Our Work
We at Canyon View Technology are engineers, programmers, and designers driven to breathe life into new technology. We push the bounds of what is possible in the robotics field, with proven track record of success with individual inventors as well as established companies requiring technical help.
Autonomous ArduRover Builds
Two examples of Autonomous ArduRover builds for clients.
Some highlights are BendyRuler Obstacle Avoidance (360 Lidar), Simple Obstacle Avoidance (Single Point Rangefinder), GPS Follow Me, RTK GPS, Auto Trigger Pin, Long Range Telemetry, Long Range RC, Long Range Video Transmission, and Remote Relay Triggering.
Inverted Descent Quadrotor
Funded by the U.S. Army, the project consisted of proving inverted quadrotor descent as a viable alternative for low weight, high consequence aerial delivery. The final functional system ran custom C++ firmware in the PX4 flight stack to enable inverted descent.
The project proved to be a more efficient method of descent for quadrotors, and the work was published in MOSpace, the AIAA SciTech Forum, and presented in the NASA Space Grant Consortium annual conference.
Pixhawk Navigation Unit
Excited to show off the new Autonomous Navigation Unit we have developed. The vision with these Nav Units is to ease the growing pains of integrating an existing vehicle into the ArduPilot ecosystem. Plug in a power supply and the motor outputs of your vehicle and immediately reap the benefits of ArduPilot.
Features:
- Pixhawk Flight Controller
- M8N GPS providing Autonomous Navigation
- TF Mini Plus Lidar for Obstacle Avoidance
- 3DR Telemetry Radio providing Real Time Ground Station Monitoring and Control

Pan's Quest Development
Pan's Quest is a child focused, Peter Pan themed room developed for a local Escape Room. Highlights included utilizing VSeeFace facial tracking, Leap Motion gesture tracking and a custom Peter Pan VRoid model to allow Game Masters to interact with the children, present information and give clues as Peter Pan himself.
Jaw TMJ System
The Jaw TMJ Data Capture System was developed to train the user help combat this chronic condition. Highlights of the project were EMG signal logging to SD, a Real Time Clock Module for timestamps, button input to start/stop logs and vibration outputs.
XFactor Technology
Hitting Training System
Working with XFactor Technology we helped develop the patent pending Baseball Training System. Work was done developing a Python based Graphical User Interface (GUI) and custom hardware that measured swing data and communicated to the GUI via Bluetooth.
Time Bomb Development
The Time Bomb was a puzzle for a local Escape Room in a state of disrepair. Development work was done to convert the unusable room back into a functioning, revenue generating room for the Escape Room.
Highlights included toggle switches, emergency stop buttons, relay controlled smoke machine and Arduino triggered subway sounds.
