Polymath Robotics - Newest Gold Sponsor!
“From a purely financial approach, working with our open source dependencies makes a ton of sense. Alot of the thankless work [Open Navigation performs] is work we would have to spend way more money and way more time on. ”
An Expanded Partnership - Gold Sponsor of Nav2!
We are proud to announce our expanded partnership with Polymath Robotics! They are Nav2’s newest Gold-level Sponsor helping usher in a strong 2025 for Nav2, ROS 2, and the open-source community. This expanded partnership will accelerate Open Navigation by providing additional needed resources for maintaining and developing key robotics capabilities which they rely on for their products and services. The closer partnership also helps Polymath by providing additional engineering and technical support to advance their mission of general off-road autonomy - as well as enabling expanded quality and support for the Nav2 and adjacent software packages they rely upon.
CEO Stefan Seltz-Axmacher and CTO Ilia Baranov are pioneering leaders in robotics technologies and understand the key importance that open-source software plays in their business and success.
“Nav2 powers Polymath’s 2025 goals: better deployments, bigger deployments, and larger fleets. All of that depends on rock-solid, excellent code quality. We can depend on Open Navigation to ensure that the software is extensively tested, routinely deployed, bugs fixed. ”
Open Navigation owner, Steve Macenski, speaking to a crowd of robotics industry leaders about Polymath Robotics applications and partnership with Nav2 at Actuate 2024 in San Francisco, California.
Polymath Robotics - Automating the Heavy, Dirty, and Dangerous
Based in San Francisco, Polymath creates safety-critical navigation systems for industrial vehicles that are radically simple to enable and deploy. They fill an important gap in the autonomy ecosystem by providing safe autonomy systems to traditionally ignored sectors due to their high risk nature. They convert some of the largest heavy equipment found in mining, forestry, earth moving, agriculture, shipping yards, and more into fully autonomous robots.
Polymath's product consists of advanced elements of autonomous navigation, but provided over an easy-to-use and familiar REST API that can be consumed easily by non-robotics experts.
