Custom robot programs

Need more than a standard robot?

For large deployments, Kinatric can design the robot around your application. Some applications cannot be solved by adding a sensor to an off-the-shelf robot. For customers that need significant quantities, we can develop a robotic platform around the payload, environment, endurance, communications, autonomy, and operating requirements of the deployment.

Three custom quadruped platform variants under development

Built around your mission

We design the complete platform

From structure and movement to the information layer, each system is designed as one deployable machine.

01 / 07

Mechanical System

Robot size, structure, legs, wheels, payload mounting, enclosure, environmental protection, and application-specific mechanics.

02 / 07

Motion System

Actuators, gearing, motor control, reinforcement-learning locomotion, terrain behavior, speed, and payload requirements.

03 / 07

Power

Battery architecture, runtime, charging, power distribution, and unattended charging systems.

04 / 07

Compute

Edge AI computers, NVIDIA Jetson platforms, Raspberry Pi, x86, specialized accelerators, or selected compute.

05 / 07

Sensors

Visible and thermal cameras, LiDAR, depth, audio, gas, acoustic, environmental, or specialized sensing.

06 / 07

Communications

Wi-Fi, Ethernet, 4G/5G, private cellular, RF, satellite, or customer-specific networking.

07 / 07

Autonomy

SLAM, navigation, obstacle avoidance, patrol behavior, return-to-charge, teleoperation, and software integration.

PRODUCTION

Manufacturing

Design for manufacture, supply chain, assembly, testing, quality control, serviceability, and production scaling.

Large deployments

Designed for customers who need more than a few robots

Custom development makes the most sense when the deployment is large enough to justify designing around the application. Kinatric focuses its custom engineering resources on customers with substantial anticipated robot volumes.

If your deployment could require dozens, hundreds, or more robots, we want to understand the application.

Large fleet of compact quadruped robots deployed across an industrial site

From requirement to production

One team from concept through production

A disciplined path from operating requirements to repeatable field deployment.

01

Define

Environment, use case, fleet size, payload, performance, autonomy, communications, and cost targets.

02

Design

Mechanical architecture, electrical systems, sensors, power, compute, communications, and charging.

03

Prototype

Build engineering systems and validate the robot in representative conditions.

04

Test

Reliability, environment, locomotion, payload operation, charging, and field use.

05

Produce

Move the validated design into repeatable assembly and quality-control processes.

06

Deploy

Support customer integration and scaling into the target fleet.

Smart integration

Build what matters. Integrate what already works.

A successful robot does not require reinventing every component. Kinatric can combine our mobility platform and motion technology with proven cameras, compute modules, sensors, communications hardware, and third-party software when those technologies are the best fit.

The objective is not to maximize the number of proprietary components. It is to create the best robotic system for the customer's application.

Quadruped robots using unattended industrial charging docks

Self charging

Robots should not need someone standing by with a charger

For unattended deployments, Kinatric can incorporate automatic docking and charging so robots can repeatedly perform missions without manual charging between runs.

Designed and assembled in the U.S.

Built close to the customer

Kinatric is a U.S. corporation, and our D2 robotic platforms are designed and assembled in the United States. For custom large-volume programs, working directly with the company designing the robot makes it possible to optimize the platform around the deployment rather than force the deployment around an existing robot.
