Ready Robotics

Ready Robotics develops an operating system for collaborative robots that enables users to control industrial robots by chaining together building blocks into visual flowcharts, eliminating the need for specialized programming expertise. The company operates in the industrial robotics space, providing software solutions that simplify robot deployment and operation for manufacturers of all sizes. The platform's intuitive flowchart-based interface allows operators to program complex robotic tasks by connecting functional blocks representing movements, logic operations, I/O commands, and other robot actions, making automation accessible to workers without traditional robotics programming backgrounds. This approach reduces the time and cost associated with deploying collaborative robots on factory floors, enabling manufacturers to automate repetitive tasks such as pick-and-place, machine tending, packaging, and assembly. The operating system supports multiple robot brands and models, providing a unified programming environment across different hardware platforms. Ready Robotics targets industries including manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing where collaborative robots are increasingly deployed alongside human workers. The company's technology addresses the skills gap in industrial automation by democratizing robot programming, allowing existing factory personnel to configure and operate robotic systems with minimal training. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Ready Robotics has raised $43.5M in Series B funding from investors including Emerald Development Managers, Canaan, Micron Ventures, RRE Ventures, Eniac Ventures, Drive Capital, Johns Hopkins University, Rockwell Automation, Nvidia, SIP Global Partners, Micron, Sagamore Ventures, and Hypertherm. The team comprises 29 employees.
