At Thoro, we're on a mission to deliver the benefits of autonomous mobile robotics in complex industrial environments. It all starts with the Thoro autonomy stack, a platform created from industry-leading software and hardware and designed to adapt across a variety of industries and conditions. The stack consists of world-class autonomy software, highly customizable robotic fleet management solutions, a deployment and ops support service, and advanced low-cost hardware solutions.
This is not a research project: we are focused on autonomy at scale, and we've forged strategic partnerships with leading OEMs. We have two world-class products scaling globally now - an autonomous pallet mover, and an autonomous floor scrubber, and we are well positioned to further develop our autonomy stack into other products and verticals.
We are succeeding because we have built a great team of incredible industry and subject matter expertise. We also have a collaborative and optimistic outlook on the future of robotics in the workplace.
