ShadowRobot
The Shadow Robot Company
Created in 1987 in London by a group of robotics enthusiasts, the Shadow Robot Company is now one of Britain’s longest-running robotics firms and a leading developer of technology around grasping and manipulation for robotics. Their flagship product is the Shadow Dexterous Hand, an anthropomorphic robotic hand used mainly for research and development, with recent applications used to advance research into artificial intelligence.
What We Delivered
Waverley was able to quickly provide the needed DevOps expertise and develop a cost-efficient solution that suited the client’s needs.
The team enabled the secure uploading of customer data. Most of the work was done using AWS, Linux Shell Scripting and the AWS Lambda function. Waverley also provided the AWS CloudFormation template for a repeatable solution.
In addition, Waverley integrated a fully managed build service that saves on costs by being charged only for the compute resource that the system uses. The solution compiles source code, runs tests and produces ready-to-deploy software packages, automatically performing server provision, management and scaling.
Waverley provided detailed step-by-step instructions for the client’s admins to enable and configure G-Suite and AWS Account Single Sign-On.
Waverley provided qualified engineers and I’ve enjoyed talking with them. They’re able to solve most of my difficulties. If they don’t know the solution, they’ll investigate it, which I really appreciate.” – Andriy Petlovanyy Head of Software, The Shadow Robot Company
The client needed a continuous relationship to accomplish a number of mission-critical tasks. Waverley quickly found the necessary in-house expertise to take over right from the definition of specifications. This allowed the client to spend less time on documentation and to concentrate on business-related strategic tasks.
To ensure the most benefit from our collaboration, Waverley discussed with the client the areas in which it could improve, and produced and implemented a list of alterations. Additionally, Waverley provided UI/UX expertise when the client felt the need to scale up the team.
Outcomes & Impact
Two-thirds of the work is complete and the team is preparing to start the migration to the new build infrastructure. Waverley will also assign a team of UI/UX professionals to provide the necessary UI/UX expertise.
