Real systems, with what they do, and clips of them running. 7 projects across drone tracking, robotics, wearables and factory software.

Switch inputs on to see the work that used every one of them.

All 7 projects.

## The projects

[Case study, aerial surveillance

### SKYLOCK

Finds drones in live camera feeds, predicts where each one is going and keeps a gimbal camera on it, from the operator's console or on its own.

[Case study, assistive robotics

### HARP

Navigates a mapped building, tracks faces and holds a conversation with an onboard language model, built around a Raspberry Pi 5.

[Case study, last-mile logistics

### Auto Vendi

Maps its route, avoids obstacles and delivers in a locked compartment that the phone app releases.

Case study, manufacturing

### Quality inspection platform

Logs defects, marks fault locations and exports to Excel and PDF.

B software

[Prototype, assistive technology

### SceneScribe

Describes what the camera sees, in answer to the wearer's own question, through earphones.

### ReFlex

Reads forearm muscle signals, chooses a pinch or tripod grip from what the palm camera sees, and stops each finger on encoder feedback.

[Competition robot

### Tree-planting robot

Follows the arena's lines, plans on a grid and places blocks with its own mechanism.

## From the log

Short clips of the work running, with what each one shows.

[SKYLOCK, following a drone in auto track. Video without sound, 21 seconds.](https://www.whitehatdesignstudio.com/media/clips/skylock-tracking.mp4)

0:21, no soundThe SKYLOCK console in auto track. A small drone crosses a pale sky; a red box marks it with its detection score, and a small circle shows where the software predicts it is going. An inset then shows the camera gimbal on its tripod outdoors as it follows. By the end the drone sits at the centre of the view.

[Auto Vendi, corridor navigation. Video without sound, 15 seconds.](https://www.whitehatdesignstudio.com/media/clips/autovendi-corridor.mp4)

0:15, no soundAuto Vendi drives down a long indoor corridor. A person holding a phone walks beside it, then past it.
