The robotics boom is here, and it’s shaking up every corner of industry, from factories and distribution centers to clinics, stores, and farms. Robots aren’t the stiff, preprogrammed machines they used to be. Today’s autonomous robots are becoming adaptive, perceptive, and deeply connected, blending hardware, software, and AI in ways that are changing how work gets done.
And the scale is massive: the robotics market has hit USD 53.2 billion in 2024, and it’s climbing fast. With 4.3 million industrial robots already running worldwide, companies are facing new challenges around tracking fleets, monitoring performance, and preventing downtime before it happens.
That’s where Globant comes in. We work with robotics makers and enterprises deploying automation to build smarter, more resilient autonomous systems. From sensor fusion and AI-driven perception to real-time connectivity and edge intelligence, we help turn complex robotic ecosystems into smooth, scalable operations.
Building the Digital Nervous System of Robotics
Modern robots rely on a complex network of sensors, actuators, and control systems that must operate seamlessly in dynamic environments. Globant’s expertise bridges these domains:
- Sensor Integration and Monitoring:
We integrate and calibrate multi-modal sensors, including cameras, LiDAR, IMU, depth sensors, and environmental sensors, ensuring real-time synchronization and accuracy. Our teams develop sensor fusion frameworks to combine diverse data streams into a unified perception layer, enabling precise awareness and control. - Actuators, Motors, and Power Systems:
We help integrate motor drivers, actuators, and power management systems, ensuring reliability, safety, and efficiency in motion control and energy optimization. - Edge Computing and Connectivity:
With the rise of 5G and edge computing, Globant helps companies distribute intelligence closer to the robot. We design architectures that support low-latency decision-making, remote control, and real-time video analytics, reducing dependency on cloud round-trips and improving responsiveness.
Intelligence that Moves: Perception, Planning, and Learning
True autonomy comes from the ability to perceive, decide, and act. Globant combines AI, computer vision, and reinforcement learning to bring advanced intelligence into robotic systems:
- Perception and Object Detection:
Utilizing state-of-the-art computer vision, deep learning, and sensor fusion, we enable robots to detect, recognize, and interact with their environment. From obstacle avoidance to quality inspection and object manipulation, our solutions enhance perception and contextual understanding, enabling more informed decision-making. - SLAM and Motion Planning:
We enable robots to map and localize in real time using Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and advanced motion planning algorithms. This allows autonomous navigation in both structured and unstructured environments. - Reinforcement Learning and Adaptive Behavior:
By leveraging simulation environments and digital twins, Globant develops reinforcement learning frameworks that enable robots to learn from experience, optimizing movement, task execution, and collaboration with humans and other machines.
Managing the Robot Ecosystem at Scale
As organizations move from pilot projects to fleets of robots, operational management becomes critical. Globant delivers digital platforms and DevOps-inspired practices for robotics operations:
- Fleet Management and Remote Monitoring:
We build cloud- and edge-based platforms for real-time fleet visibility, health monitoring, and predictive maintenance, enabling organizations to monitor thousands of devices. - Remote Control and Teleoperation:
For high-risk or dynamic scenarios, Globant develops secure teleoperation interfaces powered by low-latency 5G connectivity, ensuring human oversight where full autonomy isn’t yet possible. - Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates:
Leveraging software engineering excellence, we help teams implement OTA frameworks for seamless firmware and software updates—keeping robotic systems secure, compliant, and up to date without downtime.
