Fictionlab specialises in mobile robotics – autonomous unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) designed for special-purpose missions. The company develops its own products and provides engineering services, including platform customisation and the design of robotic systems from the ground up. Its flagship solutions – Leo Rover and Raph Rover – are simple, durable, and highly modifiable robots used in R&D projects across the space sector, defence, technical inspections, monitoring, and precision agriculture. Fictionlab’s solutions are trusted by universities, space agencies, research institutions, and armed forces worldwide.
Leo Rover – a compact, modular mobile robot, open to modifications and capable of operating in the field. Designed as an open R&D platform, it provides a solid foundation for advanced robotics projects, including planetary rover analogues in the space industry, as well as applications in defence, monitoring, and precision agriculture.
Raph Rover – an advanced next-generation robotic platform, developed based on years of experience and feedback from Leo Rover users. It combines a proven design with new capabilities in autonomous navigation, mapping, and long-range unmanned missions.
Engineering services – design and implementation of robotic systems based on Fictionlab platforms or built from the ground up for specialised applications, including robots for wind turbine blade inspection, pipe inspection, Agriculture 4.0, and industrial inspections.
Fictionlab supports scientific research and technological development by providing robots and expert support to universities and research centres around the world. The company’s mobile platforms serve as ground-based rover analogues in space robotics projects and as a base for research on autonomy, navigation, communications, and teleoperation. Fictionlab delivers its robots to ESA, DLR, and NASA, as well as to academic institutions such as Harvard University, University of Bristol, UC Berkeley, University of Luxembourg, and many other research centres worldwide.
