At Thoro, we're on a mission to deliver the benefits of autonomous mobile robotics in 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 environments and conditions. The stack consists of world-class autonomy software, a highly customizable cloud reporting tool, a deployment and ops support service, and our advanced hardware solutions.
If you are interested in autonomous robotics and industry 4.0, we want to talk to you. This is not a research project: we are focused on autonomy at scale, and we've forged strategic partnerships with leading OEMs, setting us up to deliver our autonomy stack in cleaning and logistics and in environments spanning retail, education, health care, airports, event centers ... and more to follow.
Thoro is in a great position to lead the autonomous mobile robotics space with a team of incredible depth and expertise, the technology to deliver, and the partnerships to build a transformative business for the future.
