Carnegie Robotics builds custom robotics systems for government and industry.
We also manufacture and sell rugged robotics components that allow other organizations to develop their own robots.

AI has been getting most of the attention in the autonomy industry, and while it is important for advancing the capabilities of mission-critical systems, there still must be a layer in the stack that allows for human intervention.
Drive-by-wire is one of the most critical layers in off-road autonomy. Controlling steering, braking, throttle, transmission, and transfer cases across rugged platforms requires redundancy, failsafe strategies, and hardware designed to perform in environments where vibration, dust, mud, and extreme temperatures are common.
As autonomous systems move beyond demonstrations and into operational deployments, reliability and functional safety become just as important as intelligence.
At Carnegie Robotics, our drive-by-wire systems have been integrated across 27 vehicle platforms and serve as the control foundation for autonomous and tele-operated systems operating in some of the world's most demanding environments.

Stereo vision transforms pixels into depth, giving autonomous systems the ability to understand the world in three dimensions.
Different views. Same scene. More information.
This view from one of our stereo cameras shows more than a vehicle driving through a lot. The system is identifying and classifying the objects around it, transforming raw pixels into information that autonomy systems can act on.
Perception is where awareness begins. And the better a system understands its surroundings, the better decisions it can make.
Trusted intelligence at the edge.
CardShark's capabilities provide a tactical advantage on the battlefield delivering up to 100 TOPS of edge compute in a small, lightweight form factor, designed to be body-worn and perform in the harshest conditions.
CardShark is field tested and deployed around the world with new use cases being discovered every day.

From the driver's seat, there's something striking about watching a vehicle navigate challenging terrain on its own.
What looks simple in the cab represents thousands of decisions being made in real time: perception, localization, path planning, and vehicle control all working together. The future of off-road autonomy won't be defined by flashy demos, it will, instead, be defined by reliability in places where the terrain doesn't care if your system is ready.

Off-road autonomy demands more than perception and compute.
Reliable autonomous operations start with safe, deterministic vehicle control. Our drive-by-wire architecture bridges the gap between autonomy software and real-world vehicle actuation with redundant safety systems, failsafe braking, and safety-rated hardware designed specifically for rugged off-road environments.
Our system stands out for a few key reasons:
- Vehicle agnostic, COTS & custom
- Full control of steering, braking, throttle, transmission, and transfer case
- Redundant safety systems utilizing highly SIL-rated hardware and failsafe braking strategies
- Proven at scale: currently deployed across 27 vehicle platforms
- Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS): built to support BLOS operational architectures for extended-range vehicle operation.

We are getting ready to head to UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh today, and in preparation, we made this fun little video to entertain the kids.
Looking forward to it!
From mining and construction to defense and agriculture, autonomous systems only deliver value when the hardware can survive the environments they’re deployed into. That’s why ruggedization is engineered into every layer of our platforms.
Built to see the world. Built to survive it.
Autonomous systems are only as accurate as the data they rely on. Even the most advanced perception stack can suffer from reduced performance if cameras are not properly calibrated.
Whether you're deploying stereo perception systems, machine vision cameras, or multi-sensor autonomy stacks, precise calibration helps ensure your system performs reliably in the field.
