Robot design and customization

IpsumTek robotics and AI specialists create and adapt intelligent mobile robots, from early concept and prototype validation to industrialization support and real-world testing.

Our skill: mobile robotics

Engineering services around mobile robotics

With more than a decade of industrial and service robotics experience, IpsumTek brings practical engineering support to projects that need a custom robot, a platform adaptation, or a lower-risk development path.

Expertise

Project constraints, environments, users, and technical paths are analyzed before the solution is defined.

Your own robot

Create a robot from specifications or adapt an existing platform for new dimensions, functions, or uses.

Cost, time, and risk

Reuse tested modules and building blocks to reduce development time, technical risk, and unnecessary reinvention.

Support

Bring robotics experience into design choices, prototypes, tests, and industrialization work.

What we propose

A path from idea to production readiness

Each phase is shaped around the maturity of the project: defining the user need, proving the concept, preparing the product, and building the test process needed for production.

  1. Design thinking

    Clarify users, constraints, environment, and the technical route before committing resources.

  2. Prototypes

    Build only what is needed to prove feasibility, risks, and operator value.

  3. Product

    Turn the validated concept into a robust platform architecture ready for industrialization.

  4. Test

    Define repeatable validation steps for performance, safety, and production readiness.

Areas of expertise

Condensed capabilities for real mobile robotics

IpsumTek combines the disciplines that normally slow down robotics projects when they are split between too many disconnected providers.

Mobile robotics and mechatronics

Service robots, industrial robotics, mechatronics, electronics, embedded software, mechanical integration, and platform adaptation.

Sensing and perception

LIDARs, depth cameras, RGB cameras, anti-cliff sensors, ultrasonic sensors, bumpers, obstacle avoidance, and computer vision.

Localization and autonomy

JACK-SLAM positioning, classic LIDAR SLAM, autonomous exploration, obstacle-aware navigation, docking, state machines, and ROS2 architecture.

AI and human interaction

Deep learning, people tracking, object detection, semantic segmentation, decision AI, generative AI, touchscreens, voice, facial recognition, gestures, and tag detection.

Industrialization and certification

EVT, DVT, and PVT support, certification preparation, production-phase support, DFMA documents, test tools, quality control, and production partner coordination.

Why IpsumTek is different

Specialized robotics engineering, not generic design work

IpsumTek is focused on mobile robotics. Existing tested modules, practical experience with navigation pitfalls, and multidisciplinary engineering autonomy help shorten lead times while protecting quality.

The team also uses a dedicated robot test room for service robots. It reproduces difficult real-world conditions such as slopes, narrow doors, glass walls, mirrors, thick carpet, wet areas, device bases, thin legs, railings, stairs, direct sunlight, mobile objects, and electromagnetic disturbance sources.

SpecializedFocused mobile robotics expertise instead of broad generic design.
ModularExisting tested modules reduce cost, lead time, and risk.
PracticalKnown navigation pitfalls are handled before deployment.
IntegratedElectronics, CAD, software, AI, and testing stay connected.

FAQ

Engineering questions clients ask first

What is your most frequent request?

Most specific designs start from the proven YGGY-540 platform and adapt its dimensions, functions, or customer top module. IpsumTek also handles from-scratch developments for very specific applications and adapts JACK-SLAM positioning software to existing robots.

Who are your clients?

IpsumTek works with companies whose core skill is not robotics, or companies without internal robot design teams that want to enter the robotics market with their own application knowledge.

Clients range from startups to major companies worldwide, including teams building applications such as robot servers for restaurants or security patrol robots.

What will I have at the end of your work?

Depending on the project scope, deliverables can include prototypes, pre-series units, hardware products, test tools, and a complete DFMA file with drawings, BOM, source code developed for the client, and assembly processes needed to reproduce the robot.

Will there be royalties to be paid on each robot manufactured?

It depends on whether licensed products are used in the robot design. This is always agreed with the client. Licensed products can accelerate prototyping, while industrialization can reduce cost.

For IpsumTek products, JACK-SLAM is licensed software. The YGGY vehicle is free of rights, while its source code remains IpsumTek property.

Will my robot be certified and comply with standards?

Yes. IpsumTek can support certification through an approved laboratory so the product complies with the standards required in the target country or region.

In Europe, for example, CE marking is mandatory for products used in the European Union. Certification has a cost and can be included in the financial offer.

Are you a manufacturer or a design company?

IpsumTek's core business is robot development. Mass production is not the core business, but IpsumTek can guide clients toward suitable production partners.

The team can support the project up to the PVT phase, with corrective actions carried out alongside the production plant when needed.
