Robotics software development services
Robotics software development on ROS 2: perception, localisation and navigation, motion planning, robot control, industrial robot cells, autonomous vehicles, simulation and fleet software for warehouse and logistics robots, manufacturing, agricultural machinery, service and cleaning robots, inspection robots and laboratory automation, with dedicated robotics engineers for your team or projects delivered end to end.
Robotics software we build
ROS 2 systems
Nodes, interfaces and launch configuration on current ROS 2 long-term-support releases, quality-of-service settings chosen per topic, and every test run recorded in MCAP so a failure can be replayed.
Perception
Lidar, depth camera and camera pipelines in OpenCV and PCL, models served through ONNX Runtime or TensorRT on NVIDIA Jetson, and sensor calibration that is scripted and repeatable rather than done once by hand.
Localisation and navigation
SLAM, sensor fusion and Nav2 behaviour trees for mobile robots in warehouses, factories and fields, tuned on recorded data before a robot moves through a space shared with people.
Motion planning and manipulation
MoveIt 2 for arms and collaborative robots, grasp planning and vision-guided picking and placing, with every trajectory checked for collisions in simulation before it runs on the arm.
Industrial robot cells
Cells built around ABB, KUKA, FANUC and Universal Robots arms, programmed in RAPID, KRL or URScript or driven through ROS 2, and connected to Siemens and other PLCs over PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or OPC UA.
Robot control and hardware integration
ros2_control hardware interfaces and real-time control loops, EtherCAT and CANopen motor drives, and micro-ROS on the microcontrollers that drive motors and read sensors.
Autonomous vehicles and driver assistance
Autoware and custom ROS 2 stacks for autonomous shuttles, yard tractors and agricultural machines, and fusion of camera, radar and lidar data for driver-assistance features.
Simulation and robot learning
Gazebo or NVIDIA Isaac Sim worlds that run in the pipeline, scenario tests a build must pass before it reaches a physical robot, and policies trained with reinforcement or imitation learning in Isaac Lab or LeRobot.
Robot fleets and operator interfaces
Task allocation and traffic management through Open-RMF or VDA 5050, remote monitoring, and the web or tablet screens operators use, connected to your warehouse management system, MES or ERP.
Hire robotics engineers
Dedicated robotics engineers
Robotics engineers who join your team full time, work in your tools and process, and report to your lead. You interview them; we carry the Ukrainian contract, payroll, invoicing and leave.
Robotics software projects
A defined piece of robotics software with a scope, a fixed plan and a named lead on our side who owns the result and reports progress in your channels.
Ongoing robotics software
Robotics software as a continuing service: the same people every month, a backlog you prioritise, and hours you can see in our portal and on the invoice.
The dedicated team page explains how specialists join your team, and the outsourcing page covers project delivery, take-overs and how we charge.

How we work on robotics software
Protective functions belong to safety-rated hardware: safety controllers, laser scanners and emergency stops. Our software works inside the safety concept that you or your integrator own under ISO 10218 or ISO 3691-4, never as the only layer between a robot and a person, and it is still held to strict rules: typed interfaces, warnings as errors, simulation tests on every change, and nothing deployed to a robot that has not passed its scenarios.
Most of the work happens in simulation and on recorded data, so engineers are productive away from the robot. Time on the physical machine, in your facility or remotely with someone on site, is planned for what only the robot can show.

Questions about robotics software
Can you move our robot from ROS 1 to ROS 2?
Yes. ROS 1 reached end of life with Noetic in May 2025, so we migrate rather than extend it: packages move to ROS 2 one subsystem at a time, a bridge carries messages between the two while the migration runs, and each step is tested in simulation before it reaches the robot.
Which robots and sensors can you work with?
Mobile bases, industrial arms from ABB, KUKA, FANUC and Universal Robots, collaborative robots, NVIDIA Jetson and x86 compute, and the sensors they share: lidar, radar, depth cameras, IMUs and wheel encoders. For hardware without a ROS 2 driver, we write one against the vendor’s SDK or protocol.
Which industries do your robotics engineers work in?
Logistics and warehousing, in mobile robots, picking and palletising; manufacturing, in welding, assembly, machine tending and quality inspection cells; agriculture, in autonomous tractors, harvesting and weeding; automotive, in autonomous driving and driver assistance; healthcare and laboratories, in lab automation and hospital delivery robots; and service robotics, in cleaning, delivery and the inspection of tanks, pipes and plants.
How quickly can robotics engineers start?
When the right robotics engineer is available, the start is gated only by your interview and the NDA and IP assignment. Otherwise we run a search, which typically produces candidate profiles within two to three weeks, and nobody starts until you have said yes.
How do we hire robotics engineers through BigTree108?
Tell us the work, the seniority and the hours you need. We propose one or two people with their profiles, you interview them the way you would interview your own hire, and you sign one agreement with BIG TREE 108 LLC and receive one invoice a month.
Who owns the work they produce?
You do. Every specialist has a signed contract with BigTree108 that assigns all work product to the company, and our agreement with you assigns it onward. Code, designs and documents are delivered into your own repositories and tools, not kept where only we can change them.
Building a robot or a robot cell?
Tell us what the robot does, where it works and what it runs today. You get an answer within one business day: a plan for the software, candidate profiles, or a review of the existing stack.
