The offer

Pivot Robotics (YCW24) is building AI brains for robot arms in high-mix manufacturing.

Pivot Robots uses off-the shelf robots, vision sensors and recent breakthroughs in foundation models to give industrial robotic arms the ability to adapt. Our first product addresses the dangerous and unpopular task that is grinding metal parts. Our software is currently being deployed on 10+ robotic machines at a large foundry.
