Pivot Robots (YC W24) is building the AI brain for robot arms for high-mix manufacturing.
Pivot Robots combines off-the-shelf robots and vision sensors with recent breakthroughs in foundation vision models to give industrial robot arms the power to adapt. Our first product directly addresses the dangerous and unpopular task of grinding metal parts. Currently, our software is being deployed on 10+ robots at a large cast iron foundry.
