Realtime Robotics, Inc.
Realtime Robotics is a Boston-based deep-tech company that gives industrial and collaborative robots the ability to plan collision-free motion in real time. Spun out of DARPA-funded research at Duke University in 2016, its RapidPlan software and RapidSense perception system let robots generate and adjust their own paths in microseconds, cutting the time and cost of programming, deploying, and coordinating multiple robots in a shared workspace. Its technology is used by manufacturers including the BMW Group, and the company is backed by strategic investors such as Mitsubishi Electric, HAHN Automation, and SAIC Capital.
Jacobi Robotics
Jacobi Robotics is a UC Berkeley spinout building AI-powered motion planning software that lets industrial robot arms be programmed and deployed in under a day instead of a month. Its platform generates collision-free trajectories in under a millisecond, and its flagship product, the Jacobi OmniPalletizer, handles real-time mixed-case palletizing without pre-sequencing. Founded in 2022 and launched publicly in 2024 with a $5M seed round, the company partners with robotics providers like Formic and ABB to bring faster, cheaper automation to manufacturers and warehouses.
