Your Fleet.
Fully Autonomous.
ODE Robots is the Robotics OS for operators who deploy physical hardware at scale. Fleet orchestration, autonomous navigation, sensor fusion, predictive maintenance, and safety compliance — unified in one platform.
The Cost of Manual Fleet Operations
Every unplanned downtime event costs more than a month of ODE Robots.
Industrial facilities running manual or semi-autonomous fleets spend 30–40% of robot operator time on coordination tasks that software should handle. Unplanned maintenance costs 5× more than scheduled maintenance. And most fleets have no visibility into what their robots are doing between shift reports.

What ODE Robots Does
Seven Capabilities. One Platform.
From autonomous navigation to predictive maintenance — everything your fleet needs to operate without human intervention.
Fleet Orchestration
Coordinate · Dispatch · Monitor
Command hundreds of robots from a single control plane. Assign missions, route around obstacles, balance workloads across units, and escalate anomalies to human operators — all in real time.
Autonomous Navigation
SLAM · Path Planning · Obstacle Avoidance
RT-DETR vision with depth estimation powers real-time obstacle detection, semantic mapping, and dynamic path re-planning. Robots navigate environments that change without retraining.
Sensor Fusion
Camera · LiDAR · IMU · Ultrasonic
Multi-modal sensor pipelines combine RGB camera, LiDAR, IMU, and ultrasonic data into a unified world model. Each robot maintains a live situational awareness layer independent of connectivity.
Predictive Maintenance
Vibration · Thermal · Runtime Anomaly
Motor wear, battery degradation, drive-train anomalies, and thermal stress are detected before they cause downtime. Maintenance windows are scheduled automatically based on real telemetry.
Task Scheduling
Priority · Dependency · Deadline
A constraint-aware scheduler assigns tasks to the most capable available unit, respects dependencies between mission steps, and meets delivery deadlines without overloading any single robot.
Safety Compliance
E-Stop · Zone Enforcement · Audit Log
Geo-fenced exclusion zones, remote e-stop, speed governors, and human-proximity detection are enforced at the firmware layer — not the application layer. Cannot be overridden by software.
Multi-Robot Coordination
Swarm · Formation · Handoff
Collaborative mission execution: one robot picks, another transports, a third loads. Handoff protocols are deterministic and auditable. Swarm formations adapt to real-time fleet availability.
The Workflow
How It Works
From hardware to fully autonomous operation in three steps.
Step 01
Deploy & Register
Flash the ODE Robots OS onto any ROS 2-compatible hardware. The robot auto-registers with your fleet controller, uploads its sensor manifest, and receives its first mission within minutes.
Step 02
Orchestrate & Dispatch
The fleet controller assigns tasks, monitors telemetry, and re-routes robots in real time as conditions change. Every decision is logged with the reasoning that produced it.
Step 03
Monitor & Maintain
Live dashboards surface fleet health, mission progress, anomaly alerts, and maintenance forecasts. Predictive maintenance triggers work orders before downtime occurs.
Technology Stack
Vision
RT-DETR object detection with depth estimation. Real-time at 30+ FPS on edge hardware.
Navigation
SLAM-based mapping with dynamic re-planning. Works in GPS-denied environments.
Integration
ROS 2 native. REST API and WebSocket event stream for WMS/ERP connectivity.
Deployment
On-premises fleet controller. No cloud dependency required for autonomous operation.

Hardware-Agnostic
ODE Robots runs on any ROS 2 compatible hardware. Clearpath, AgileX, Unitree, or custom-built — the OS is the constant. Your hardware investment is never locked to a vendor platform.
On-Premises Fleet Controller
The fleet controller runs inside your network. Robot telemetry, video streams, mission logs, and sensor data never leave your infrastructure. Full data sovereignty by architecture.
Complete Mission Audit Trail
Every mission, every task assignment, every handoff, every safety event, and every maintenance alert is logged with full provenance — robot ID, timestamp, sensor state, and decision context.
