About LXRobotics
LXRobotics GmbH is an engineering service provider based in Pregarten, Austria, specializing in the interface between embedded firmware and robotics software. Its offering includes firmware development for microcontrollers such as STM32, RP2040, nRF52840 and ESP32 as well as application processors running Yocto Linux, including Linux kernel drivers, CAN bootloaders (OpenBLT) and secure OTA updates. A further focus is ROS and ROS 2 development: system architecture and node design, driver development, Nav2 integration for autonomous navigation, and migration from ROS 1 to ROS 2. This is complemented by Cyphal/OpenCyphal and DroneCAN integration for distributed real-time communication over CAN, CAN FD and Ethernet, as well as Gazebo services ranging from initial setup and ROS integration to plugin development and migration to Ignition Gazebo. Customers come from mobile robotics/AGV, UAV technology, agricultural machinery and battery management systems, among other fields; reference customers include Arduino, Shift Reality, Xponent Power, Wasserbauer, Goksal Aeronautics, Mandala Robotics, Zubax Robotics, Custom Power and Feaser. The founder and managing director is Alexander Entinger, a former Senior Firmware Engineer at Arduino.
