In the rapidly evolving landscape of industrial automation, one company is making waves with its cutting-edge autonomous robotics solutions: Ati Motors. Based in Bangalore and Detroit, this innovative startup is at the forefront of developing next-generation autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that seamlessly integrate into existing manufacturing environments, both indoors and outdoors.

Ati Motors takes a hands-on, practical approach to robotics, designing products that have been rigorously tested and deployed in real-world factories and warehouses. The company's flagship offering, the Sherpa Line of AMRs, employs advanced natural navigation technology, combining 3D LiDAR and camera vision to navigate complex industrial settings with unprecedented agility and precision.

"Ati adheres to a straightforward principle to prioritize customer requirements: 'Zero Infrastructure Requirement,'" said a company representative. "This means ensuring that customers don't need to alter anything in their factory to utilize Ati's products."

This customer-centric philosophy permeates every aspect of Ati Motors' design process, from the compact and maneuverable three-wheel configuration of the Sherpa Tug to its robust power electronics and advanced automation software. The company takes pride in creating robots that seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructures, both indoors and outdoors, without the need for costly modifications.

At the core of Ati Motors' approach lies a commitment to continuous refinement of algorithms that strike an optimal balance between performance and complexity. This iterative process, backed by strong mathematical foundations and extensive real-world testing, ensures that the solutions developed by Ati are efficient, reliable, and scalable, meeting the evolving needs of users and clients.

The Sherpa Line of AMRs is equipped with Ati Motors' proprietary Sherpa Guide software stack, which controls the fleet of robots, providing essential autonomy functions, including mapping, path planning, obstacle avoidance, battery monitoring, and maintenance telemetry. Additionally, the flagship analytics tool, Sanjaya, offers users granular insights into their operations, enabling data-driven decision-making and continuous process improvements.

Ati Motors' interdisciplinary engineering expertise spans artificial intelligence, power electronics, control systems, mechanical engineering, system software, electronics, and manufacturing, ensuring a holistic approach to robotics development.

In 2023, Ati Motors secured $10.85 million in a Series A funding round led by True Ventures, with participation from new investor Athera Ventures Partners and existing investors Blume Ventures, Exfinity Ventures, and MFV Partners. This funding will fuel the company's expansion into markets across the United States, Southeast Asia, Japan, and Europe, as well as drive research and development efforts to launch new products and capabilities.

With a client roster that includes industry giants such as Bosch, TVS, CEAT, and Hyundai, Ati Motors has firmly established itself as a trusted partner in the realm of industrial automation. As the demand for Industry 4.0-ready solutions continues to grow, Ati Motors' innovative approach and commitment to customer satisfaction position the company as a leader in the rapidly evolving world of autonomous robotics.
