Navigation disciplines built for real floors

Each service line maps to a layer of your autonomy stack. Engagements can stand alone or chain into a full route dossier. All prices are indicative CAD ranges for Canadian clients; final quotes follow a scoping call and NDA where required.

Localisation benchmark setup with ground-truth markers in a test lane

Localisation & mapping review

We evaluate SLAM pipelines, map update workflows, and relocalisation behaviour against your operational layout. Site walks identify dynamic obstacles — rolling cages, pallet variance, glass partitions — that static mapping sessions miss. Deliverables include drift measurements at critical nodes, recommended feature map layers, and a maintenance calendar aligned with your facilities team. Suitable for teams preparing a new zone launch or diagnosing repeat “lost robot” events without replacing hardware.

CAD $8,500 – $18,000 · Typical duration 1–3 weeks

Path planning visualisation with velocity heat map on warehouse grid

Perception stack audit

Camera exposure, LiDAR mounting, and fusion timestamps are traced through recorded scenarios: low light, reflective floors, partial occlusions, and crowded aisles. We document false positive and false negative rates by object class, then tie each finding to tunable parameters rather than vague “model retrain” recommendations. Outputs support both ML engineers tuning detectors and safety officers reviewing minimum separation distances. Includes replay scripts your team can run after each software release.

CAD $9,200 – $22,000 · Typical duration 2–4 weeks

Path planning & motion control

Global planners, local controllers, and recovery state machines are reviewed as a single behaviour surface. We simulate choke points — dock approaches, elevator thresholds, bidirectional corridors — and measure comfort margins for loads and turn radii. Jerk-limited profiles, creep speeds near personnel, and explicit reverse manoeuvres are documented so operators know what to expect on shift. This discipline often follows a perception audit when stops are triggered by valid but overly conservative obstacle classifications.

CAD $7,800 – $16,500 · Typical duration 1–3 weeks

Fleet orchestration & traffic design

Multi-robot sites need intersection rules, charging prioritisation, and task batching that planners alone cannot enforce. We model your dispatch logic, Wi-Fi hand-off zones, and exception handling when a unit faults mid-route. Recommendations cover central traffic servers, zone reservations, and operator dashboards that show why Robot 4 is holding — not merely that it is idle. Particularly valuable before scaling from pilot units to double-digit fleet counts in 24/7 operations.

CAD $11,000 – $28,000 · Typical duration 3–6 weeks

Safety review session with hazard checklist and route overlay

Safety case & risk documentation

We help robotics leads articulate hazard analyses, operational design domains, and human–robot interaction protocols in language insurers and client safety committees accept. This is documentation support — not certification. We align with ISO 3691-4 awareness for industrial trucks and site-specific policies your legal counsel approves. Includes traceability matrices linking requirements to test evidence and known limitations your field teams must respect during incidents or maintenance windows.

CAD $6,500 – $14,000 · Typical duration 2–5 weeks

Simulation & digital twin validation

Before expensive floor time, we build or extend simulation environments seeded with your map topology and traffic profiles. Scenarios cover sensor dropout, map skew, emergency stops, and fleet saturation so regressions surface in CI rather than during a client visit. We integrate with common ROS/Gazebo workflows and can advise on hardware-in-the-loop benches for brake and steering validation. Deliverables include scenario catalogues, pass/fail thresholds, and a roadmap for keeping digital twins aligned with physical layout changes.

CAD $10,500 – $32,000 · Typical duration 4–8 weeks

Scope reminder: RoboDrive AI advises on navigation architecture and documentation. We do not sell robots, provide driver training for public-road autonomous vehicles, or guarantee regulatory approval. Engineering sign-off remains with your qualified personnel. Retainer packages combining multiple disciplines are available — ask during your navigation review.
