Autonomy
Autonomous Vehicle & AGV Prototyping
Autonomous vehicle prototyping is the engineering of a self-driving platform — drive-by-wire control, sensing, perception, and navigation. Raonebytes provides autonomous vehicle and AGV development services for hardware teams worldwide, building drivable, sensing-equipped prototypes that move from prototype to production with fixed quotes and an NDA on every project.
What's included
Drive-by-wire & control
Steering, throttle, and braking actuation electronics and low-level control.
Sensing suite
LiDAR, radar, cameras, GPS/RTK, and IMU integration with sensor fusion.
Perception software
Detection, tracking, and free-space estimation for safe operation.
Navigation & planning
Localization, mapping, path planning, and guidance for AGVs and vehicles.
Safety systems
Emergency stop, redundancy, and fail-safe behaviors for autonomous operation.
Integration & validation
Full-vehicle integration and structured validation in representative environments.
Our process
Spec
We define the platform, operating domain, and autonomy level, then return a fixed quote — typically within 24 hours.
Design
Drive-by-wire, sensing, and autonomy software architecture defined together.
Build
We build control electronics, integrate sensors, and develop the navigation stack.
Test
Bench and controlled-environment testing with safety and fail-safe validation.
Ship
A validated prototype with documentation and a path toward production.

We sign an NDA before any design details are shared.
Safety & compliance aware
Designed with international safety standards in mind.
Prototype to production
One team from first drivable prototype toward production.
Offshore value
Bengaluru-based engineering at rates that stretch your budget.
Frequently asked questions
How much does autonomous vehicle prototyping cost?
It depends on the platform, sensing suite, and autonomy level. We scope each project and return a fixed quote — usually within 24 hours — so you approve the price before work begins. AGVs in controlled environments cost less than full outdoor autonomy.
How long does AGV development take?
An AGV prototype typically takes 12–20 weeks across drive-by-wire, sensing, and navigation. Autonomy in less structured environments takes longer with perception and validation work.
What is the difference between an AGV and an autonomous vehicle?
An AGV (automated guided vehicle) usually operates in a controlled, mapped environment such as a warehouse, while a broader autonomous vehicle handles more variable conditions. We prototype both, scaling the sensing and perception to the operating domain.
Do you build the navigation stack on ROS?
Yes. We commonly build perception and navigation on ROS/ROS 2, integrating localization, planning, and safety behaviors with the supporting control electronics.
Do you work with international teams under NDA?
Yes. We serve hardware teams worldwide with daytime overlap, sign an NDA on every project, and design with the relevant safety standards for your market in mind.
