Our take

Robotics has the potential to impact almost every industry from manufacturing to healthcare, but accessing and applying such technology to projects is not easy. Complicated hardware and software integrations, lengthy development cycles, and distrust towards robotics present obstacles to such innovation, and hiring a robotic engineer to tackle all of this is expensive.

Viam provides a low-code platform for robotics projects, allowing engineers to configure and control robots intuitively and quickly through a standardized set of robotic development building blocks. By removing the complications of bespoke code and providing an intuitive development platform, the company aims to increase accessibility to robotics, decrease the costs of robotics projects, and catalyze the development of the industry.

Whilst many startups are currently tackling challenges within robotics such as full automation, AI, and generalized functionalities, Viam recognizes that most engineers are unable to contribute their innovations despite such developments being made. By providing standardized development building blocks, the company bridges the gap between engineers, software developers, and the future of robotics.
