Pivot Robots (YC W24) is building the AI brain for robot arms for high-mix manufacturing. Nearly 75% of U.S. manufacturers are high-mix, producing a wide variety of parts in small quantities. They can't use traditional robotics, whose software is designed for repetitive production. With 2.4 million jobs unfilled by 2030, the U.S. risks losing $1 trillion annually without adaptable automation. 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. Their first product directly addresses the dangerous and unpopular task of grinding metal parts. Currently, their software is being deployed on 10+ robots at a large cast iron foundry. Behind Pivot Robots are Siddharth Girdhar and Vignesh Rajmohan, who met on their first day at Carnegie Mellon. Since then, they’ve collected rich robotics and AI experience from Meta, Google X, Uber ATG, and ABB and are excited to use it all to solve challenges in robotic automation for industries ripe for innovation. Congrats Siddharth and Vignesh on the launch!
