RS9 · AI & Engineering Lab · Australia
Australia's AI and engineering lab.
Amongst Australia's leading AI and engineering labs. Airframes, actuators, circuit boards and AI, designed, built and tested in-house, then put to work where it counts.
Coming soon · Vantis
A 4K HDR camera for council fleets.
Vantis checks bin contamination at the point of collection and records kerbside and road conditions on every waste run. Trusted supply chain: no components from high-risk vendors. Pilot program in 2027.
Meet VantisWhat we build
Five disciplines. One lab.
RS9 is an Australian AI and engineering lab. We take on hard problems across software, AI, hardware and robotics, and build systems that work in the real world.
Drones and aerospace
We design, build and fly prototype drones.
Project Akali: an interceptor drone with custom engines and props, about ten prototypes to flight.
Robotics
We build legged robots on quasi-direct-drive actuators.
A biped platform in development, with the actuators and leg assembly underway.
Electronics and rapid prototyping
From schematic to working unit, all in-house.
Custom PCBs and embedded systems, taken through simulation, DRC and ERC checks to manufacturing-ready release packages.
AI systems
AI that runs where the work happens.
On-device speech recognition, voice agents and AI-driven operational workflows.
Mission-critical software
Systems people rely on every day.
The live waste-operations platform for Canterbury-Bankstown Council: driver iPads, a resident app and a staff portal on AWS Sydney.
Who we work with
Built for buyers with hard technical problems.
Councils
The problem. Field and resident operations that depend on systems that cannot fail.
What we bring. We have already built and run one at metro scale.
Federal and state government
The problem. Hard operational problems that off-the-shelf products do not fit.
What we bring. We design and build the system, hardware included, and run it in production.
Large organisations
The problem. Problems that sit across hardware, AI and software, where no single supplier covers all three.
What we bring. We cover all three in one lab.
Defence and primes
The problem. A capability gap that needs a flying, working prototype fast, without a long and costly program.
What we bring. Sovereign engineering across airframe, electronics, software and AI in one team.
