DRESNO ENGINEERING • ROBOTICS

BUILDING SYSTEMS THAT CAN
PERCEIVE AND MOVE

DRESNO Robotics is the future integration point for mechanisms, electronics, sensing and control. Its first flagship direction is Weaver MK1—a modular spider-robot concept developed across the DRESNO engineering ecosystem.

MECHANICS • SENSING • CONTROL • INTEGRATION

BRINGING THE DISCIPLINES TOGETHER

DRESNO Robotics will unite the technologies developed across 3D Works, Mechatronics, Electronics and Engineering R&D. Rather than beginning with a finished robot, development starts with individual structures, joints, sensors and control systems that can be tested and improved step by step.

FUTURE CAPABILITIES

FROM INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS TO COMPLETE ROBOTS

Four connected areas will guide the development of practical robotic platforms and the technologies behind them.

  • ROBOTIC MECHANISMS

    Modular joints, linkages and structures developed for controlled movement, adjustment and future maintenance.

  • PERCEPTION & SENSING

    Camera, distance and environmental sensing concepts explored to help robotic systems understand their surroundings.

  • MOTION & CONTROL

    Controllers and movement systems developed to coordinate multiple joints safely and repeatably.

  • SYSTEM INTEGRATION

    Mechanical, electronic and software elements brought together progressively as one testable robotic platform.

    WEAVER MK1 — SPIDER ROBOT DEVELOPMENT

    PLANNED — CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

    Weaver MK1 is the DRESNO Robotics flagship concept: a modular eight-legged exploration platform bringing together printed structures, robotic joints, electronics, sensing and system integration.

    MODULAR MOTION JOINT

    PLANNED — SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT

    A servo-driven joint and leg test stand is planned as the first physical development step toward Weaver, allowing movement, mechanical travel and replaceable bracket concepts to be explored safely.

    SENSOR & NAVIGATION TEST PLATFORM

    FUTURE RESEARCH DIRECTION

    A compact test platform may be used to explore perception, obstacle detection and navigation concepts before systems are considered for integration into Weaver or other future robots.

BUILT ACROSS DIVISIONS

WHEN THE SYSTEMS COME TOGETHER

Robotics combines structure, movement, electronics, sensing and software into one connected system. Weaver gives the DRESNO divisions a shared development direction—allowing individual technologies to be explored separately before they are considered for complete-robot integration.

  • Printed structures and components from DRESNO 3D Works
  • Joints and mechanisms developed through DRESNO Mechatronics
  • Control, sensing and power systems from DRESNO Electronics
  • Experimental integration and testing through Engineering R&D
