Our client is a fast-growing AI robotics company changing how industrial automation works. They offer robots-as-a-service that customers can deploy quickly at a fraction of the cost of traditional automation. Our client builds the whole stack in-house: they design and manufacture their own robots, train their own AI models, and run their own fleet at customer sites across the US.
