Introduction
Developing autonomous outdoor products, such as robotic lawnmowers, demands robust electronics platforms that ensure precision, efficiency, and safety. From control systems to power management and wireless connectivity, the electronics must be optimized for reliability and scale. Sigma has supported end-to-end electronics development through an agile, integrated engineering model.
About the Client
The client is a global leader in outdoor power products with a strong focus on automation and robotics. To meet the growing demand for intelligent lawncare solutions, they required dedicated support in developing and testing the electronics platform for their robotic product line, including both control logic and hardware performance optimization.
Solution
Sigma’s agile hardware team contributed to the full electronics development lifecycle across several key domains:
Design and testing of product architecture, digital hardware, and power electronics
Development of multiple PCBAs, including control units, battery management systems (BMS), and wireless modules (Bluetooth)
Integration of charging components and diagnostic interfaces
Supplier and production coordination, including PCB/PCBA manufacturing alignment with global plant needs
The team operated as an embedded agile unit, maintaining its own backlogs and sprints while fully synchronized with the client’s development processes.
Results and Deliveries
A complete and modular electronics platform for robotic lawnmower systems
Efficient coordination with suppliers and production facilities, reducing delays and improving handover quality
Seamless integration of Sigma’s agile team with the client’s internal workflows
Continued evolution of product features across different robotic platforms
