Robotics development with a trusted industrial partner

Q: How long does it take to develop a robot?

The development time for a robot depends heavily on its level of autonomy , mechanical complexity , electronic architecture , and intended use (industrial, service, medical, logistics, etc.). On average, a robotics project unfolds in several phases: Definition of requirements & robotic architecture: 4 to 8 weeks Mechanical, electronic, and system design : 8 to 16 weeks Prototyping and integration : 12 to 24 weeks Testing, validation, and iterations: 8 to 20 weeks Preparation for industrialization: 12 to 24 weeks Thanks to its expertise in complex mechatronic products, Altyor supports its customers in reducing development cycles and ensuring a smooth transition from prototype to industrialized product.

The Challenges of robotics development

Actuators, sensors, mechanics, etc.
Robotic development relies on the advanced integration of various hardware components.

Mechatronic integration

A robot combines mechanics, electronics, software, and AI. Mechatronic design and rapid prototyping are necessary to validate the interactions between hardware and software.

Reliability and robustness

A robot must operate in real-world conditions (dust, vibrations, temperature variations, long cycles). Qualification tests are essential to ensure the durability of robots.

Energy self-sufficiency

Optimizing energy consumption through component selection and intelligent power management are key considerations for improving autonomy and flexibility.

Security and regulatory compliance

Robots must comply with strict standards (e.g., ISO 13849 for machine safety, ISO 10218 for cobots, GDPR for data).

Intellectual property and confidentiality

Project leaders must protect their know-how (algorithms, mechanical design) while collaborating with partners. An NDA (non-disclosure agreement) is a contract that includes intellectual property clauses.

Robotics sector and customer cases

Soft Bank Robotics

Humanoid robot

Nao is a 58 cm humanoid robot that was created in the 2000s and has established itself as one of the most iconic robots in the fields of education, research, and human-machine interaction. Thanks to its 25 motorized joints, it can walk, dance, get up after a fall, or even perform expressive gestures to communicate.

FAQ – Robotics development

How long does it take to develop a robot?

The development time for a robot depends heavily on its level of autonomy, mechanical complexity, electronic architecture, and intended use (industrial, service, medical, logistics, etc.).
On average, a robotics project unfolds in several phases:
Definition of requirements & robotic architecture: 4 to 8 weeks
Mechanical, electronic, and system design: 8 to 16 weeks
Prototyping and integration: 12 to 24 weeks
Testing, validation, and iterations: 8 to 20 weeks
Preparation for industrialization: 12 to 24 weeks
Thanks to its expertise in complex mechatronic products, Altyor supports its customers in reducing development cycles and ensuring a smooth transition from prototype to industrialized product.

What are the costs of developing a robot?

The cost of developing a robot depends on several factors:
– Mechanical and mechatronic complexity
– Sensors, actuators, and embedded systems
– Level of autonomy and safety
– Industrial constraints and production volumes
Altyor’s approach aims to optimize technical choices from the design stage in order to control costs throughout the robot’s life cycle.

Is it possible to produce a robot in micro series?

Yes. Micro-series production is a key stage in robotics projects.
It allows you to:
– Validate the robot’s reliability in real-world conditions
– Test assembly processes
– Adjust the design before larger-scale production
Altyor supports its customers in industrial pre-series production and prepares for ramp-up to series production.
