Robotics Engineering & Autonomous Systems

YantriX builds robotics systems that ship — from ROS 2 architecture and motion planning to the mechanical chassis and electronics that put the robot on the floor. Working from our engineering studio in India, we partner with hardware companies, research labs, and automation teams globally.

Robotics development services in India — YantriX studio working on ROS 2 mobile robot

What we do

Practical support for targeted engineering work

We deliver robotics engineering services in India across mechanical, mechatronic, embedded control, ROS 2, and perception workstreams based on project scope: ROS 2 system architecture (Humble / Jazzy), Nav2 autonomous navigation with LiDAR / visual SLAM, MoveIt arm manipulation and grasp planning, custom AGV / AMR mechanical design with skid-steer or differential drive, drive-train selection and motor sizing, ESP32 / Jetson embedded controller integration, vision-guided perception pipelines, and mechatronic integration across mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems. Engagements run from focused subsystem work (e.g. SLAM tuning on an existing platform) through ground-up custom robot programs. We deliver source code, simulation environments (Gazebo / Isaac Sim), commissioning support, and engineering documentation the client team can own.

What problems we solve

  • Reduce integration risk between mechanics, electronics, and ROS 2 software — the place where most robotics programs stall.
  • Move from concept robotics ideas to credible prototype direction with realistic timeline and budget.
  • Build custom AGVs / AMRs / robotic arms when off-the-shelf platforms don't fit the application or the budget.
  • Tune Nav2 and SLAM on existing robotics platforms for reliable autonomous navigation in real operating environments.
  • Integrate computer vision and applied AI into ROS 2 pipelines for real-time robotic perception and action.

Tools we use

  • ROS 2 Humble / Jazzy — core robotics framework
  • Nav2 — autonomous navigation stack
  • MoveIt 2 — robotic arm motion planning and manipulation
  • Gazebo, Ignition, NVIDIA Isaac Sim — simulation environments
  • Foxglove, RViz — visualization and debugging
  • NVIDIA Jetson (Nano, Orin Nano, Orin AGX) — onboard compute
  • ESP32, ESP32-S3, STM32 — embedded controllers
  • SolidWorks, Fusion 360 — mechanical chassis design
  • KiCad, Altium — custom PCB design for motor controllers and sensor breakouts
  • Intel RealSense, ZED 2i, OAK-D — depth and stereo cameras
  • Velodyne, RPLidar, Slamtec — LiDAR sensors

Deliverables

  • ROS 2 software stack with documented architecture and dependency tree
  • Mechanical chassis design — STEP files, 2D drawings, BOM, vendor recommendations
  • Embedded controller firmware (ESP32 / Jetson) with documented communication protocols
  • Custom PCB designs and fabrication packages for motor controllers, sensor breakouts, power distribution
  • Simulation environment in Gazebo / Isaac Sim for offline testing and CI
  • Commissioning support — remote or on-site — to bring the robot online
  • Engineering documentation and operator manual

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they engage

Common questions teams ask before starting a project.

What robotics development services does YantriX provide?

Robotics development spanning mechanical design, mechatronics, ROS 2 system architecture, Nav2 navigation, MoveIt manipulation, AGV / AMR design, robotic arm design, ESP32 / Jetson embedded firmware, computer vision integration, and Gazebo / Isaac Sim simulation environments. We engage on multi-disciplinary robotics programs or focused subsystem work depending on client needs.

Can you build a custom AGV or AMR for our facility?

Yes — custom AMR / AGV builds are a recurring project type. We've delivered 80 kg payload AMRs with skid-steer drive, Nav2 navigation, and LiDAR SLAM. Scope includes mechanical chassis, drive-train, embedded electronics, ROS 2 software, and commissioning support.

Do you work with existing robotics platforms or only ground-up builds?

Both. Many engagements involve tuning, extending, or integrating with existing platforms — Universal Robots arms, Clearpath platforms, and custom client hardware. Subsystem work (SLAM tuning, perception integration, MoveIt configuration) is just as common as ground-up builds.

How much does robotics development cost in India?

Scope-dependent: Subsystem work (e.g. SLAM tuning, perception pipeline integration) typically runs ₹4-12 lakh. Custom AMR programs land in the ₹15-50 lakh range depending on complexity and payload. Robotic arm design programs (mechanical + ROS 2) typically ₹8-25 lakh. We quote fixed-scope projects after technical scoping.

What ROS 2 versions do you work with?

Primarily ROS 2 Humble (LTS) for production deployments and ROS 2 Jazzy (current LTS) for new programs. We can also support ROS 1 Noetic for legacy systems with recommended migration paths.

Do you support remote commissioning?

Remote commissioning and integration support can be coordinated where included in project scope. On-site requirements can be discussed individually based on the project and location.

Can you sign NDA for confidential robotics work?

Yes. An NDA can be coordinated before confidential CAD/IP exchange where required. We can review your template or provide ours upon request.
