Rpanion Electronics is run by an experienced communications and autonomous systems engineer specializing in robotics, automation, and advanced systems development. With over a decade of expertise in satellite communications and unmanned vehicle technologies, this platform bridges professional-grade hardware and software solutions for ArduPilot-compatible companion computers.
Our major focus lies in integrating Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson platforms into autonomous systems, facilitating tasks like video streaming, image processing, and networking. Companion computers, while not directly issuing low-level commands to unmanned vehicles, play a critical role in high-level processing and communications. This includes computer vision, path planning, and routing telemetry over networks such as 4G, satellite, or Wi-Fi.
Rpanion Electronics aims to simplify and streamline companion computer integration into unmanned vehicles by developing reliable hardware interfaces and robust software tools. This builds upon years of experience in creating scalable network technologies and contributing to the ArduPilot ecosystem. It includes enhancements to MAVProxy ground station software and MAVLink-based communication systems.
I have actively worked with unmanned vehicles since 2010, competing in the UAV Challenge Outback Rescue multiple times, and am a member of the ArduPilot Development Team. With a background as a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) and significant contributions to Defence systems, this expertise extends to designing interfacing solutions for advanced autonomous systems.
Whether you need advice on running MAVLink over high-latency links, custom ArduPilot development, or electrical system design for unmanned vehicles, Rpanion Electronics delivers innovative solutions to meet your needs.
