Our mission is to unlock the full potential of automation by accelerating development, reducing risk, and building trust in autonomous systems.
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.
Today, FORT works with hundreds of companies, including dozens of Fortune 500 companies and leaders in robotics and AI development all over the world.
We work with a broad range of industries—including warehousing, construction, transportation, manufacturing, last-mile delivery, and more—to streamline team efficiency and orchestrate smart machine functionality while thwarting safety risks and security breaches at every turn.
We believe the technologies that keep our world safe and secure for every kind of human-machine interaction should be built by and built for every kind of human.
To us, that means creating a sense of genuine belonging regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, gender identity, physical or mental ability– for every kind of human.
We work hard to be proactively inclusive in the way we hire our employees, lead our teams, design our products, choose our partners, and serve our customers. Like any good builder, we stay open to new ideas, welcome constructive advice, and are constantly improving on the things we make and the way we treat each other.
Safety unlocks the pathway forward for robotics and is a huge impactful and investable opportunity. FORT is creating systems that will accelerate the rise of autonomous vehicles and robotics, making work safer and more productive.
