Tess Space

Smart autonomy. Anywhere it matters.

Product

State-of-the Autonomy software for off-road UGVs

Modern operations in dual-use, security, and surveillance industry face growing challenges that demand reliable autonomy and scalable situational awareness

At Tess Space, our mission is to develop autonomous, intelligent robotics solutions that ensure human safety in extreme and hazardous environments — from border patrol in Greenland, surveillance at airports and critical infrastructure to enabling a sustainable human presence on the Moon.

FROM SPACE TO EARTH

Tess Space’s co-founders have developed and tested navigation and perception algorithms on rover prototypes designed for lunar and Mars-like terrains.

With a research background in space robotics and artificial intelligence from Aalborg University and ESA, we develop advanced navigation algorithms and systems for unmanned vehicles.

We now bring these capabilities to real-world applications here on Earth — tackling critical missions and challenging off-road environments.

TECHNOLOGY

We provide fully autonomous navigation and real-time decision-making for Uncrewed Ground Vehicles (UGVs) in GPS-denied and extreme environments. 

Harness real-time environmental data, sensor inputs, and performance metrics to gain actionable insights. Our system streamlines data acquisition and visualization for efficient mission planning and diagnostics. 

  • Mission data protected: Full-disk and software encryption (AES-256) keep sensitive data safe, even if hardware is lost.
  • Secure from the first boot: Hardware-rooted trust with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM, ISO/IEC 11889) ensures systems always start in a verified state.
  • Operator in command: Remote disable options give users control if systems are compromised.
  • Adaptive security layers: Protection can scale from standard deployments to mission-critical operations.
