The Leading Autonomous Development Platform

Introduction Specification Safety Powertrain Suspension & Steering

Aurrigo, the leading autonomous pod manufacturer in the UK, has spent 5 years developing the devpod together with an additional suite of products which include our own autonomous control system (ACS), sensors, camera’s, multi-pod fleet software and customer app.

Aurrigo has a 25 year track record of creating highly sophisticated and safety critical automotive solutions. We supply some of the world’s leading car manufacturing companies and have offices and teams to support your projects in the UK, USA, Australia, Singapore, Vietnam and Canada.

Universities, software developers and autonomous project teams can now test and develop their own sensors, ACS

and advanced algorithms on devpod, a fully autonomous ready platform.

devpod is delivered with an application programming interface (API) enabling full control and customisation by you. It has no steering wheel or pedals and is a specifically designed platform for first and last mile transport. devpod’s can be ordered in any multiples and quickly setup to start your very own autonomous fleet for applications such as an on campus transport system.

devpod can easily be modified both externally and internally to enable developers to mount additional sensors, camera’s, displays or any other type of research equipment. devpod is ideal for customers who want to

quickly try out or swop out sensors and equipment.

devpod is a fully drive, steer and brake by wire vehicle which is controlled through the API or via the supplied remote controller handset. devpod can be driven whilst seated in the vehicle or remotely from outside using the handset and is supplied ready to operate straight out of the shipping container.

Speak to us now about the devpod platform, and our additional products and engineering support services and how we might help you get your autonomous project up and running.


Aurrigo’s Automated R&D Platform – Aurrigo’s four-seater pod is now available to purchase and customise, so if you are a University, educational establishment, software development company or working on autonomous projects then we have the R&D platform you have been waiting for - devpod!
