Avular
Dutch mobile robotics company founded 2014 as a TU/e spinoff, making the Origin One ground robot, Vertex One drone, and Autopilot platform for autonomous uses.
Avular is a Netherlands-based mobile robotics company headquartered at Strijp-T in Eindhoven, the heart of the Brainport technology region. The company was founded in 2014 as a spinout from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), which is recognized as a six-time world champion in robot soccer. Avular employs between 51 and 200 people and has a stated ambition to have over one million Avular-powered robots in the field by 2030.
Avular's core product portfolio consists of three complementary product lines designed to enable autonomous mobile robotics across ground and aerial domains. The Origin One is a modular ground robot platform developed specifically for researchers and engineers who want to build and test their own autonomy software. It features an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX onboard computing module, fully integrated perception sensors, and Avular's in-house Autopilot for path planning and obstacle avoidance. The robot is equipped with a 650 Wh Li-Ion battery enabling up to five hours of operation (3.5 hours continuous drive), dust- and rain-proof housing, and four 10-inch low-profile pneumatic tires suitable for both indoor and outdoor terrain. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, and Bluetooth.
The Vertex One is a research-grade drone platform with a one-kilogram payload capacity, powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Avular's proprietary real-time flight controller. It is designed for rapid integration of custom sensor payloads, with comprehensive documentation and open design files for academic and professional research use. The Autopilots product line extends Avular's platform technology to third-party machines, enabling OEMs and system integrators to autonomize existing equipment across a wide range of professional applications.
Avular has positioned itself as a European challenger to U.S. and Chinese mobile robot vendors, emphasizing modularity, open integration, and suitability for research environments. The company actively collaborates with MathWorks (MATLAB and Simulink integration) and participates in ITEA 4 European innovation programs. Primary application areas include academic research, asset inspection, area surveying, and follow-me navigation scenarios.
