Where We Started

FORT grew out of another robotics company that had a focus on landmine clearance technology. After 10 years of working on one of the world's most dangerous applications, our founder saw a need for that same kind of durable, rigorous, military-grade safety in other fields, such as warehousing, construction, agriculture. In 2018, FORT Robotics was founded to empower more companies to adopt autonomous systems by making it safer and easier.
