Technical Depth

Six Autonomous Systems Paradigms We Build With

From raw sensor data to reliable real-world actions — here are the core technical capabilities powering our autonomous systems.

Perception & Sensor Fusion

Combining LiDAR point clouds, RGB-D camera feeds, radar returns, and IMU data into a unified, consistent world model. We implement multi-modal fusion architectures that maintain accurate 3D object detection and semantic segmentation in real time, even when individual sensors degrade or fail.

LiDAR Fusion Camera + Radar 3D Object Detection Semantic Segmentation

SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation & Mapping)

Building consistent maps of unknown environments while tracking agent position within them — without GPS. We implement visual SLAM, LiDAR SLAM, and graph-based optimisation approaches with loop closure detection and global bundle adjustment for robust long-duration operation in complex scenes.

Visual SLAM LiDAR SLAM Loop Closure Map Optimisation

Path Planning & Trajectory Optimisation

Computing collision-free, dynamically feasible paths through cluttered environments using sampling-based planners (RRT*, Hybrid A*), lattice planners, and trajectory optimisation. We balance smoothness, energy efficiency, and safety margins — adapting plans in real time as the environment changes.

RRT* / A* Trajectory Opt. Dynamic Replanning

Behaviour Planning & Decision Making

Translating low-level perception into high-level decisions — lane changes, stop/go arbitration, obstacle avoidance maneuvers, and interaction with other agents. We combine rule-based finite state machines, hierarchical behaviour trees, and learned driving policies trained with imitation and reinforcement learning.

Behaviour Trees Imitation Learning RL Policies

Safety Monitoring & Fail-Safe Systems

Building layered safety architectures that detect system faults, sensor failures, and unexpected environment states — triggering safe-stop, takeover, or degraded-mode operations. We implement runtime monitors, formal verification of safety properties, and redundant fallback control loops for mission-critical deployments.

Runtime Monitors Formal Verification Fail-Safe Control

Simulation-Based Validation

Stress-testing autonomous systems across millions of synthetic scenarios — rare events, sensor noise, adversarial actors, and edge cases that cannot be collected in the real world. We build parameterised scenario generators in CARLA, Isaac Sim, and custom environments to achieve coverage-driven validation before hardware trials.

Step 01 of 05

Sensor Suite Design

We select and configure the optimal sensor payload for the operational domain — balancing perception range, resolution, redundancy, cost, and SWaP (size, weight, and power) constraints. Every hardware decision is driven by the worst-case operational scenarios the system must handle safely.

  • LiDAR, camera, radar, IMU, and GPS integration planning
  • Sensor placement and field-of-view coverage analysis
  • Redundancy architecture for safety-critical sensing
  • Calibration rigs, time synchronisation, and hardware interfaces
Step 02 of 05

Perception Stack Development

Building the full perception pipeline from raw sensor data to a rich semantic world model — including object detection, tracking, segmentation, lane marking, and free-space estimation. We optimise inference latency to meet real-time requirements on target embedded hardware.

  • Multi-modal sensor fusion and calibration
  • 3D object detection, classification, and tracking
  • Semantic segmentation and occupancy grid mapping
  • TensorRT / ONNX optimisation for embedded deployment
Step 03 of 05

Planning Algorithm Integration

Integrating global path planners, local trajectory optimisers, and behaviour decision modules into a coherent stack that runs reliably under real-time constraints. We tune planning parameters against the specific kinematic limits and use-case requirements of the target platform.

  • Global route planning and HD map integration
  • Local trajectory optimisation and obstacle avoidance
  • Behaviour layer: FSM, behaviour trees, and RL policies
  • Controller design: MPC, PID, and adaptive control
Step 04 of 05

Simulation & Safety Testing

Running millions of scenario variations in high-fidelity simulators — covering sensor noise, adversarial agents, weather conditions, and rare failure modes impossible to collect in the field. Safety properties are formally verified and test coverage metrics are tracked against certification requirements.

  • CARLA / Isaac Sim scenario generation at scale
  • Fault injection and degraded-sensor testing
  • Safety property verification and coverage analysis
  • Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing
Step 05 of 05

Real-World Validation & Certification

Structured field trials in progressively complex operational environments — transitioning from controlled test tracks to operational domains. We produce evidence packages for regulatory certification, document edge-case handling, and establish OTA update pipelines for continuous improvement post-deployment.

  • Staged field trials: controlled to operational environments
  • Certification evidence package preparation
  • OTA update infrastructure for safety patches
  • Operational performance monitoring dashboards

Real-World Impact

Autonomous Systems We've Built

Production autonomous deployments across industries — each delivering measurable operational gains from day one.

Last-Mile Delivery Robots

Logistics

Core Challenge

Last-mile delivery is the most expensive segment of the logistics chain. Human couriers cannot scale to meet e-commerce demand peaks, while traditional automation cannot handle the unstructured environments of pavements, building lobbies, and mixed pedestrian-vehicle zones.

Who Benefits

E-commerce fulfillment operators, hyperlocal delivery companies, and campus logistics managers seeking autonomous ground vehicles that navigate mixed environments, handle handoffs, and operate extended hours without human intervention.

Industrial AGV Fleet

Manufacturing

Core Challenge

Manual material transport inside factories is a bottleneck for lean manufacturing and Industry 4.0 automation. Fixed-track AGVs lack the flexibility to adapt to production layout changes, while human forklift operators introduce variability, safety incidents, and high operational cost.

Who Benefits

Automotive plants, electronics manufacturers, and warehouse operators that need flexible, reconfigurable autonomous fleets capable of navigating dynamic factory floors alongside human workers — with full WMS integration.

UAV Inspection Systems

Energy / Infrastructure

Core Challenge

Manual inspection of power lines, wind turbines, oil & gas pipelines, and tall structures is expensive, slow, and exposes workers to significant safety risks. Routine inspections are often deferred, creating asset degradation and regulatory compliance gaps.

Who Benefits

Energy utilities, oil & gas operators, and infrastructure asset managers that need frequent, consistent, low-cost inspection data across large geographies — with AI-assisted anomaly detection integrated into asset management workflows.

Autonomous Agricultural Machines

Agriculture

Core Challenge

Agricultural labour shortages and rising input costs are compressing farm margins. Tractors and harvesters require skilled operators for extended hours in harsh environments — operations that are prime candidates for automation, but demand high reliability in unstructured outdoor settings.

Who Benefits

Large-scale farms, agri-tech companies, and precision agriculture solution providers seeking autonomous navigation, variable-rate application, and real-time crop monitoring that can operate from pre-dawn to sunset without operator fatigue.

Frequently Asked

Autonomous Systems Questions

Answers to the questions engineering leaders, product teams, and safety officers ask before starting an autonomous systems engagement with Presear Softwares.

Ask Our Autonomy Team
What sensors do you integrate with?
We integrate with the full range of commercially available autonomous system sensors: solid-state and spinning LiDARs (Velodyne, Ouster, Livox), monocular and stereo RGB cameras, thermal cameras, mmWave radar, ultrasonic sensors, IMUs, RTK-GPS, and CAN-bus vehicle interfaces. Our perception stack is sensor-agnostic at the architecture level — drivers and fusion layers are modular and can be adapted to new hardware without rebuilding the core system.
How do you ensure the system is safe?
Safety is not a single component — it is a system-wide property. We implement layered safety architectures: runtime monitors that detect off-nominal states, redundant fallback controllers, hardware-enforced safe-stop mechanisms, and formal verification of critical safety properties. Every system undergoes simulation-based stress testing across millions of scenarios before a single real-world trial. We also document safety cases following functional safety frameworks (ISO 26262, IEC 61508) as appropriate for the deployment domain.
Do you handle regulatory certification?
We support certification processes by producing structured evidence packages — test logs, scenario coverage reports, safety analysis documents, and FMEA records — in formats suitable for regulatory submissions. We have experience with CE marking for mobile robotics, DGCA requirements for UAV operations in India, and ADAS functional safety frameworks. We work alongside your regulatory consultants and legal teams rather than acting as the certifying authority ourselves.
Can the system work in GPS-denied environments?
Yes. Our SLAM-based localisation stack is designed to operate without GPS as the primary localisation source. We use LiDAR SLAM, visual SLAM, and wheel-odometry fusion to maintain accurate position estimates in indoor environments, tunnels, dense urban canyons, and underground facilities. GPS is treated as one additional sensor when available — not a dependency — ensuring the system degrades gracefully rather than failing completely when satellite signals are unavailable.
How is the system updated post-deployment?
We build OTA (over-the-air) update infrastructure into every production deployment. Software components — perception models, planner parameters, behaviour policies, and safety monitors — can be updated remotely through a staged rollout process with automatic rollback if post-update metrics degrade. Critical safety patches follow an expedited update path. We also provide telemetry pipelines that stream operational data back for continuous model improvement and fleet-level performance monitoring.
