We are the Academy of Robotics
See the journey that started as a small team from Aberystwyth in Wales, grow to become a company now developing autonomous vehicle technology. Our journey started with us working on small robots in a Computer Science department, today we now employ many people, and working on building street legal autonomous. We now have several corporate and commercial partners are proudly part of NVIDIA’s Inception Incubator.
In September 2016 after nearly two years of background work, planning and feasibility studies, the company Academy of Robotics Ltd was registered.
We built a functional autonomous vehicle with software able to drive itself unaided. Though functional, this was a hacked together prototype based on the Renault Twizy
Now partnered with NVIDIA as part of their Inception incubator, we built the software stack, api and most of the control systems for our vehicle. It is now testing in a virtual environment.
We will be unveiling the final version of our street legal autonomous vehicle to the world at the worlds largest technology conference for autonomous vehicles in Germany, the NVIDIA GPU Conference.
We had an early working prototype. This was a robot able to drive itself on unmarked roads and able to deliver a package.
We launched an investment round seeking 300K. This was to raise enough funding to be able to build a street legal prototype of our first product, Kar-go.
Our team expands, it now includes Paul Burgess the multi-award winning former designer. Coming from McLaren, Paul will be chief engineer working with the team to make our final version of our vehicle.
We received a 10 000 grant from Aberystwyth University through their Inventerprize Program as an award for innovation to be used as start-up capital.
Investment round raised and complete. Team starts work on the street legal version of our autonomous delivery vehicle, Kar-go.
The hardware prototype drives itself in the real world with over 99% autonomy. This was a critical phase now complete, we have now designed our own vehicle from scratch, with own control systems, AI and filed several patents around our technology
