Flexbot: Achieve the Same Results in Half the Time with Half the Team
With Flexbot, companies can develop new products and prototypes significantly faster – with fewer resources and without complex manual work.
This means cost savings and faster product development, as well as a clearer, more manageable, and well-documented development environment. Flexbot automatically generates the software framework, allowing work to be focused on developing algorithms and logic instead of building the infrastructure.

Scalable Swarm Applications for Mobile Machines with Flexbot
- Flexbot makes the development of swarm applications easy to manage and scalable. It enables rapid communication and coordination between, for example, drones or autonomous vehicles—without complex manual work.
- Flexbot automatically generates communication networks and protocols directly from system specifications. This keeps the system consistent and manageable, even as operations are scaled up or new machines are added.
Key Features
Flexbot is designed to accelerate software development for mobile and autonomous machines.
- Automated Software Construction: Flexbot automates the generation of messaging, component isolation, and concurrency management streamlining the software development process.
- Focus on Algorithms: By providing a pre-built platform, Flexbot allows you to direct your resources towards developing algorithms and shaping your business logic.
- Modular and Upgradable Architecture: When requirements change, Flexbot specifications can be easily updated. The platform automatically builds a new version of the software—without the need to restart the entire project from scratch.
- Error Reduction: Flexbot’s message-based paradigm simplifies development by dividing tasks into manageable subtasks and reducing the possibility of errors.
- Evolutive Development: Flexbot supports the development of new applications as well as the refactoring and development of pre-existing applications. It can be deployed incrementally, allowing for software evolution with minimal disruption.
- Compatibility: Flexbot is compatible with multiple systems, programming languages, and protocols, such as Zenoh, ROS 2, DDS, C++, MATLAB, and Simulink.
Benefits
Speed and Cost Efficiency
Flexbot significantly accelerates the process of robot software engineering and reduces costs by automating the necessary details of software construction.
Get Rid of Vendor Lock
Flexbot’s source code is available if needed.
Manageable Architecture
With the messaging network generated from a specification, the specification is always up-to-date with the implementation, ensuring the architecture remains manageable.
