The Company

Vision Robotics Corporation (VRC) has developed a proprietary and patented technology to produce robotics solutions employing vision-based mapping, localization, and navigation systems. By integrating well-known algorithms with the most recent developments from leading university research laboratories, VRC has created a uniquely robust and cost effective approach to robotics.

Founded in 1999, when the convergence of factors-specifically, lower cost components, the need for efficient labor solutions across multiple industries, and significant advances in robotics technology-indicated that robotics was ready to move out of the lab and into the marketplace. VRC develops autonomous robotics solutions based on their "SLAM" system.

Vision Robotics is currently involved in partnerships with manufacturers of consumer products, enterprise clients and industrial design companies. VRC is currently working on projects with clients involved in household cleaning, agriculture, homeland security, risk management, hazardous materials, security, home health care, agriculture, industrial design and military applications.
