FAQ
Which programming languages are best for robotics?
<p>The choice depends on your task and goals for robotics development:</p>
<ul class=apriorit-list-markers>
<li><a href=/our-expertise/c-c-sharp-obj-c-programming>C++</a> is the industry standard for real-time robotics due to its superior performance and hardware control capabilities</li>
<li>C handles low-level microcontroller programming</li>
<li><a href=/our-expertise/python-development-services>Python</a> excels for AI/ML integration, computer vision, and rapid prototyping</li>
<li><a href=/our-expertise/rust-development-services>Rust</a> provides memory safety for mission-critical applications.</li>
</ul>
We select languages based on your performance requirements, timeline, and system complexity, often combining multiple languages for optimal results.
Is ROS2 better than ROS?
ROS2 is generally better for new projects. It offers real-time capabilities, enhanced security (including authentication and encryption), superior multi-robot support, and cross-platform compatibility. ROS still has advantages: a larger package ecosystem, a simpler learning curve, and better legacy hardware support. Choose ROS2 for robotics systems that require security and real-time performance, and ROS for research projects that need extensive third-party libraries.
What are the principal safety standards and regulations in robotics?
<p>Safety standards and regulations for robotics systems change rapidly. Currently, the key requirements are:</p>
<ul class=apriorit-list-markers>
<li>ISO 10218 — Industrial robots</li>
<li>ISO/TS 15066 — Collaborative robots</li>
<li>IEC 61508 — Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems</li>
<li>ISO 13849 — Safety-related parts of control systems</li>
<li>ANSI/RIA R15.06 — Industrial robots safety</li>
</ul>
How do you ensure the security and reliability of your robotics solutions?
<p>As a company compliant with ISO 27001 and other regulations, we implement a multi-layered security strategy. This includes secure boot, end-to-end encryption, secure <a href=/dev-blog/cybersecurity-risks-of-ota-automotive>OTA updates</a>, and strict access controls. </p>
During development, we conduct comprehensive security testing, model threats, assess vulnerabilities, and apply memory-safe programming practices.
Do you offer integration with existing “off-the-shelf” robotics software solutions?
Yes, we integrate with major robotics frameworks (ROS/ROS2), industrial automation platforms, simulation software (Gazebo, Foxglove Studio), and commercial development environments. We create custom connectors, adapters, and middleware to bridge different software ecosystems, ensuring seamless interoperability between off-the-shelf solutions and custom components.
Do you develop both embedded firmware and high-level control software?
<p>Yes, our robotics software services include full-stack development. We develop low-level embedded firmware for real-time control, motor drivers, and sensor interfaces, as well as high-level software including ROS applications, navigation systems, computer vision, and user interfaces. </p>
This comprehensive approach ensures seamless integration and optimal performance across your entire robotics system, from microcontroller to cloud deployment.
Do you perform security audits and vulnerability assessments?
<p>Security audits are at the core of our services. We conduct comprehensive evaluations, including code reviews, penetration testing, threat modeling, and compliance assessments. Our approach identifies vulnerabilities in embedded systems, communication protocols, and cloud integrations before deployment. </p>
We provide ongoing security monitoring and regular assessments to protect your robotics systems against evolving threats throughout their operational lifecycle.
