SERVICES
Software
Development
We write cross-platform apps with Xamarin or Flutter and web frontends with Angular or NiceGui. Backends and robots are mostly coded with Python and for embedded systems we use C++.
Artificial
Intelligence
Our main focus is on computer vision tasks with active learning. We also work with reinforcement learning to tackle difficult-to-code tasks in robotics.
Product
Design
The design of our products is based on the 10 Design Theses from Dieter Rams. Good design is innovative, makes a product useful and is environmentally friendly.
System Administration
While we use macs as workstations we love Linux on servers and robots. We automate with Ansible, package with Docker and create overlay networks with Nebula.
Mechanical
Engineering
Fusion 360 is our go-to tool for collaborative CAD. We utilise a Lulzbot and an Ultimaker S5 for
3D printing, have a welding station and order metal parts from TailorSteel.
Electronics
We design circuit boards with KiCad, solder on a dedicated height-adjustable table or utilise our oven and order many of the needed pieces directly in China.
SKILL SET
Use our skills to crack your problem.
AGILE & LEAN
Our agile team is greatly inspired by extreme programming in terms of methodology and working methods.
We keep processes clear, flexible and lean with Kanban. By working from first principles and setting grand goals we push for the best solutions.
To make collaboration frictionless a combination of Trello, Slack and Google Workspaces has proven to be ideal for us.
CULTURE
We strongly identify with Ray Dalio's principles: “be radical open minded and radical truthful; because if everything is brought up, improvement happens much faster”, as it is well summarised in this video.
