measure.
- Who will use the result.
Rough notes are fine. We ask for anything that is missing.
R&D projects, built to order
Robotics R&D, built to order
Airoot builds research and development projects to order for companies, startups and university labs in India. A research question becomes a proof of concept, then a prototype, then a test rig that gives repeatable readings. Send the question, what exists already, what you can measure and who will use the result.
What we deliver
From a question to repeatable readings
PoC
Proof of concept
A rough working version that shows whether the idea can work at all, before anyone commits to a full build.
PROTO
Prototype
A refined build with real electronics and mechanics, made to be measured rather than admired.
RIG
Test rig
A rig that holds the prototype and records what it does, so the same test can be run again and compared.
LAB
University and industry R&D
Support for research labs and industry teams that need hardware for an experiment.
Our own research
Platforms we have built
These are Airoot research platforms, each at its real stage. Open one for the details. Two flagship platforms are also in R&D; they are shown only against a signed non-disclosure agreement.
Mechanized Titan
A four-legged research platform: a simulation model and a built prototype that crawls.
Legged research platform →PAW
A compact platform that balances on two wheels, demonstrated on flat surfaces.
Self-balancing platform →OmniDrive
A mobile base that moves in any direction, with a modular payload deck.
Omnidirectional base →Vision-Swerve
A base with four steered wheel modules; chassis, drive electronics and camera integration under way.
Swerve drive base →TERRA-Nav
A tracked platform for rough ground; navigation proven in simulation, outdoor tests next.
Tracked outdoor platform →Your requirement
What to send for an R&D enquiry
Email or use the form
Write to airoot.infinity.orders@gmail.com, open the form, or start an email with the four points ready to fill in.
Prices are on request. The reply is a quote or a scoping call.
How a project runs
Frame it, prove it, measure it
- 01
Frame the question
We turn your question into something that can be built and measured, and agree what a useful answer looks like.
- 02
Proof of concept
A quick build shows whether the idea can work, so you spend on the full prototype only when it can.
- 03
Prototype and test rig
The prototype goes into a test rig that records its behaviour, so results can be repeated and compared.
- 04
Report and handover
You receive the hardware, the data, the source files and a written account of what the tests showed.
Questions
Common questions
What is the difference between consultancy and R&D?
Consultancy delivers a defined thing to your requirement. R&D starts from a question where the answer is not known yet, and delivers a proof of concept, a prototype or a test rig along with what the tests showed.
Do you work with university labs and industry teams?
Yes. Send the research question, what exists already, what you can measure and who will use the result.
What research platforms has Airoot built?
Five are public: Mechanized Titan (a legged platform), PAW (a self-balancing platform), OmniDrive (an omnidirectional mecanum base), Vision-Swerve (a swerve drive base) and TERRA-Nav (a tracked outdoor platform). Each has its own page that states its stage. Two flagship platforms are also in R&D and are shown only against a signed non-disclosure agreement.
Can I build on one of the platforms?
The platforms are research prototypes. Describe what you need and we say whether an existing platform fits or a new build is the better route.
What do I get at the end of an R&D project?
The hardware, the test data, the source files and a written account of what the tests showed.
How is R&D work priced?
The proposal sets deliverables and a price once the question is framed. Prices are on request.
