Its customers and partners span energy operators, industrial manufacturers, and the U.S. military.

- **Founded:** 2013
- **Headquarters:** Pittsburgh, United States
- **Founders:** Jake Loosararian (Cofounder and CEO), Troy Demmer (Cofounder and President)
- **Products:** Cantilever, Robotic inspection and AI+R, Advanced manufacturing, Aircraft digital twins and extended reality, Navy sustainment
- **Notable:** Y Combinator Winter 2016 participant., CNBC Disruptor 50 recognition in 2024 and 2025., Fast Company Most Innovative Companies recognition in 2024.

## Products & services

- **Cantilever** — Software platform that combines robot-collected condition data with operational records to support asset health analysis, repair plans, risk modeling, and capital allocation.
- **Robotic inspection and AI+R** — Wall-climbing crawlers and other robotic systems collect ultrasonic and visual data on tanks, boilers, piping, ships, and other critical assets. Sensor and robot selection depend on the application.
- **Advanced manufacturing** — Robotic inspection, software, and deployed engineering support quality assurance and component production, including work with BPMI and naval suppliers.
- **Aircraft digital twins and extended reality** — Collaboration with L3Harris uses more than 10,000 aircraft-surface images to construct 3D models for remote maintenance assessment.
- **Navy sustainment** — Robotic assessments and digital asset models support condition evaluation and maintenance planning for naval ships and components.
