Viam

We're proud to partner with Universal Robots and thrilled for the collaboration ahead! This partnership will help us scale our solutions globally and sets the stage for rapid innovation in the years to come.

"The more you build, the faster you'll learn. You'll also discover what you find hard and what you find exciting. There's really no substitute for that." — Simone Kalmakis, VP Engineering at Viam That was one of many insights shared at our Women + TGX in Robotics NYC career panel last week at the Viam HQ when we brought together Simone, Jasmine Lawrence Campbell, Rosalind Shinkle, and Samarpita C. for an evening exploring career paths in robotics. From discussing debugging as a superpower to the importance of user experience in robotics products, the conversation reinforced that there's no single path into this field, just curiosity, drive, and a willingness to keep building. Thank you to Women + TGX in Robotics NYC for partnering with us and to everyone who joined. Building an inclusive robotics community starts with events like these.

We’re excited to demo alongside some of NYC’s most innovative hardware teams—like Gambit Robotics, Inc., Infinite Machine, Standard Bots, Kyber Labs, and Lambda Surgical—at South Park Commons’ first-ever hardware-only demo night. Join us on Dec 3 to see Viam’s wine-pouring robot in action. Register now: https://lnkd.in/egifKvjP.

Your competitors may try to copy your hardware. They may even reverse-engineer your algorithms. But they can't replicate the operational intelligence you've collected from your robots learning in real-world conditions. Because Tennibot uses Viam, they can automatically collect sensor data, performance metrics, and operational logs from the thousands of robots they manage. This means faster development cycles and more innovation. Learn the 5 infrastructure requirements for operational intelligence: https://lnkd.in/eVX5hyyg.

We're so excited to partner with Universal Robots and unlock new AI and automation opportunities in surface finishing and beyond. As we expand our robotic manufacturing solutions, our hardware partners help us deliver a fast, reliable path to deploy automation at scale.

Across industries, we see the same trend: teams solving physical-world problems faster because Viam enables them to approach automation and robotics like modern software development—with modular components, advanced APIs, integrated AI tools, and more. On The Spoon podcast, Viam Founder and CEO Eliot Horowitz joins Michael Wolf to explain why the kitchen is such a promising test ground for robotics development. It’s a challenging, unpredictable environment that once would have required years of custom engineering, and startups like Gambit Robotics, Inc. can now build on Viam in a fraction of that time.

We’re live at Metstrade 2025! Visit us at booth 11.525 in the Construction and Materials zone to see our AI-powered robotic sanding system in action. From block sanding to gelcoat spraying and more, our team is excited to dive into your automation goals and walk through how new production methods are transforming surface finishing.

Today we’re welcoming Universal Robots as our newest flagship hardware partner! As we expand our robotic manufacturing solutions, our hardware partners help us deliver a fast, reliable path to deploy automation at scale. Universal Robots' cobots run on the Viam platform across surface finishing solutions in marine manufacturing, including fiberglass sanding, gelcoat and paint application, wood sanding, and polishing. The partnership will help us scale our solutions globally and sets the stage for rapid innovation in the years to come. This week, we’re debuting our robotic block sanding solution to European boatbuilders at Metstrade 2025 in Amsterdam. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/e5KXvMTN.

“If you're a smart engineer who can code, you don't need a robotics PhD to build robots anymore.” — Tennibot CEO Haitham Eletrabi Tennibot is a robotics and AI company that manages thousands of robotic ball machines and ball collectors for tennis, padel, and pickleball with a team of just 10 people. This isn't luck—it's strategic architecture. By choosing platform infrastructure over custom-built systems, Tennibot's engineering team focuses entirely on product innovation. Tennibot's approach demonstrates a fundamental shift in how robotics companies can scale: small teams with the right infrastructure can move faster than large teams with the wrong tools. The same approach can accelerate your robotics development. Read our full interview with Haitham Eletrabi: https://lnkd.in/etkMJmc4. And try the platform today (for free) at the link in comments.
