The future must leave the screen.

Automated Guided Vehicle

S.L.A.B. is being developed to simplify material movement in warehouses and dark stores. Its next version targets a 20 kg payload and 1,200 mm lifting reach, subject to testing.

  • V2 target payload: 20 kg
  • V2 target lift: 1,200 mm
  • Indoor material handling

Position

Design. Build. Test. Improve.

Simulation helps us explore a design. Physical prototypes show how it behaves under load. We use both to test assumptions, find limitations, and guide the next iteration.

  • DragLoads the motor in ways a frictionless model never sees.
  • BacklashSlack in every gear train delays the output after each reversal.
  • FrictionStick-slip and Coulomb friction break smooth torque curves.
  • LatencyEvery sensor, bus and loop adds delay that a simulator treats as zero.

Programs

Five machines. Each one in motion.

Explore each product’s capabilities, intended uses, and development status.

Studio

Seen from every side.

Explore the project images, then open a view to learn about its intended use and development stage. CAD renders show the design; they are not deployment photographs.

Capabilities

From constraint to concrete.

One team carries a machine from the first sketch to the first field test. Nothing is handed over a wall.

  1. 01

    Concept & system architecture

    We define the task, operating conditions, space, and load requirements before choosing a design.

    • Constraint capture
    • Kinematic models
    • System blueprints
  2. 02

    Co-engineered hardware

    We develop the structure, electronics, and software together around the same operating requirements.

    • Structures & actuation
    • Power & custom PCBs
    • Embedded systems
  3. 03

    Real-time integration

    We bring movement, sensing, and software together so the prototype can be evaluated as a complete system.

    • Firmware
    • Motor drivers
    • Sensor fusion
  4. 04

    Testing & refinement

    We evaluate prototype behavior, document limitations, and use the results to decide what needs to improve.

    • Load testing
    • Terrain trials
    • Reliability data

Team

Two leaders. One standard.

Leadership on every build, from first sketch to field test. The people you brief are the people who build.

Inquiries

Brief us on your machine.

For product inquiries, partnerships, research, investment, or roles with the team, tell us what you want to achieve, where it needs to work, and your timeline.
