“I’m thrilled to look ahead to next year and continue evolving our shared robotic architecture.” -  Gerard Sequeira ;  Boston Engineering Robotics Software Engineer

The groundwork we’ve laid is paying dividends across multiple projects, across multiple markets and applications. Momentum for innovative robotic solutions is accelerating, and Boston Engineering plans to continue growing its capabilities in 2024.

We developed and implemented the core software framework and drivers for our shared robotics architecture in 2020. Since then, we’ve incorporated learnings from real-world testing and feedback. The architecture has proven adaptable as market needs have grown and new technologies have emerged. The key to its performance has been a balance between structure and flexibility.

The most advanced Boston Engineering inspection robotics showcase the potential of the shared architecture. The same technology is used in multiple iterations of our crawler vehicles, regardless of task, size, or environment. New sensors integrate seamlessly thanks to standard interfaces. Other components are easily swapped or upgraded with minimal cost and minimal additional design (if any).

Embrace the future trends that are shaping a new era of engineering excellence.

The 2024 Technology Outlook from Boston Engineering offers an insightful glimpse into trends and innovations on the horizon. Spanning artificial intelligence, robotics, additive manufacturing, and more, this collection of articles provides key takeaways for those looking to stay ahead of the technology curve.

We can share improvements across the entire architecture – updating technology and upgrading performance with each innovation. Going forward we will continue to build on these synergies. Boston Engineering will identify the most impactful subsystems and generalize them even further.

With a robust shared core of technologies, we can concentrate our engineering power on the hardest robotics problems, not just the robots themselves. With a relatively low development overhead, the speed of innovation and novel capabilities within our Robotics Center of Excellence (COE) will only increase. Coupled with the flexibility of our architecture, this will allow us to expand in bold new directions.
