Custom Robotics Product Development

Robotics Engineering Services for the Real World

From medical and commercial systems to demanding defense applications, Boston Engineering brings multidisciplinary expertise together to develop reliable, integrated robotic solutions.

Discuss Your Robotics Project

Develop a Robotic System Around Your Application

Boston Engineering provides custom robotics product development for organizations creating a new robotic product, automating a complex task, or improving an existing system. We work across medical, commercial, and defense applications, bringing together mechanical, electrical, embedded software, sensing, controls, and automation expertise.

If the technology does not yet exist, we develop it. If a prototype is not working as intended, we help determine why. And when a promising concept needs a path to market, we engineer the system, complete the verification and validation, and manufacturing transfer required to move it forward.

Custom Robotics for Complex Tasks and Environments

Lab and Research Automation

We develop laboratory and diagnostic systems that turn complex scientific processes into precise, repeatable workflows. We integrate robotic motion, fluidics, sensing, instruments, consumables, controls, software, and data connections around the performance, throughput, and manufacturability requirements of the application.

Autonomous Commercial and Field Robotics

We help organizations create autonomous and assistive robotic systems for demanding field environments. Whether advancing a new platform, adding capability to existing equipment, or moving a prototype toward deployment, we help teams combine the hardware, firmware, software, sensing, and controls required for reliable operation beyond the lab.

Defense and Maritime Robotics

We develop unmanned and autonomous vehicle platforms for missions where direct human involvement is dangerous, impractical, or limited by the operating environment. From underwater inspection and detection to shipyard support and remote operations, we integrate mechanical systems, embedded electronics, controls, sensing, communications, and mission software into dependable robotic platforms.

Common Questions about Custom Robotics Development

Who can help us design and develop a custom robotic system?

We support custom robotics development for commercial, medical, and defense applications. Our multidisciplinary teams can help with requirements and feasibility, hardware and software development, controls, system integration, testing, and manufacturing transfer. Engagements can address a specific technical challenge or a broader product program.

Can Boston Engineering help develop robotics for our manufacturing process?

We can help evaluate the task and develop the robotic functionality, controls, and integration it requires. The starting point is your workflow, including the materials handled, required precision, operating environment, and existing equipment. Those requirements guide the assessment of custom development and available components.

Can you work with an existing robot or prototype?

Yes. We can help add capabilities, resolve integration challenges, or advance an existing prototype. Work may focus on motion control, sensing, embedded software, communications, or the coordination of multiple subsystems. The scope depends on what you have already developed and what the system needs to do next.

Do you use ROS2 for robotic system integration?

We use Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2) as a framework for robotics software development and integration. Where it fits the application, ROS2 can support communication between software and hardware components. Framework selection should follow the system’s performance, communications, and integration requirements.

How do you approach robotics safety and reliability?

We consider the intended environment, interaction with people, performance requirements, and failure risks during development. Those factors guide design, integration, and verification and validation activities. The testing scope and applicable requirements depend on the application and intended use.

How long does a custom robotics project take and what does it cost?

Scope, technical maturity, integration complexity, testing requirements, and production goals determine the schedule and budget. A focused subsystem project has different needs from a new platform. Share your current development stage and target milestones so we can discuss the engineering work needed and a realistic project scope.
