About Polymath Robotics
Polymath Robotics builds its autonomy stack from modular building blocks, so a programme can take only the functions it needs: localisation, perception, navigation and planning, motion control, collision checking, health monitoring, geofencing, task behaviours and remote operation. The software is sensor-agnostic as well as vehicle-agnostic, allowing machines to keep their existing sensor sets, and autonomy runs on onboard compute so sensor data does not have to be streamed to a control centre.
Alongside the planning stack, Polymath supplies a safety system and infrastructure tooling for operating deployed machines. The company says its software runs across dozens of off-highway platforms for OEMs, fleet operators and government programmes. Logistics operator ConGlobal and industrial automation firm BIA5 have described using the system, and certified partners install drive-by-wire actuators, sensors and compute before machines are calibrated remotely.

Timeline
Events
- 2025-02-12 - Partnership - Polymath Robotics and ConGlobal develop collision avoidance for terminal hostlers
The system integrates on-vehicle radar with the vehicle controller. Testing met target braking distances around static and dynamic obstacles. The parties designed the safety architecture for third-party certification and eventual driver-out operation.
Source - 2023-11-02 - Product Launch - Polymath Robotics releases autonomous navigation modules
The first modules included GPS-free trailer localization and lidar fusion. The modules can be used individually or as part of Polymath's full autonomous navigation system. The product gives Polymath Robotics a concrete offering for robot sensing, actuation, compute or communications systems.
Source - 2022-07-27 - Company Formation - Polymath Robotics launches general autonomy software for industrial vehicles
Polymath Robotics came out of stealth with general autonomy software for industrial vehicles and a browser-accessible simulation API. Polymath said its software targeted industrial equipment such as agricultural and off-highway vehicles. The company disclosed it was in the Y Combinator summer cohort and already driving unmanned vehicles daily.
