NODE Robotics

In mobile robotics, software and hardware are often sold as a bundle. This can simplify procurement and early tests, but it may restrict component choice, lengthen safety validation when a sensor or compute unit changes, and create long-term supplier dependencies. NODE.OS keeps those options open. Its base layer, Robot Autonomy Skills, brings reliable localization, navigation, and task execution to any AGV or AMR. When you need to scale, Fleet Autonomy Services builds on that base and manages traffic coordination along with fleet, mission, data, and performance control through a single interface. The platform lets you decide to pick the hardware, supports ROS2, and connects to fleet-management systems via a VDA 5050 adapter. No controller swap, no sensor change, no redesign cost, and integration time drops sharply. Designed for the future, NODE.OS supports long-term scalability and smooth integration with evolving technologies. The software already runs in daily operations on more than 1,500 mobile robots, providing near-continuous availability under real-world loads. See how our advanced localization, navigation, and fleet solutions can elevate your mobile robot project. Convince yourself how we make mobile robots easy to use, and learn more about our software modules down below.

To manage mixed fleets, you need accurate RTLS that shows forklifts and tugger trains alongside mobile robots on one live map. UWB systems are widely known, but the infrastructure costs and installation effort are often a barrier. NODE.tracking takes a simpler approach. It uses LiDAR-SLAM to deliver centimeter-level accuracy without anchors or floor work. Start small, expand as needed, and keep investments predictable. The same software already powers more than 1,500 vehicles in the field, giving NODE.tracking a proven base that makes deployment low-risk and dependable.

Our CEO and Co-founder Stefan Dörr-Laukien will speak tomorrow at the Fraunhofer IPA’s Technologieforum on the next stage of mobile robotics navigation and coordination. More details below.

Day-one logistics can slow robot projects: lanes marked by hand, PLC scripts adjusted, floor tape installed—costly tasks with no long-term value. NODE.move changes this with fast, software-based roadmap generation. A single 2D map upload builds a complete virtual roadmap network in minutes. Updates are equally simple: draw new corridors on-screen, configure them when needed, and push them live without interrupting production. The result is scalable deployment—quick to commission, easy to update, and robust in daily operation. We make mobile robots easy to use. Reach out to Ali Rahmati or Philipp Schnattinger for details.

Own the CI/CD backbone that keeps our mobile robotics software reliable. We’re hiring a Robotics QA / DevOps Engineer (full-time, Stuttgart) to strengthen our engineering and raise the bar on release quality. At NODE Robotics, our software powers mobile robots in production environments worldwide. As we scale, we need someone who keeps releases predictable, tests meaningful, and infrastructure dependable. In this role, you will design and evolve our CI/CD and release pipelines, build robust QA tooling, and drive ISO 9001 aligned processes, including testing with real hardware. We’re looking for someone with: - 4+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, QA, or software testing  - Background in robotics software deployment, with ROS or ROS 2 highly desirable  - Proven experience with CI/CD tools (GitLab or similar) and automated test pipelines  - Solid programming or scripting skills in Python, C++, or similar, for tests and automation tools  - Experience testing software on real hardware Interested?

Multiple RTLS methods—tags, codes, magnetic stripes, floor tape, reflectors, and UWB or BLE beacons—cover only parts of a facility but bring cost and coverage trade-offs. You need to install extra hardware, refresh codes and stickers, repaint lines, and replace batteries. Costs increase, accuracy drifts, and projects can stall. Using a LiDAR-SLAM module that can be mounted on any tugger train or forklift in a matter of minutes, NODE.tracking offers an additional approach. It references existing racks, walls, and pillars, eliminating anchors and checkpoint tags in standard layouts. By delivering reliable, high-precision localization, NODE.tracking boosts mixed-fleet visibility and lays the foundation for asset tracking. Its robust, adaptable design makes it a valuable solution for industries that demand real-time, cost-effective, and scalable tracking in challenging environments.
