ROS2 Development + Integration Services

Think Circuits provides ROS2 development and integration services for companies building autonomous machines, mobile robots, and other advanced robotic systems. We help with custom software, hardware integration, embedded systems, migration, navigation, and system-level debugging; if your robotics project needs a stronger ROS2 foundation or help connecting software to the machine itself, contact us to schedule a discovery call.

Custom ROS2 Software Development

Think Circuits develops custom ROS2 software, but we also structure that framework around the behavior your robot needs. That may include nodes, publishers and subscribers, services, actions, and the application logic that connects different parts of the system. We also work through communication patterns and Quality of Service settings when timing, reliability, or data flow need more careful control. Our goal is to create a software structure that is easy to test and expand over time.

ROS2 Drivers and Hardware Integration

A ROS2 system still has to communicate with real hardware, which can include cameras, LiDAR, IMUs, motor controllers, embedded boards, actuators, and other devices.

We can develop or refine the drivers and interfaces that connect those components to the ROS2 environment. Depending on the hardware, that may involve Ethernet, USB, EtherCAT, serial communication, or a custom interface.

Our embedded background helps here because we can work on both sides of the boundary. If the problem sits in the ROS2 driver, the firmware, or the hardware interface underneath it, we can trace the issue through the larger system.

Navigation, SLAM, and Autonomous Behavior

Think Circuits can support ROS2-based navigation, localization, SLAM, perception, and path-planning work for autonomous platforms. We can integrate sensor data into the navigation stack, refine system behavior, and help resolve the problems that show up when autonomy works well in simulation but struggles on the machine.

Our expertise applies naturally to autonomous mobile robots, AGVs, UAVs, and other robotic systems that have to react to changing conditions.

ROS1 to ROS2 Migration

Older robotic systems often contain useful ROS1 code that can be repurposed, and in such cases, Think Circuits can help evaluate an existing stack, identify dependencies, and migrate the parts that should move into ROS2. That may include packages, drivers, interfaces, message handling, or higher-level application logic.

We want to preserve as much useful engineering work as possible while giving the system access to a more current robotics architecture and a better foundation for future development.

Embedded Linux, Jetson, and Edge Robotics

ROS2 often lives inside a larger embedded system, and that surrounding architecture can affect how well the software performs.

Think Circuits works with embedded Linux environments, NVIDIA Jetson platforms, custom compute hardware, sensors, and firmware. We can help clients decide where processing should happen, how the ROS2 layer should interact with lower-level software, and how much compute the machine needs for workloads such as perception, navigation, or edge AI.

Integrating ROS2 Into an Existing Robot

Many of our projects already have working hardware or a partial software stack prior to ROS2 implementation. We can engage with your existing platform to review the architecture and focus on the subsystem that needs attention. That may involve adding ROS2 support to established hardware, replacing an older integration layer, improving navigation, connecting new sensors, or cleaning up software that has become difficult to maintain.

Whether this is a narrow and targeted project or part of a larger robotics development effort, we are happy to help.

ROS2 Development for Real-World Robotics

Of course, the ROS2 system has to perform on the actual robot, under the timing, processing, and communication limits that come with real hardware. We test extensively, including processor load, message timing, sensor behavior, hardware interfaces, communications, and the way different subsystems respond under real operating conditions.

Our efforts in regards to debugging, documentation, and maintainable system structure will leave you with a robotics platform that can continue to evolve as your needs change.

Work With Think Circuits on Your ROS2 Project

Think Circuits can support custom ROS2 development, hardware drivers, migration, navigation, embedded integration, and existing robotic systems that need stronger software architecture. We work across the robotics stack, from firmware and embedded hardware through ROS2 and higher-level autonomy. Contact us to discuss your ROS2 development or integration project.
