The verified answer
As of Oct 2026, DEPLOY verifies Realtime Robotics: 1 model. 1 source back the record.
Overview
Realtime Robotics develops collision-free autonomous motion planning software for industrial robots and autonomous vehicles. Founded in 2016 out of Duke University research by professors George Konidaris and Dan Sorin, the Boston-based company's Resolver platform generates and evaluates hundreds of thousands of motion plans in milliseconds, enabling multi-robot coordination and dynamic obstacle avoidance for automotive and manufacturing workcells.
