Brain
Brain Corp's cloud-connected autonomous operating system for commercial robots. Provides SLAM-based navigation, obstacle avoidance, dynamic routing, cloud fleet management and reporting. OEMs build it into their own hardware; it powers a large share of the autonomous commercial floor-cleaning fleet (SoftBank Whiz, Tennant X4 ROVR, ICE Cobi 18, Nilfisk Liberty SC60).
