Polymath Robotics supplies modular autonomy and safety software for off-highway vehicle OEMs and fleet operators.

category

Off-highway vehicle autonomy

market profile

  • text: Industrial vehicle autonomy programs must integrate navigation, safety, sensors and deployment across varied machines.
  • text: Fleet operators and OEMs can use modular software rather than build every autonomy component in-house.

personas

  • title: OEM head of autonomy
    pains:
    • Building a production autonomy stack across diverse vehicle platforms takes specialist engineering time.
    • Integrating sensors and validating safety delays deployment.
  • title: Industrial fleet innovation leader
    pains:
    • Needs to automate equipment in difficult off-highway environments.
    • Network and field service overhead can weaken deployment economics.
  • title: Robotics engineering lead
    pains:
    • Must integrate vehicle controls, planning and safety across hardware variants.
    • Needs a usable interface to test and operate machines.

icp

  • text: Off-highway vehicle manufacturers building autonomous equipment lines.
  • text: Large industrial fleet operators in logistics, mining, agriculture or construction evaluating automation.

message pillars

  • text: Shorten and simplify autonomy development.
  • text: Fit the stack to diverse machines and sensors.
  • text: Adopt only needed functions as the program grows.

objections

  • objection: Will it integrate with our equipment?
    response: Validate controls, sensors and operating environment with a scoped vehicle assessment.
  • objection: How do we establish safety and reliability?
    response: Review the safety system and agree on site-specific verification and acceptance criteria.
