Configuration

Optimize system startup, automate device pairing, and implement other features all from a single convenient configuration file.

Monitoring

Robosoft’s built-in diagnostic tools enable software and configuration provisioning, system resource (CPU, memory, storage, temperature) monitoring, and other monitoring and control capabilities.

System Updates

Robosoft implements atomic update mechanisms with automatic fallback to a secondary partition, ensuring secure and reliable system upgrades.

Statistics

Collect and monitor real-time statistics for signal strength, transmit power, antenna configuration, link quality, traffic, frequency, channel width, and other key performance metrics.

Smart by Design. 
Reliable by Architecture

A single embedded platform designed for connected, autonomous, and high-availability system development that is predictable, modular, and resilient. Linux re-engineered for reliability, flexibility, and control.

Declarative Configuration

RoboSoft uses a single, validated configuration source to ensure every system component stays synchronized. This declarative approach eliminates configuration drift, minimizes manual editing errors, and guarantees consistency from development to deployment.

Component Independence

With standardized interfaces and dynamic component registration, teams can build and test hardware platforms independently. This modularity accelerates development, simplifies maintenance, and allows seamless integration of new features without disrupting existing functionality.

State Coordination

RoboSoft’s hierarchical state management and locking mechanisms prevent race conditions while enabling coordinated communication across components. The result: predictable system behavior, even under concurrent workloads.

Atomic Updates

An A/B partition scheme with automatic rollback ensures that updates are seamless, secure, and fail-safe. If something goes wrong, RoboSoft reverts automatically — no manual recovery, no downtime.

Event-Driven Network

By separating configuration logic from operational interfaces, RoboSoft achieves maximum flexibility and responsiveness. This event-driven design avoids the rigidity of monolithic management systems, empowering developers to adapt and extend without rewriting core logic.

Volatile Runtime State

RoboSoft maintains a volatile runtime state, ensuring that every reboot starts clean and consistent. This guarantees repeatable behavior, faster recovery, and more reliable system performance — even after unexpected restarts.

Discover why RoboSoft stands out

Narrow channels
Robosoft on 8devices hardware enables narrow channels at widths from 1.5 to 19.5 MHz. These can be used to improve interference avoidance, range optimization, and link stability for resilient long-range unmanned system deployments.
Extended frequency range
By supporting frequencies beyond the standard IEEE-802.11 frequency allocation, Robosoft reduces spectrum congestion and enables high-power transmissions that make long-range UAS communication more reliable.
Precision frequency control
Robosoft supports precision frequency control, a key feature for enhancing security and connection resilience. Enabling precision frequency control for devices or networks improves their resistance to interference and jamming.
OpenHD, OpenIPC, RubyFPV supportUpcoming
8devices hardware running Robosoft provides seamless integration with OpenHD, OpenIPC, and RubyFPV, reducing integration effort and enabling robust video and telemetry links for advanced drone applications.
Token-based Tx schedulingUpcoming
This proprietary IEEE 802.11 transmission extension gives UAS and robotic systems fine-grained control over their transmit time, enabling collision-free communication and predictable performance to prioritize timing and reliability.
