Modular design
VAIVA Autonomy Kit
A modular, configurable Autonomy Kit for new and existing unmanned vehicle platforms – designed to drastically increase the efficiency of teleoperators.
One kit
Modular
design
Flexibly expandable
Modular design for greater operational readiness
Integrate autonomous capabilities faster and scale them as needed.
The modular VAIVA Autonomy Kit supports the controlled addition of autonomous functions to UGV platforms. This reduces integration effort and enables the targeted use of unmanned vehicles to relieve employees and take over selected tasks.
Empower
faster
Reusable building blocks facilitate the integration of autonomous functions into new and existing UGV platforms.
Use more securely
Autonomous capabilities enable the use of unmanned vehicles for tasks that would otherwise require personnel to be directly on site.
Expand
step-by-step
Features can be added to match the platform, operational requirements, and proven product status.
More autonomy for the vehicle.
Control for the operator.
Autonomously reach specified targets
The UGV follows defined waypoints and takes over vehicle control on the planned route section.
Transparent operator integration
The operator can monitor the mission, make decisions, and regain control of the vehicle if necessary.
Reacting to obstacles
The Autonomy Kit helps the vehicle detect obstacles, assess the driving situation, and adjust its path.
Scalable with growing maturity
Capabilities constantly expand possible mission profiles and use cases.
SYSTEMATIC DEVELOPMENT
Fast cycles.
Architecture that grows with you.
We develop functions in short, practical loops – from initial software versions to testing on the platform. This makes hypotheses quickly verifiable and decisions resilient early on.
Test frequently,
develop purposefully
Simulation, integration, and testing with a real UGV interlock.
Findings flow directly back into the next round of development.
Automotive experience
as a foundation
Our automotive background enables us to combine speed with a clear system architecture, defined interfaces, and safeguarding
that is considered right from the very beginning.
Clarifying the right integration path together.
In a workshop, we classify the platform, application context, and development goals. Alternatively, we can first discuss the specific vehicle platform and potential next steps.

AUTONOMY KIT
From seeing to deciding
If you picture an autonomous vehicle, you probably imagine it seeing — reading the terrain, spotting obstacles, finding a way through. But seeing is the easy half. The real work begins the moment the vehicle has to choose.
AUTONOMY KIT
From Data to Dirt: Developing Off-Road Autonomy Step by Step
Autonomous driving functions must be tested early on, even though the final vehicle platform is often not yet fully available. At the same time, it is not enough to develop functions exclusively in simulation and only transfer them to the real vehicle at the very end.
