We design and build autonomous systems, precision mechanical assemblies, and advanced electromechanical platforms, engineered from first principles for demanding real-world environments.
The Robotics & Engineering division of West Shore Dynamics works across the full system stack, from embedded firmware and motor control to structural design and systems integration.
Our platforms are designed for environments where off-the-shelf solutions fall short: high-radiation zones, extreme temperatures, precision-critical manufacturing lines, and research environments demanding custom instrumentation.
Every design decision is grounded in engineering discipline. We build things that work: repeatably, predictably, and in the conditions they were designed for.
Six interlocking capability areas that define our technical scope.
Ground-up design of autonomous mobile platforms, manipulators, and inspection systems, including humanoid maintenance platforms for facility operations. Custom kinematics, motion planning, and perception pipelines built for the specific operational context, from structured lab environments to live reactor infrastructure.
Design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) applied to high-tolerance mechanical systems. Tolerance stack analysis, fixturing, and process engineering for repeatable production.
RTOS-based embedded software, custom PCB design, motor drivers, and communication protocols for deterministic, safety-critical control applications.
FEA-driven structural optimization and thermal management design for high-performance mechanical assemblies, including components operating in elevated-temperature or radiation environments.
Custom experimental platforms and test rigs for internal research programs, including instrumentation, data acquisition, and iterative prototype development aligned to the IFR program.
End-to-end integration of multi-subsystem assemblies (mechanical, electrical, software, and structural), verified against a requirements baseline and tested under representative operational conditions.
