Custom hardware · advanced systems · applied AI — since 2002

We build the parts
that have to work.

You bring the idea at the edge of what's possible. We build the whole thing — the hardware, the AI, the encrypted real-time systems — and make it work in the real world, not just the demo.

What we build

Working systems at the edge of what's possible.

Not a slide deck. Not a screen recording. Working prototypes, proofs of concept, and complete systems — ready to hand to an investor, a customer, or drop straight into the field.

01

Prove it — then raise on it

A working proof of concept you can put in an investor's hands — so you raise on something real, not a slide deck.

02

Prototype it, earn traction

A working product real enough to put in customers' hands — so you win the first believers and grow from there.

03

Make the hardware real

A physical device — a drone, a machine, a 3D-printed prototype — with voice, video, and AI running on-device or in the cloud, built to hold up outside the lab.

What vibe coding can't do

The easy 80% is a commodity now. We build the hard 20% that decides whether it ships.

Real hardware

Firmware that physically works — not just on a screen.

Real latency

Systems where milliseconds and sync genuinely matter.

Real security

Encrypted pipelines built to hold up — not bolted on later.

Real AI

On-device models that run with no cloud to lean on.

Real users

Systems that run for years in someone's hands.

The business case

What we do — in plain business terms.

No jargon. Here's why founders and product leaders bring us in — and what it does for the bottom line.

01

Turn an idea into something real — fast

We build a working version of your product, not a slide deck. Momentum starts in weeks, not quarters.

02

De-risk the moment money is on the line

Investors and customers commit to what they can see and touch. A working prototype turns a "maybe" into a "yes."

03

Get the hard parts right the first time

Most projects quietly stall on the 20% that's genuinely hard — the hardware, the speed, the security. That's the part we own.

Bottom line

One senior team, a cost you know up front, and a working result you can raise on, sell with, or ship.

Capabilities

Four specialties.
One team of experts.

Deep in the disciplines most teams outsource and hope for the best — combined under one roof so the seams actually line up.

01

Hardware & embedded

Custom PCBs, firmware, sensor fusion and secure boot — engineered to survive the real world. We take it from a bare board to a finished unit that holds up in the field: drones, machines, and rugged edge devices.

Custom circuit boards

We design the electronics from scratch — sized, shaped, and powered for your specific device.

Device firmware

The low-level code that lives on the chip and makes the hardware actually do its job.

Sensor fusion

Blending several sensors — camera, motion, GPS — into one reliable read of what's happening.

Over-the-air updates

Push new software to devices already out in the world — improve them without a recall.

02

Applied AI

AI that sees, hears, understands, and decides — running on the device or in the cloud, chosen for privacy, speed, and cost. We pick the right model for the job, not whatever's trending. The kinds of AI we build with:

Computer vision — AI that sees

Recognizes objects, faces, motion, and scenes through a camera — counting, tracking, inspecting, and guiding in real time.

Speech & audio — AI that listens

Turns speech into text, follows voice commands, and detects sounds — hands-free control and transcription.

Language & LLMs

Understands and generates text, powers chat and assistants, and drives agents that take real actions — not just answers.

Sensor & predictive AI

Finds patterns and anomalies in sensor data and forecasts what's coming — for machines, health, and industrial systems.

On-device & offline (edge AI)

Runs on the hardware itself — fast, private, and working with no internet connection.

Made to fit small chips

We shrink large models so they run on low-power devices without losing much accuracy.

03

Real-time & encrypted media

Sub-100ms, multi-camera, end-to-end-encrypted delivery that stays in sync over unreliable links — end-to-end encryption without the lag tax, when milliseconds count.

Near-instant delivery

Video and data arrive in under a tenth of a second — fast enough to control things live.

Locked end to end

Encrypted from sender to receiver, so no one in between can read or watch it.

Multiple cameras in sync

Several video feeds kept perfectly aligned, frame for frame.

Reliable on weak connections

Holds a smooth stream even on spotty, low-bandwidth, or unstable networks.

04

Software systems

From a scrappy first prototype to an architecture built to last — the backends, protocols, and control systems underneath it — handed off as clean, documented code your own team can take over and own.

System design

The overall blueprint for how every piece fits together and grows as you scale.

Custom data protocols

Purpose-built ways for your devices and services to talk to each other efficiently.

Servers built to stay up

The behind-the-scenes systems, engineered to keep running under heavy load and failure.

Clear handover

Documented, tested code your own team can pick up and fully own.

How we work

Small teams. Clear scope.
No mystery.

Two ways to engage, depending on how settled the target is. Either way you talk to the engineers and see progress the whole way.

Monthly · agile

When scope is still moving

$10k/ month, starting

Monthly sprints while the problem is still being discovered — change direction as you learn, without renegotiating a contract every week.

  • Sprint by sprint — pause or stop anytime
  • A direct line to the engineers building it
  • Working progress you can see every week
Start a sprint
Week 1

Deep dive into your problem, constraints, and what "working" actually means.

Weeks 2–4

First functional prototype or the core system architecture — something running.

Month 2+

Iterative builds, testing, hardening. You see progress throughout, not at the end.

Handoff

Code, documentation, and an intro to a production partner if you need to scale.

Why us

When it has to work in the real world — not just the demo — you don't call for more prompts. You call in the robot army.

And the army is human. RobotArmy isn't a swarm of bots building things on their own — it's a tight team of senior engineers who design the custom hardware and advanced systems themselves, and make them actually work. The robots are what we build for you.

The engineers behind the machines.

Our mission

We build technology that surprises and delights — making different computers talk to each other in magical ways, collapsing space and time so machines, and the people who use them, can be a little more telepathic.

Founded by Damien Stolarz · building the hard parts since 2002.

Book a call

Bring us the part that shouldn't be possible yet.

You talk straight to the engineers — no sales funnel. Tell us the idea at the edge of what's possible, and we'll tell you exactly what it takes to make it real.
