Orthos Robotics Logo - Infrastructure for Physical Truth

Know what your robots
did and why.

Orthos Robotics gives autonomous-system teams a clear record of each mission. Ichnos connects ROS 2 health signals, navigation behavior, and capture evidence into an investigation-ready timeline.

The Problem

Failures lack context

A robot can report a fault without showing which mission was active, what recovery behavior ran, or what changed before the fault.

The Solution

Mission evidence, connected

Ichnos joins mission intent, system health, and recovery activity in one trace, so teams can move from an alert to a useful answer faster.

Ichnos

The evidence layer for autonomous operations.

A Go agent for ROS 2 that turns live diagnostics and navigation activity into connected OpenTelemetry traces. Use your existing telemetry tools, or use the Ichnos fleet service to investigate robots across the operation.

See the whole mission

Health readings, navigation goals, and recovery actions remain connected. A low battery or localization fault has meaning when it is placed in the mission where it occurred.

Ready for the edge

The agent records locally while it exports to the collector. It retries export after a connection problem and reports capture-pipeline health, so an investigation can include the quality of the evidence itself.

Escalate only when needed

Start a time-bounded forensic capture remotely for a specific robot. Ichnos discovers relevant ROS topics while safety limits control message size and capture scope.
