Most NREC project require the integration of mechanisms, electronics and software. We start with field proven architectures before designing and building individual components. We've assembled unmanned ground vehicles that span 9 lbs to 7 tons (and several in between); ruggedized 3D imaging sensors, plant container handling systems, and many others. After system assembly we focus on field testing in the most realistic conditions possible.
