We deliver robotic systems for real-world performance from concept through commissioning

From early-stage feasibility to full-scale deployment, Salas O’Brien supports every phase of robotic integration. We help clients evaluate use cases, design and program custom systems, and align automation with existing controls. Through strategic procurement, trusted partnerships, and hands-on support—including installation, training, and maintenance—we deliver solutions that are built to perform and ready to scale.

Salas O’Brien’s approach centers on integrating commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies into complete, practical solutions tailored to each application. When needed, we develop custom prototypes that work alongside existing systems, helping clients modernize operations without disrupting what already works.

Our experience

Salas O’Brien is providing robotic innovation for federal and military clients

Salas O’Brien is developing, designing, and constructing some of the largest advanced robotics solutions for the Department of Defense (DoD).

We are also breaking ground with advanced pilot studies as we align third-party financing for the beneficial reuse of dredge material at major ports across the world. Salas O’Brien works with DoD clients to pilot advanced analytic solutions to support energy resilience by remotely monitoring energy intensity, identifying energy savings, and supporting predictive maintenance at installations. We were selected for a CSO contract by the US Air Force that offers innovative approaches to helping the DoD, Military, and their families with improved communications by leveraging 5G networks.
