General Autonomy for Industrial Vehicles
Polymath is building a general autonomy stack for cautious vehicles. Our software allows any industrial vehicle - whether it's a tractor in a field or a bulldozer in a mine, drive itself. We bundle together AI, ML, Controls, ROS, Safety and best-in-class deployment practices to enable our customers to tell automated vehicles to do via a REST API. We're on more robots than we have engineers, are seeing our revenue (and robotic fleet) grow rapidly, and are looking for folks who want to help automate the world.
Polymath Robotics provides autonomy and safety systems for off-highway vehicles, offering a modular, software-first approach to vehicle autonomy that is sensor-agnostic and vehicle-agnostic. The platform emphasizes on-vehicle compute to reduce networking and enables flexible integration across various machines and environments.
The product is a modular autonomy suite that can be embedded on any off-highway vehicle. It emphasizes sensor agnosticism for compatibility with various sensors, vehicle-agnostic integration for different machine sizes and shapes, and onboard compute to minimize data streaming to control centers. Customers can deploy only the autonomy features they need, benefiting from a software-first, streamlined development path designed to be faster and more cost-effective than traditional autonomy programs.
Who it’s for: Off-highway fleet operators and manufacturers seeking autonomous or assisted-driving capabilities for industrial vehicles, with emphasis on logistics, construction, mining, and similar sectors requiring customization to diverse environments.
mentions of collaboration and customer quotes from industry leaders; references to partnerships and deployment readiness imply active traction and interest in practical deployments
Robots that are buildable and valuable are the most magical.
There is a certain enchanting magic that comes from working with robots; By waving our hands, we can make machines seem alive.
Polymath lets you easily add autonomy to any industrial vehicle, and build your own applications via Rest API.
Polymath Robotics releases Caladan, a simulation tool that lets developers build autonomous behavior for industrial vehicles via a REST API and Python, with seamless transition to real hardware. Caladan provides simulated vehicles/environments for testing basic autonomy in closed environments, with a free trial sign-up.
