Overview

Intelligent autonomous and cyber-physical systems are increasingly deployed in complex, data-rich environments where live perception, decision-making, and collaboration are critical. Yet, these systems often face challenges in integrating diverse sensor inputs, visualizing operational data, and sharing information across several platforms.

VORTEX addresses these challenges with a comprehensive suite of technologies designed to enhance system intelligence and adaptability. Our solution includes three core components: the Perception Stack, VortexViz, and the Shared Awareness Stack. Together, they provide a flexible, scalable, and platform-agnostic foundation for building intelligent, responsive, and connected systems across a wide range of market domains.

Challenge

Modern autonomous systems must operate in real time, interpret complex environments, and make split-second decisions based on diverse sensor inputs.

To enable reliable autonomy at scale, a flexible, modular, and interoperable approach is needed—one that supports seamless sensor fusion, real-time environmental modeling, and scalable multi-agent awareness.

Solution

VORTEX delivers an integrated, ROS2-based technology stack designed to meet the demands of next-generation autonomous and cyber-physical systems:

  • Perception Stack: A modular framework that supports a broad array of sensors for object detection, multi-modal data fusion, and environmental modeling. Built on ROS2, it enables scalable deployment across diverse platforms and operational contexts.
  • VortexViz: A lightweight, browser-based visualization tool that connects seamlessly with the Perception Stack, enabling live single or multiple platform data visualization —simplifying both development and deployment.
  • Shared Awareness Stack: An extension that facilitates live sharing of perception data across multiple platforms. This enables coordinated autonomy, enhanced situational awareness, and collective awareness in distributed environments.

Use Cases & Industry Applications

VORTEX technologies can be applied across a range of sectors, enabling intelligent autonomy and improved system performance:

  • Robotics & Manufacturing: Advanced sensor integration supports precision operations, predictive maintenance, and autonomous navigation in structured and semi-structured environments.
  • Automotive: Employs enhanced perception for vehicle safety and navigational aids in connected vehicles.
  • Smart/Connected Cities: Leverages shared data to optimize urban infrastructure management and emergency response strategies.
  • Defense & Civil Protection: Enhances situational awareness and operational intelligence by integrating perception data from multiple unmanned assets.
  • Agricultural Technology: Facilitates improved crop monitoring and environmental management through precise data collection and analysis.
