PUMA: Autonomous Wheeled Quadruped Integration
Working alongside an international robotics integration partner, we developed a unified, extensible ROS 2 software stack for a wheeled quadruped platform. The goal was to move beyond isolated teleoperation and build a scalable foundation for autonomy, fleet integration, and inspection-ready functionality.
Scope of Work
- ROS 2-based stack for unified robot control
- Fleet and fleet-management system integration
- Onboard compute integration
- Autonomous functions beyond teleoperation
- PTZ camera control: rotation, zoom & infrared
- End-to-end hardware & software integration
Key Features Delivered
- Unified ROS 2 interface for robot-level control
- Autonomous charging capability
- Guided teleoperation with obstacle avoidance
- PTZ + IR camera payload for inspection
- Extensible architecture for future modules
Outcome
The quadruped arrived as a teleoperated platform and left as a field-ready inspection robot: a unified ROS 2 stack, autonomous charging, guided obstacle avoidance, and a PTZ/IR camera payload, all built on top of hardware we didn't design ourselves.
