It depends on the hardware — here's the honest answer
We get asked this fairly often. Someone already has autonomous hardware on site — a robot, a vehicle, a platform — and wants to know if we can train it or deploy it rather than source new hardware through us.
The short answer: sometimes yes, but it requires a proper assessment before we can commit to anything.
What makes integration with existing hardware possible
Our simulation-first methodology is hardware-agnostic at the software level — we build the environment model and train behaviors in NVIDIA Isaac Sim. Whether a trained model can be deployed to your specific hardware depends on:
Sensor compatibility — the hardware needs LiDAR, cameras, and/or thermal sensors that can feed data to the navigation and perception stack
Compute capability — the onboard computer needs to be capable of running the inference workloads (NVIDIA Jetson-class or equivalent is the typical baseline)
Software accessibility — we need to be able to deploy our software layer onto the platform; proprietary locked systems that don't allow third-party software integration won't work
ROS2 or compatible framework support — our stack is built around standard robotics frameworks; hardware that supports ROS2 integration is the cleanest path
What we typically cannot work with
Hardware with fully locked firmware that doesn't permit software deployment
Vehicles or equipment not designed for autonomous operation (no sensor mounts, no onboard compute)
Agricultural, construction, or industrial vehicles without robotics-grade sensor suites already fitted
Drone or aerial platforms — outside our scope entirely
What you should bring to the conversation
If you want to explore whether we can work with your existing hardware, here's what we'll need to assess:
The hardware make, model, and specification sheet
What sensors are already fitted (or what you're willing to add)
What the onboard computer is and whether it's accessible for software deployment
What you need the hardware to do autonomously
Bring those details to a call and we'll give you a straight assessment of whether it's feasible and what it would involve. We don't take on integrations we can't deliver.
