We deploy robots for inspections in hazardous spaces, like nuclear.

Our software turns any robot we deploy into an everyday independent worker at your facility. They are able to walk sites, handle instruments, overcome obstacles, collect measurements, and generate auditable compliance records, replacing hours of manual surveys and inspections. Built by Los Alamos robotics veterans and deterministic-manipulation researchers, we're starting in nuclear and expanding to other hazardous industries.
