Overview
Daxbot builds people-centric autonomous urban service robots for sidewalk accessibility assessment and security patrolling, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Philomath, Oregon. Its Dax ADA robots use centimeter-accurate RTK and laser suites to generate PROWAG-grade sidewalk inventories for cities, while Dax Security robots provide autonomous 24/7 patrol coverage with live video streaming.
All robots run DaxOS, a lightweight chip-based operating system where behavioral modules vote on every movement, and each robot is assembled in Oregon under multiple U.S. patents.
