For robotics companies

Control and communication software for medical robotics companies.

Elevate Aura writes the software layers around a medical robot: controller firmware, the internal bus that lets its boards agree with each other, the operator or companion app, and the cloud layer that lets a support team see a machine on a customer site.

In one sentence

What we write for a robotics company, and what we have shipped

Medical robotics software, as Elevate Aura offers it, means the software layers around a machine your team has designed: firmware on the controllers, the communication between them over CAN, Modbus or serial, an operator or companion app, and a cloud layer so a support team can see a machine sitting on a customer site.

Being precise about the track record matters here. Elevate Aura has worked with a medical robotics company, Medline Robotics in Chennai, and what we built for them was an e-commerce and distributor platform, not its robot software. This page offers device software capability rather than a robotics reference.

The engagement is software-only. Mechanical design, the arm or stage, electronics, PCB design, manufacturing and hardware regulatory certification stay with your team, along with the safety architecture and the regulatory route. We write software to your specification and deliver documentation your team can use in its own submissions.

The software gap

The mechanics are impressive. The software is several prototypes.

Robotics teams are usually strong on mechanism and electronics, and thin on the layers that make a machine supportable.

Boards that do not agree

Each controller was written separately, and the machine has no single view of its own state.

An interface built for the lab

The operator screen assumes the person using it helped build the machine.

No view of a machine in the field

A fault on a customer site is described over the phone by somebody who was not watching it.

No way to update firmware

Every software fix after delivery turns into a visit with a laptop and a programmer.

How the work runs

From your machine specification to software on it.

01

Scope and boundary

Controllers, buses, interfaces and the software-only line agreed in writing.

→
02

Architecture

State model across the machine, message plan between boards, fault behaviour.

→
03

Firmware

Controller software in C/C++ to your spec, with drivers and safe defaults.

→
04

Communication

CAN, Modbus or serial between boards, and the link out of the machine.

→
05

App and cloud

Operator or companion app, telemetry and a support dashboard.

→
06

Test and hand over

Run on your hardware, documented, source owned by you.

What is written

The software layers of a robotic machine.

⚙On the controllers

  • Firmware in C/C++ to your spec
  • State handling across machine modes
  • Peripheral and sensor drivers
  • Fault detection and safe defaults

🔌Between the boards

  • CAN message and identifier plan
  • Modbus or serial links where used
  • Heartbeat and node presence
  • Behaviour when a node goes quiet

📱For the operator

  • Tablet or web operator interface
  • Status, faults and guided recovery
  • Settings with enforced limits
  • React Native for Android and iOS

☁For support

  • Telemetry to Supabase or Azure
  • Fleet dashboard and alerts
  • Usage and fault history per machine
  • OTA update path and version view
In practice

Where a robotics company usually needs a hand.

Several controllers, one machine state

Workflow: Each board publishes its state and faults on a planned message set, and the supervising controller acts on them or stops the machine.

Result: One agreed view of the machine instead of several opinions.

An interface a trained operator can use

Workflow: The screen shows what the machine is doing, what is wrong and the next step, with limits enforced on the controller rather than in the interface.

Result: Operation that does not depend on the engineer who built it.

Supporting machines you cannot visit

Workflow: Usage, faults and firmware versions are reported to a dashboard, and fixes go out as field updates.

Result: Support that starts before the customer calls.

Questions

Medical robotics software, answered.

Have you written software for a medical robot?

Not the robot software. Elevate Aura built an e-commerce and distributor platform for Medline Robotics, a medical robotics company in Chennai: storefront, distributor portal, quotations, ordering, payment verification and SEO landing pages. The device software capability described here is offered on its own merits. See the Medline Robotics case study.

Do you design the robot or its electronics?

No. This is a software-only engagement. Mechanical design, the arm or stage, electronics, PCB design, component sourcing, manufacturing and hardware regulatory certification all stay with your team. We write firmware, communication and application software to your specification.

Who owns the safety architecture?

Your team does. Safety design, hazard analysis and the regulatory route are yours, and we implement to the behaviour your specification defines. We deliver design, interface and test documentation your team can use in its own submissions, and we do not claim compliance on your behalf.

Can you handle the bus between our controllers?

Yes. CAN is the usual choice inside a machine with several controllers, with Modbus or serial where those are already in use. See CAN bus software development for how the message and identifier plan is handled.

Can we see machines on customer sites?

Yes. Usage, faults and firmware versions are reported into a pipeline on Supabase or Azure and shown on a dashboard with alerts and roles. See device dashboard development.
