The mobile robotics industry is experiencing a fundamental shift. Successful business leaders are making a decisive move toward advanced vision-based perception systems. The reason? Perception technology is not just a technical choice, it’s a decision that determines how fast and how far your robotics business can grow.
Perception Technology: The Foundation of Success
In today’s robotics landscape, your perception solution, which determines how your robot understands and navigates its environment, directly impacts the fundamentals of your business. It defines the breadth of your addressable market and the problems you can solve because it will:
Determine how fast your robots can be commissioned (and the associated customer support costs)
Define your operational efficiency, the number of supports calls your team will handle, and your ability to scale; and more importantly
Define what applications you can tackle and how quickly you can adapt to new market opportunities.
In short, the best perception solutions will give a double boost to growth:
It will dramatically improve the TCO of existing applications leading to more deployments; and
It will enable new applications that couldn’t be addressed with older technologies.
Classic robot navigation typically uses laser-scanner based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) or infrastructure-based inputs (magnetic tape, RF, visual markers etc.). Modern perception solutions combine visual SLAM (vSLAM), artificial intelligence, and sensor fusion to enable robots to understand and adapt to their environment in real-time. This technological foundation is crucial for companies aiming to lead in the age of PhysicalAI and intelligent automation.
The RGo Advantage: Comprehensive Solution for Every Growth Stage
RGo’s edge perception enginedeveloped by a team of experts over seven years, stands out by offering a complete solution that addresses the complex challenges of robotic navigation and perception:
Robust Foundation
RGo’s proprietary vSLAM and Learning Vision System technology combines AI algorithms with powerful sensor fusion to enable infrastructure-free natural navigation everywhere. It operates indoors & outdoors, on uneven surfaces, and in dynamic environments. The solution delivers a robust 6DoF localization with rich 3D geometric and semantic understanding. This allows robots to adapt in real time to changing conditions and dynamic obstacles. As a result, they can be deployed much faster and intelligently adjust to any environment or operational challenge. More information about RGo Perception Engine can be found here
Comprehensive Solution from Prototype to Scaling
RGo Perception Engine offers seamless integration and deployment with complete tool chains for integration, testing, calibration, monitoring, and deployment. Built on years of industry experience, it includes ready-to-use best practices and APIs supporting multiple operating systems (including ROS).
Multi-layer Value
Systems powered by RGo operate in the most demanding environments, consistently meeting industrial-grade reliability standards. Leading manufacturers and logistics customers highlight three key benefits:
Reliable operation in complex environments
Seamless adaptation to changes
Significantly shorter commissioning times
Increasingly, customers leverage RGo’s perception data to enhance safety, productivity, and efficiency through advanced AI capabilities like digital twins and visual analytics using Vison-Language Models (VLMs) that contain the capabilities of LLMs but extend them to process and understand visual data.
Accelerating Success Across Growth Stages
Early-Stage Companies: From Concept to Series A
For startups racing to validate their concept and secure Series A funding, companies like Capra Robotics demonstrate how RGo’s technology accelerates success by:
Enabling rapid deployment – launching industry-grade solutions in months instead of years
Optimizing engineering resources – allowing lean engineering teams focus on their unique value propositions and core business
Driving early customer wins – delivering professional, reliable performance from day one
Funding success through market validation – Capra Robotics Raises EUR 11.3M to Accelerate Global Expansion
Growth-Stage Companies: Series A to B
With average Series A rounds of $15-30 million and pressure to show scalable success within 2-3 years, spending $7-10M and three years on basic localization isn’t viable. Companies like wheel.me and Onward Robotics showcase how RGo’s solutions help to:
Slash deployment time from years to months
Reduce their development costs, achieving more with less funding
Leverage navigation robustness and Visual Perception as a differentiator
Reduce risks by using a proven solution
Enable rapid scaling without expanding engineering teams
Reduce costs through simplified commissioning
Bring to market disruptive AI-powered innovations
Established Players: Leading the PhysicalAI Era
Market leaders with thousands of deployed units face challenges with commissioning time, expensive legacy stacks, and dynamic environments. Upgrading perception solutions is often not trivial for these companies. They must meet high-quality standards, and have established manufacturing, development, and deployment processes, along with teams accustomed to the current solution. RGo facilitates transition by:
Solving perception through a seamless integration
Supporting system redesign for software-defined architecture
Providing comprehensive transition tools across evaluation, development, and operations
Enabling expansion into new use cases (dynamic, outdoors, slopes, narrow)
Reducing commissioning times and improving customer satisfaction
Harmonizing fleet software stacks
Accelerating AI adoption through built-in integrations with virtualized environments & VLMs
Assuring fast and smooth transition to a proven next-generation visual perception solution
Building for the Future
The true value of advanced perception technology lies in its ability to evolve with your business. RGo’s solution provides not only cutting-edge capabilities but also a foundation for future innovation:
Continuous updates without hardware changes
Seamless integration with emerging AI technologies
Expert team support
Scalable business model requiring no upfront investment
Making a Strategic Choice
While some companies attempt in-house development, market leaders recognize a clear truth: in today’s fast-moving AI landscape, building basic perception capabilities from scratch is a costly distraction. The most successful robotics companies choose using proven perception solutions that let them focus on their unique value proposition.
Leading robotics companies are already leveraging RGo’s comprehensive perception solution to accelerate their journey to the next phase of growth. The question isn’t whether to adopt advanced vision-based perception, but how quickly can you implement it to stay competitive?
Your competitors are advancing. Are you ready to accelerate your journey?
