Packbot, SUGV, & FirstLook are the original Unmanned Ground Systems we developed. The OS is our own distro built using open embedded. Newer robots use newer Linux variants. The Robotics systems include controllers, which are also variations of Linux distros (tho our newest non-DoD (aka commercial) offering is android based). <br/>
<br/>
We spun off from iRobot in 2016 as Endeavor Robotics. FLIR acquired us a year ago. <br/>
<br/>
Software engineering at this company is never boring! <br/>
<br/>
And I'm fortunate to have been able to spend most of my career developing for Linux based products. <br/>
