Kaspevo Labs is open for engagements

Mumbai, India

Engineering products from silicon to software

An engineering studio founded by engineers with experience in robotics startups, embedded Linux, custom hardware, AI and open-source systems.

Six domains, one system

  • Mainline Linux kernel
  • Apache NuttX upstream
  • GSoC 2026 · Linux Foundation
  • Safety-critical RTOS
  • 80+ boards fabricated

Work our engineers did before this studio existed, each backed by a source.

We didn't start with a company. We started by building.

Before Kaspevo Labs existed, our engineers were already contributing to open-source infrastructure, designing production electronics, bringing up embedded Linux platforms, and helping early-stage robotics and systems companies turn prototypes into products.

Kaspevo Labs is the natural next step — bringing those capabilities together into one engineering studio.

Capabilities, proven by experience.

Every domain below is backed by work that shipped, was measured, or was merged upstream. Nothing here is a tool we have read about.

Eyecandy Robotics

Two of us were on the early team, both working across robotics and electronics — custom boards, power, autonomy and control, through to a robot people could walk up to.

  • A small painted robot held in one hand above a printed floor graphic, with other robots out of focus behind it.
    Hand-painted, at the showcase.
  • A small blue and white robot with tall ears sitting upright in a round fabric bed, on an exhibition floor.
    Idle, waiting to be spoken to.
  • The same blue and white robot with one arm raised, sitting in front of a laptop showing a Python traceback in a terminal.
    One arm up, and a traceback on the laptop behind it.
  • A small multi-board electronics assembly held in one hand, its four boards arranged around a central spine and wired to power and ribbon connectors.

  • Four robots of different sizes lined up on a low stage at a public showcase.

How we work.

Kaspevo Labs is a young studio and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. The experience behind it comes from production electronics, open-source infrastructure, embedded Linux platforms and robotics systems — places where failure has consequences.

01

We work at the seams.

Hardware, firmware, Linux and autonomy fail at their boundaries. That is where we are useful.

02

We read the datasheet.

And the kernel log. And the schematic. Most integration bugs are already documented somewhere nobody looked.

03

We upstream what we can.

Where a fix belongs in the project rather than in your tree, we send it there. It survives the engagement that paid for it.

04

We measure, then claim.

Every number on this site has a source behind it. Where we don't have a figure, we don't invent one.

Tell us what isn't working.

Describe the failure, not the job spec. If we're the wrong team for it we'll tell you, and say who might be right.

Sound familiar

  • The board won't boot.
  • The camera pipeline panics the kernel.
  • The autonomy stack drifts.
  • The power budget doesn't close.
  • It works on the bench and dies in the field.
