UTPAL ROBOTICS

Projects

Machines built to find out.

Platforms we build to work through problems properly — legged robots, ground vehicles, aircraft and the occasional machine that exists only because someone wanted to know whether it would work.

Descriptions here are kept broad on purpose. These are working platforms rather than finished products, and we would rather say less than claim more than a machine has actually done.

Legged robotics

Quadruped Platform

A four-legged machine used to work through actuation, gait and balance — and to give the control problem a physical body to fail against.

Ground systems

Rover with Manipulator

A wheeled platform carrying an arm, built around uneven ground: suspension, traction and picking things up once it arrives.

Fixed-wing hybrid drone in flight, seen from below against bare winter trees.

Drone systems

Aerial Platforms

Quadcopters built for flight outside controlled conditions — airframe, tuning and stable flight in open terrain.

Legged robotics

Hexapod Walker

A six-legged robot for gait generation and coordinating a large number of joints through a single controller.

Robot swarm: a line of identical multi-legged robots moving in formation.

Multi-robot systems

Swarm Behaviour

Work on several machines acting together: communication between units, formation keeping and shared state.

Drone systems

FPV Systems

First-person-view airframes — the video link, the latency and the flying itself, which is its own engineering problem.

Engineering

Something like this, for you.

Prototypes, custom machines and one-off platforms — if it needs to exist, describe it and we will tell you what it takes.
