Create your own smart robotic control center
Nimbus is our Cloud-based platform with all the artificial intelligence you need to develop, analyze and manage your robot fleets remotely and in real-time.
Nimbus features
Tried and tested algorithms
Nimbus contains a library of proven algorithms - the intelligence your robots need to map, navigate and make decisions autonomously. Nimbus will auto-configure these algorithms, so you’ll be set-up and ready to go in no time.
Based on the open-source Robot Operating System (ROS), Nimbus is truly a ‘plug and play’ solution.
Decision-taking and data learning
Using Nimbus software, build robots capable of executing complex missions, in dynamic environments, where it is impossible to foresee all possible decisions.
By communicating with each other directly or through the Cloud, robots can build on their own experience. They can take decisions together collectively, share tasks, and re-plan to tackle changing scenarios in real-time.
Mission management
Nimbus puts you in control. Monitor your robots’ performance in real-time, from your computer, and then adjust their mission on the go, as your requirements change.
Introduce self-learning algorithms, so your robots can work ever more effectively. Create and benefit from Big Data.
Exploring the power of Nimbus.
Nimbus is our new Cloud-based platform that allows you to manage your robot fleets remotely and in real-time.
Find everything in one place, and simply drag and drop what you need. It’s a game-changer.

Here are some of the ways that Nimbus can help you.
Software integration and updates made easy
Software integration and updates made easy
Challenge
Like static computers, robots are composed of multiple hardware elements such as vision sensors and motors.
With each of these different elements having its own software, it can be difficult and time-consuming to integrate and update multiple device drivers - even when they use the same operating system.
Solution
Nimbus automatically configures and integrates these different components, saving you valuable set-up and development time.
Then, when you’re up and running, Nimbus keeps all that software updated through the Cloud, so there’s no need to bring your robots into a central location for updates. Given the frequency of sensor and other driver software updates, this is a significant benefit.
Nimbus software fully supported on the open-source Robot Operating System (ROS), the most widely-used operating system for robots.
Ready-to-go robotic solutions
Ready-to-go robotic solutions
Challenge
The development of robotic software is complicated and takes time.
In many cases the best robotic outcomes requires robots to work with each other.
Imagine the scenario in which an autonomous crane at a port needs to work together with an autonomous truck and an autonomous warehouse. The complex software required for such scenarios can cause project delays and barriers between the different equipment manufacturers.
Solution
The Nimbus software library includes control, communication and learning algorithms for robots that have been proven in commercial environments. By accessing these off-the shelf solutions, you can significantly reduce the development time for your new robotic applications.
Nimbus makes it so easy. Use Nimbus’ simple human interface to drag and connect selected algorithms, compose the mission and then auto-configure the component hardware.
Decision-making and data-learning
Decision-making and data-learning
Challenge
Many robots today rely on precisely-defined instructions to complete their tasks.
Further productivity benefits can be gained through robotic decision-making and herd learning capabilities.
Solution
Using Nimbus software, programmers can build robots capable of executing complex missions, in dynamic environments, where it is impossible to foresee all possible decisions.
By communicating with each other directly or through the Cloud, robots can then build on their own experience, taking decisions together, sharing tasks and re-planning and collectively adapting their mission to tackle changing scenarios in real-time.
Nimbus also allows you to analyze data from many different robots, to allow for multi-robot herd learning and productivity improvements.
Real-time management of robotics
Real-time management of robotics
Challenge
Most companies deploying robots onto a client’s site would like to understand more about their robots’ performance. That data could be used to set and improve the current performance metrics for their robots, or even to plan for future scenarios such as surge demand, route optimization or product placement.
When the software can only be accessed through physical contact with the robots, these insights can be difficult to obtain.
Solution
As Nimbus is Cloud-based, it can collect data from robots wherever they are and present the analytics to users on their computers, all in real-time. This gives invaluable insights into the robots performance.
Fleet management
Fleet management
Challenge
When companies deploy their robots on different sites, the robots’ software needs to be inherently adapted or configured to that specific site. This makes the process of software version maintenance on multiple sites difficult and error-prone.
Solution
Nimbus allows you manage your robot configuration on a fleet basis.
Access can be provided to specific robots to address role-specific requirements, or batch operations can be performed across the whole fleets.
