Why we got real
Realtime Robotics was founded with the goal of transforming how robots and autonomous vehicles move. Our initial invention was a proprietary computer processor that quickly solved how to get a robot or vehicle to it’s desired target without collisions. This solved the problem of conventional motion planning which has been too slow for robot and AV applications in dynamic environments.
Realtime Robotics has continued to transform automation, with products that provide trailblazing features like risk-aware driving, high-productivity multi-robot workcells and automated robot vision that continuously calibrates itself. See more about our evolution below.
