Your robotics software team, without the hiring cycle.
Habil builds, migrates, tests and maintains ROS 2 software for robot makers. Bring us in for one fixed-price project or a dedicated engineering pod staffed by top-tier robotics engineers who work in your hours.
Start with one of five engagements.
Each has a fixed scope and a clear deliverable. If it works, it continues as a small monthly service rather than a large contract.
ROS 2 migration and upgrades
Move off ROS 1, or upgrade from ROS 2 Humble before its May 2027 end of life, with tests and CI included.
Starts with a 2-week assessmentEngineering pods
Three ROS 2 engineers and a part-time senior lead working inside your roadmap, on your tools.
Monthly, 6-month minimumSimulation and testing
A digital twin of your robot, simulation tests in CI, and field failures turned into repeatable test cases.
4–6 weeks to startDrivers and integrations
ROS 2 drivers for new hardware, and VDA 5050 adapters so multi-vendor fleet managers can run your AMRs.
2–8 weeks, fixed priceSecurity and compliance
SBOM, vulnerability handling and hardening for your ROS stack, ready for customer security reviews and regulations.
3–6 weeks, fixed priceStarting prices are indicative. We confirm scope and a fixed quote after the first call.
The work your team can't get to.
Most robot makers have a roadmap full of features and a backlog full of everything else. We take the everything else.
Platform upkeep
ROS 2 migrations and upgrades, networking fixes, porting to new compute.
New capabilities
Drivers, navigation, manipulation, perception and operator interfaces.
Testing
Digital twins, simulation regression in CI and hardware-in-the-loop rigs.
AI and data
Turning robot logs into training datasets, fine-tuning and on-robot optimization.
Security and compliance
SBOMs, vulnerability handling, hardening and evidence for customer and regulatory reviews.
Maintenance
Sustaining engineering and release pipelines, so shipped software stays healthy.
How an engagement runs.
Assess
Two weeks inside your codebase. You get a written report, a risk list and a fixed quote for the work.
Build
We migrate, adapt or test against an agreed scope, with every change reviewed by a senior engineer and delivered through your CI.
Keep current
A monthly service keeps your stack patched, upgraded and monitored, so the work doesn't decay after handover.
What you can hold us to.
Commitments written into every contract, not marketing claims.
Who we work with.
Robot makers with more roadmap than engineers, and the suppliers who want to be designed into their robots.
AMR and warehouse robots
Interoperability, legacy ROS 1 stacks and scaling to new sites.
Humanoids and mobile manipulators
Simulation, testing and data pipelines for fast-moving teams.
Field robots
Agriculture, construction and inspection robots that fail in harsh conditions.
Drones and uncrewed systems
ROS 2 and PX4 integration and simulation testing for commercial programs.
Component makers
Sensor, actuator and gripper makers who need ROS 2 drivers and simulation models.
Now taking design partners.
We're working with a small group of robot makers on our first engineering engagements. Design partners get a reduced rate in exchange for feedback and, if you're happy, a reference.
