  • Build the robot workflow: task logic, perception, and planning on top of our stack.
  • Support the buildout of a demo-environment in our facility when necessary to prove we are hitting customer KPIs before deployment
  • Work with our human robot pilots to run timing studies, iterate until we hit the customer's numbers.
  • Hand off to field deployment with documentation, scripts, runbooks, and software proven in the lab.
